Songfacts: Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman John Fogerty, who wrote the song, had never actually been to a bayou when he wrote the song - he researched it in encyclopedias and imagined a bayou childhood for the song's narrative. Fogerty, who is from the very unswamplike Berkeley, California, got his first look at a bayou courtesy of John Fred, the one-hit wonder who sang "Judy In Disguise (with Glasses)." Fred was from Louisiana, and when Creedence played a show in Baton Rouge in 1969, he met Fogerty at a rehearsal and offered to take him to a real bayou. They drove 15 minutes to Bayou Forche, where they ate some crabs and crayfish, giving Fogerty the idea for this song.

Ha ha, very good, Susan Maggiora. Here's some details for all of US and Jamel, while it sounds like Swamp Music from the Bayou of Louisiana, as people here in the comments are mentioning, the fact is that CCR is a California group born and bred. • MEET THE BAND, CREDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL details from Wikipedia > John Cameron Fogerty (born May 28, 1945 in Berkeley, California) is known as a musician, singer, and songwriter. Together with drummer Doug "Cosmo" Clifford born in Palo Alto, California, Stu Cook out of Oakland, California on bass, and John's brother Tom Fogerty, John founded the band Creedence Clearwater Revival ("CCR"), for which he was the lead singer, lead guitarist, and principal songwriter. The group had nine top-10 singles and eight gold albums between 1968 and 1972, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, John Fogerty was born in Berkeley, California, and grew up in El Cerrito, California, one of five sons born to Galen Robert and Edith Lucile Fogerty. His father was a native of South Dakota, and worked as a Linotype operator for the Berkeley Gazette in California. Lucile Fogerty was from Great Falls, Montana. When John was two years old, his parents converted to Catholicism. He first attended a Catholic school, the School of the Madeleine, in Berkeley California. In his memoir, Fortunate Son, Fogerty was critical of the school, saying when in class he was not permitted to go to the bathroom when he asked, and frequently wet himself and was forced to sit in his wet clothing. Now dig this; after about a year, Fogerty enrolled in nearby Harding Grammar School. In his book, he stated that his parents were alcoholics and that they divorced when he was in the third or fourth grade. He later attended St. Mary's High School, then transferred to El Cerrito High School, where he met the other future members of CCR and took guitar lessons from Berkeley Folk Festival creator/producer Barry Olivier. Fogerty's older brother Tom was a guitarist and bandmate in the group that eventually became CCR. Fogerty spent summer vacations at Putah Creek, near Winters, California, which became the subject of the CCR song "Green River". There is also an unrelated Green River soda pop from Chicago, popular in the Midwest back in the day. While in junior high school in 1959, Fogerty formed a cover band with bassist Stu Cook and drummer Doug Clifford called the Blue Velvets. The band was inspired by rock and roll pioneers, especially Little Richard and Bo Diddley. Later, Fogerty's brother Tom joined the group. In 1964, the band signed with Fantasy Records, which without the band's knowledge or approval, changed the band's name from the Blue Velvets to the Golliwogs. This group recorded seven singles that were not commercially successful. FORTUNATE SON: Military Service Fogerty received his draft notice for military service during the Vietnam War in 1966. The same day he received the notice, he went to a local United States Army Reserve recruiter, who signed him up immediately for training as a Supply Clerk. Fogerty believes the recruiter dated the paperwork to take effect before the draft letter arrived. During his time in the Army Reserve, Fogerty attended training at Fort Bragg, North Carolina; Fort Knox, Kentucky; and Fort Lee, Virginia. He completed his active duty for training in July 1967, then served as a part time reservist until being discharged in 1968. BACK TO THE FUTURE After Fogerty's military service, the Golliwogs resumed playing, releasing an album in late 1967. In 1968, they changed their name to Creedence Clearwater Revival, with John Fogerty taking his brother's place as lead singer. CCR released their eponymous debut album and also had their first hit single, "Susie Q". Many other hit singles and albums followed, beginning with "Proud Mary" and the album Bayou Country. The rest, as they say, is history.

love that thank you for sharing x

I come from a little village in Ontario, Canada, in cottage country. Back in the 80s, suddenly the locals discovered that a man who lived in one of the cottages there was... John Fogerty. He was laying low in my back yard, wrote some songs there, hung out with some of our local musicians. I felt like we had royalty living among us. John and his kids have some great videos that they put out recently during the Covid crisis... his kids look like a younger version of the band... and they all sound great.

My mom was born and raised in Louisiana, I was born there, but dad was in the army so we moved around a lot. CCR is one of dad's favorite all time bands, mine to for that matter.

Try their version of Marvin Gaye's "I heard it through the grapevine" - an absolute treat.

As long as you've got almost 11 mins to spare!

These guys have a soft spot in my heart. You would think it would be the Beatles, but there is only one band that both me and my parents really loved, and it’s these guys. Thank you CCR for wonderful childhood memories of jamming with my folks on long car rides in the 70’s!

Straight up house party music! Head down and. eyes closed...jammin.

One of the best bands ever

Creedance Clearwater Revival has that unforgettable sound of music hitting with a unique full force of talent. Their music is memorable being featured in popular movies or films.

CCR "As Long As I Can See The Light" please please please.
