John Fogerty: Harrison and Dylan told me ‘Sing Proud Mary or they think it’s a Tina Turner song’
The former Creedence Clearwater Revival frontman talks about his 50-year legal battle – and Bob Dylan’s life-changing advice

John Fogerty is aware of the paradox. At a time when musicians from Bruce Springsteen to Neil Young are selling the copyright to their song catalogues for eye-watering sums of money, the Creedence Clearwater Revival singer has just bought his back after a gruelling 50-year legal battle. Tracks such as Bad Moon Rising and Proud Mary – the 1969 song covered by Ike and Tina Turner as well as Elvis – are finally majority-owned by the 77-year-old after decades of wrangling with the band’s late label owner Saul Zaentz.

 

Fogerty had been avoiding singing his old songs following a serious breakdown of communications with his and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s label. Fantasy Records still had CCR contractually obliged to produce more albums when the band broke up. To avoid the huge contract-breaking fee Fogerty gave the label the copyright royalties to all of his songs.

In an interview with Uncut, Fogerty recalled: “Dylan’s words were very provocative, and he certainly put the bee in my bonnet, you could say.” Looking back at the man who wrote his neglected songs he said: “That guy must have had a lot on his mind. He must have been a troubled person, to make that sort of a decision. I daresay it has harmed me in some way.”
