Creedence Clearwater Revival
Creedence Clearwater Revival was an American rock band from the late 1960s and early 1970s, known for roots-influenced songs like "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," and "Fortunate Son." Often shortened to CCR or Creedence: My dad's always playing Creedence in the garage.
The band's swampy sound became synonymous with the Vietnam War era.
