Legendary Credence Clearwater Revival founder John Fogerty discusses fighting record label lawsuits, his songwriting process, and how a divine inspiration led him to write "Proud Mary" after receiving his military discharge—revealing how the music business betrayed him despite creating massive hits. Fogerty wrote all Credence Clearwater Revival songs despite being in a band; bandmates contributed no material during early success, creating resentment that eventually fractured the group. The CIA-connected Castle Bank that held Credence's savings disappeared in the 1970s after Fogerty demanded his money back, and he only recovered $8.1 million total despite generating hundreds of millions in record sales.
