Tom Fogerty is a really good musician. People always compare him to his more talentend brother John (and obviously there's no comparison) rather than enjoying his talent.
Un buen músico, al que no se le dio el valor que tenía. Podía haber cantado algunos temas de CCR para que descanse John, pero éste nunca lo permitió, aun sabiendo que no podía superarlo. Cuando TF se fue de CCR no sólo se notó la falta de su guitarra rítmica, sino que la banda se desplomó por completo. EGOS que le dicen... Y es responsabilidad de los 4.
It’s so sad that the two brothers were unable to reconcile, it’s a tragic event for John Fogerty to have to live with, I know artist more often than not express their feelings through songs, I’ve pondered if he ever wrote with regard to his brother and the band. I would love to hear John write more close to home songs, he has throughout his career.
I met Tom in 1970. He was a kind and good man. He was part of Creedence. It is a tribute to John that he covers John's song. Creedence was complete with him on rhythm guitar. But Creedence would never have been as successful as Tom Fogerty and the Blue Velvets or the Golliwogs until John's unique voice and composition of Susie Q, and the creative genius of Proud Mary and the run of top 10 hits that give CCR lasting power. But I will always see Tom in my recollection of that great music.
Es una pena la mala suerte que tuvo Tom, al ser contagiado de sida en una transfusion de sangre.. No habia cumplido aún los 40. Se ha hablado muchisimo de las movidas que hubo entre los dos hermanos Fogerty, y no nos olvidemos de los otros dos miembros, que comletaban el personal de Creedence. No hay lugar a dudas de que John era el músico con más talento, era el lider sin discusion, pero creo que pecó de autoritarismo, fue un tanto acaparador, deberia haber sido mas condescendiente con el resto del grupo, para que tuvieran mas presencia en la elaboracion de los temas; por supuesto, sin perder él el control y la direccion de la musica. Una vez más, el exito hace estragos, y una banda,que todavia tenia muchas cosas que decir, finalizó su fructífero recorrido pero, desgraciadamente, el camino se quedó muy corto. Aún asi, Creedence quedara para la historia, como una gran banda de reck. Saludos
Dite e pensate quello che volete ma senza tom fogerty i ccr hanno smesso di esistere. Certo john e stato un talento indiscusso ma con una freddezza e una cattiveri non comuni nei confronti di suo fratello piu grande. Tom era un ragazzo molto sensibile ed ha risentito umanamente ed artisticamente le controversie con john . Sono un fan dei ccr da piu di 50 anni e sinceramente voglio piu bene a tom che a john.
Lodi is my favorite Creedence song and, sure, this rendition by Tom without CCR is nice, but it just makes me a little sad thinking about what the band could've been without all the infighting, Tom's departure, the breakup, or the complicated legal battles, some of which lasted decades after the breakup, that only made the 3 surviving members more bitter towards each other.
Brothers fight, it’s a given. To bad John & Tom couldn’t have made up before Tom died. If they had made up, I believe strongly that Tom would have rejoined the band. I wonder what their future music would have sounded like if Tom rejoined? AWESOME!!
@@davidkirkham6497 after more than 55 years of Credence Clearwater Revival, you should have read how John’s big head edged out Tom as leader of the group. If you don’t know their history by now, maybe you shouldn’t be commenting on them. Do some homework. 😀
@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw Your the 1 who should be checking out history on Creedence Clearwater Revival! John did not edge out Tom Fogerty! It was John Fogerty’s band all along! John, Doug and Stu Cook took Tom on as a singer as they(John, Doug, Stu were an instrumental band in the early years! Yes, Tom Fogerty was the original singer when they were the Blue Velvets, Gollywogs etc. However, in or around 1967, John Fogerty took over the singing as John was a much superior singer as compared to Tom! At the same time John Fogerty wrote all the songs 4 the band as he was a superior songwriter to any of the other 3 bandmates! John Fogerty took them from “garage band” status to arguably one of the best roots based R&R bands in history! The “ego” that you are referring to is called talent!
John had them at their peak, they were competing and coming in #2 to the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, had the other band mates not become jealous, the band could have another 3-4 very successful albums and maybe that coveted #1 hit.
Tom was a great guitar player with a wonderful voice. I love Tom`s music. RIP
Tom sounds amazing singing his brother's song
Tom Forgety 4ever & ever! Lovely!👄🇿🇦❤

Tom had been an indispensable member of CCR. There's no doubt. The band lost its magic after he had left it.
@Evil Rev Exactly! Mr. Nobuo has no clue what he's on about.

R.I.P. Tom
One of them 2 guitar attacks that your Never heard about! Tom was as solid at rhythm as they come!

I do have the various solo releases from TF and very much enjoy listening to them.

Love this version, better than CCR, it is my taste
Tenía mucho sentimiento en la voz

He tried to get them back together.
@@davidkirkham6497 To bad he couldn’t get passed John’s EGO!
@@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw Did John have an ego? Wish you would expand on that statement?

Lodi, NY or, Lodi, NJ ?
Lodi, CA
Cada coisa em seu lugar, time que estar ganhando não se mexe! Esse tom nunca deve ser cantor e sim guitarrista integrante do CCR
Tom was good but obviously John was much more talented.
Ahhhh no thanks. RIP but he is not even in the league with John.
Very, true!👍
Hasn't got his little brothers magic
John ran the band into the ground. Tore the heart out of it
You should have been running the band, then! What a stupid thing to state on a public entity!
John had them at their peak, they were competing and coming in #2 to the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, had the other band mates not become jealous, the band could have another 3-4 very successful albums and maybe that coveted #1 hit.
