This is a promotional release of the first single from John Fogerty's 1986 album of the same name. It was his follow-up release to his album "Centerfield".

John Fogerty is the former lead singer, lead guitarist and primary songwriter from the band Creedance Clearwater Revival. He and his brother, Tom Fogerty, Doug Clifford, and Stu Cook formed their first band in El Cerrito, California in the late 1950s as Tommy Fogerty and the Blue Velvets. The name was changed to The Golliwogs in the mid 1960s, but the band remained unpopular.

The government tried to draft Fogerty in 1966, but instead he joined an Army reserve unit. He served at Fort Bragg, Fort Knox and Fort Lee. Fogerty was released from the army in 1967.

By 1968, things started to pick up for the band. The band released its first album, the self-titled Creedence Clearwater Revival, and also had their first hit single, "Suzie Q". Other hit singles of the band were "Proud Mary", "Fortunate Son", "Up Around the Bend", "Lodi", "Green River", "Down On the Corner", "Travelin' Band", "Lookin' Out My Back Door", "Bad Moon Rising", "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" and "Who'll Stop The Rain."

Creedence Clearwater Revival performed at Woodstock in August, 1969. They were the first band to be signed for the festival, but Fogerty was unhappy with the band's performance during their set, so he wouldn't give permission for any portion of their performance to be included in "Woodstock," the film which documented the legendary rock festival.
