Willie And The Poor Boys
Creedence Clearwater Revival
So popular was CCR worldwide that by 1970 the group was consistently scoring hits on both the A and B sides of its singles, a feat previously accomplished only by Elvis Presley and the Beatles. This LP, released in November 1969, proved no exception, containing "Fortunate Son" and "Down on the Corner," the latter becoming one of CCR's biggest hits to date. Fogerty's fine gritty voice and his tight vocal overdubbing are standouts, along with his excellent renditions of "Cotton Fields" and "Midnight Special." Willy and the Poor Boys remained on the Billboard charts for 60 weeks, scoring as high as #3 and garnering for the group its third platinum LP.
John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook, Doug Clifford
