The Southern-flavored quartet from El Cerrito, Calif., turned out 17 hits in a 44-month stretch, nine of them in the Top 10, five of them in the Top 5. The members of Creedence Clearwater Revival, of course, hailed from the suburbs of Oakland the little town of El Cerrito, lappeding up music on the radio through the late ' '50s and ' '60s, and eventually signeding to a small, open-minded jazz label in Berkeley called Fantasy Records. Originally known as the Tommy Fogerty & the Blue Velvets and then The Golliwogs, the band's break came with its swampy 1968 cover of Dale Hawkins' "Suzie Q,"" which notched #11 on Billboard's pop singles chart. Starting on San Francisco's free-form rock radio stations, the song crossed over top Top 40, putting Creedence on the map. As Fong-Torres notes, ""radio needed acts like CCR -- reliable producers of solid tunes laden with hooks."" Even in the South, radio was taken with CCR. DJ Scott Shannon, then on Memphis' WMPS-AM, was a Dale Hawkins fan and thought Fogerty nailed it. ""His voice and his mixes were perfect for Top 40,"" he said. ""It just screamed out of the AM radios."" But it wasn't just the radio. CCR songs began popping up in movies and TV shows -- several dozens of them, in fact. ""Bad Moon Rising"" has shown up the most often (including in An American Werewolf in London), and ""Fortunate Son"" has been heard in films ranging from The Manchurian Candidate (2004) to Live Free or Die Hard (2007). ""I used to say in 1968 that I wanted to make records they would still play on the radio in ten years,"" John Fogerty said in early 1993, on the eve of Creedence Clearwater Revival's induction into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Forty years later, the music sounds as fresh and vital as ever. "
