Over their brief but impactful career, CCR released seven studio albums between 1968 and 1972. They also released three live albums and numerous compilation albums. The band’s music, characterized by John Fogerty’s distinctive voice and songwriting, became a defining sound of late 1960s and early 1970s rock, blending elements of rock and roll, swamp rock, and Southern rock.

CCR achieved significant commercial success, with multiple albums and singles reaching high positions on the charts. Their album Green River (1969) and Cosmo’s Factory (1970) both reached number one on the Billboard 200 chart. They had numerous hit singles, including “Proud Mary,” “Bad Moon Rising,” “Green River,” “Down on the Corner,” “Fortunate Son,” “Travelin’ Band,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” Many of their songs became staples of American rock radio. Despite their immense popularity, the band never won a Grammy Award, though they have received posthumous recognition, including their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.
