    During the Vietnam War, if the teenagers were from wealthy, influential families then they didn't get drafted, go to war in a foreign country, and very likely never come home again. I'm simplifying but this song reminds me of them. This was the music for them...for their time. That said I love CCR's music.

He said he knew several guys his own age in Vietnam at that time. Imagine being a teenager in high school doing your final exams, then sent to fight in a jungle and probably get yourself killed.

    A lot of CCR songs have appeared in films, though "Fortunate Son" is probably the one used the most (especially in Vietnam War-based movies). Drummer Kenny Aronoff said when he was a kid reading a Hulk comic Credence came on the radio & he thought if The Hulk sang that's what he'd sound like! Years later Kenny got to record on Forgerty's "Blue Moon Swamp" album and toured with John between gigs with John Mellencamp and Bob Seger in the mid 90's. Forgerty's "The Old Man Down The Road" is an awesome song from his solo career.

    Ooooo, love me some CCR. Living as a young hippie teen in 1975, 76. I was obcessed, but most of us were. They have that perfect blusey southern rock sound for a bunch of guys from California. As soon as I was old enough we protested the Vietnam War at age 13 and 14, this was big during that time. We protested mainly about the treatment our soldiers as they came home. It was appalling how they were treated after being drafted so young (from ages 15 to 20), forced into war. Most were poor kids forced to fight in something most didnt believe in, then came home to the worst abuse, calling them baby k!llers, shunning them, etc. I salute the Vets. Thanx so much, Peace

    It may be a long band name but most people just referred to them as CCR, or sometimes, Creedence. CCR had so many hits, and they are one of those bands where I literally like every song that they've ever done. And they always had that signature Creedence sound, but yet there's such a huge variety in not only their catalog, but in all the hits that they had as well. Run Through the Jungle has been used in lots of movies and it was a huge hit. I bet you would absolutely love it, and it's longer, so you have time to really get into the groove and the texture and the mood of it. It's a pretty intense song. For something longer still, another of their big hits, Born on the Bayou really has this relentless swampy groove to it.

    Many think this song was about Americans being proud of the USA. Not true!! It was a protest song about rich and famous kids being able to avoid the draft during the Vietnam War. If you were poor or an average person and your draft number was called, you went to Vietnam. "Some folks are born made to wave the flag, hoo, they're red, white and blue, and when the band plays "Hail to the Chief "Ooh, they point the cannon at you." Also, "some folks inherit star-spangled eyes, hoo, they send you down to war, and when you ask 'em, "How much should we give?" Hoo, they only answer, "More, more, more, more."

    Greetings again from San Francisco! “Fortunate Son” is one of, if not THE greatest anti-Viet Nam war protest songs, EVER!!! It’s usually found accompanying film taken from UH-1D helicopters, often from a door gunner’s point of view. This song also accompanies film of napalm being dropped on jungles and hillsides. The point of the song is that if you came from money, it was easy to avoid being drafted and sent to Viet Nam. College deferments were easily obtained, and since poor or average middle class kids were likely not attending college or university, they were the first to go. Donald Trump got out of being drafted because he allegedly had bone spurs. Presumably from playing too much tennis. How many poor kids play tennis? “Fortunate Son,” along with all of CCR’s albums, was recorded at the Fantasy Records studio in Berkeley, California. This was also the recording location for Jouney’s “Escape” album and Green Day’s “Dookie” album. According to Wikipedia, Fantasy Studios permanently closed in 2018. Sad. Such music history should live forever. Thanks for checking out the music that I grew up with.

    This song is in every American Vietnam War movie. Also in Forrest Gump, among many, many other movies/tv shows. It's about the 'fortunate sons' of US politicians or rich people who were able to avoid being sent to Vietnam to fight. Most of the young men sent there were from poorer families. CCR have other very, very famous songs like "Run Through the Jungle' that are also featured in many war movies & action movies etc.

    Anything by CCR is great! I was fortunate enough to hear their music on the radio when they first released each song! The 50’s through the early 70’s was a great time to be alive and listening to some great artists! Now every song is auto tuned before it is released. There was no auto tuning back then.

    The great John Fogerty of Creedance--fantastic, unmistakable vocal, guitar and songwriter. See other songs: "Born on the Bayou", "Traveling Band", "Bad Moon Rising", "Who'll Stop the Rain?", "Proud Mary"--but definitely NOT a southern band. They were pure late-60s, early 70s California band--members met at Portola Junior High School (roughly 7th-9th grade, ages about 13-16) in El Cerrita, California.

    The members of Creedence Clearwater Revival were from El Cerrito, California, across the bay from San Francisco. Their sound is called "swamp rock," though none of them was from the south. John Fogerty, the lead guitarist and vocalist, affected a Louisiana accent. The song is about the Vietnam War and the draft. Military service was supposed to be universal, but the sons of the wealthy and well-connected were protected from having to serve. It was mainly the poor and middle class who fought and died in that war. CCR were a hit machine from 1968 through 1972, when they broke up because they weren't getting along with each other. Somehow during that time they never had a #1 hit, though they had several #2 hits. Some of their best: Proud Mary Bad Moon Rising Green River Down on the Corner Travelin' Band Who'll Stop the Rain Up Around the Bend Run Through the Jungle Lookin' Out My Back Door Long As I Can See the Light Have You Ever Seen the Rain Lodi I Heard It Through the Grapevine The Midnight Special I Put a Spell on You Cotton Fields

    OMG there are a huge amount of content from CCR. They were HUGE in my day and you know what? They are becoming huge again. John Fogerty wrote some of the most ever lasting songs of our day. (I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s America). CCR is charting again by the way. Check out Have you ever seen the rain, Green River, Proud Mary, yes John wrote that too, Bad Moon Rising, Run Through the Jungle, Up Around the Bend there are many for you to listen to. Oh and the ever popular I heard it Through The Grapevine. Love your feel for the music, your soul feels it deeply. ❤

Top should also be put on your list some place they're considered "blues rock, hard rock, boogie rock, Southern rock, blues, and Texas blues". Songs like 'La Grange' 'Tube Snake Boogie' ' Sharp Dressed Man' are good places to start. Especially 'La Grange' phenomenal stuff.

    Love you MollyBoy! This is my favorite CCR song! Saw them 3 times in the late 60s/early 70s. Just this one song has been used in the soundtracks of 10 different films from 1994 (Forest Gump) to 2017! This came out during the Vietnam War. Still relevant today! Credence has been on my bucket list to see again. Finally getting to see John Fogerty (lead singer, guitarist, songwriter) again in August at The Thunder Valley Venue in Northern California. His sons now play with him. The band itself broke up in 1972 over John’s dispute with the record label, who refused to let him buy back his own songs. He waited the 20 years until copyrights expired to get his songs back. Interesting enough, John is from Modesto, a town in the Central Valley of California. Neither he nor his parents were ever from a Southern state? He’s always sounded like he was born in the Southern States of the U.S.

Those were the best times. Today with instant everything, nothing is really appreciated like it was back then.

    Most people refer to them as "CCR" since it is such a long name. John Fogerty (Vocals & guitar) wrote all the music and lyrics for the band, he's a certified legend, they have so many amazing songs. It really does sound Southern and John wrote about the south, swamps, the Bayou, etc. but they were from San Francisco California, kind of like someone born and raised in Cornwall singing about the Scottish Highlands...

    Creedence Clearwater... CCR for short, were one of the biggest hitmakers of the 70s. Strap 'em down, you've stumbled into one of the deepest rabbit holes in classic rock. Their hits are almost endless. And don't be surprised if you think you recognize a lot of this music. It's appeared in movies, commercials, all over radio for eons. Check out "Who'll Stop The Rain" by them next. 👍

    Another classic rock staple. Its great. On the radio all the time but I enjoy it. I know all of CCR's top songs like Bad Moon Rising, Green River, Down on the Corner, and Run Through the Jungle. They also did covers like Suzie Q, I Heard it Through the Grapevine, and I Put a Spell on You. Yep its southern rock. This song was in Forest Gump. John Fogerty is the vocalist. Hes a legendary vocalist in classic rock. This is anti-war song but very patriotic. Its a style called roots rock. A style influenced by folk, country, and blues as opposed to psychedelic rock like the Beatles and the Doors. If you need Southern Rock... Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son and Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird.
