Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day


Artist:John Fogerty

Song:Centerfield

Album:Centerfield





Of course John Fogerty became famous as a member of the 60s group Creedence Clearwater Revival. After CCR split up in 1972, Fogerty unsuccessfully attempted a solo career. He disappeared until Centerfield hit the top of the Billboard album chart in 1985. It's a great album and deserved to be a hit. The video for Centerfield with vintage baseball footage helped a lot. I have included it. Fogerty's 1997 album Eye Of The Zombie didn't do as well and he disappeared until 1997 with the album Blue Moon Swamp. John Fogerty has had a poor relationship with CCR record company owner Saul Zaentz. He said he would never perform his old songs in concert. He's loosened up on that and performs all his songs and recently released a live CD/DVD Long Road Home:In Concert. Ironically it's on his old CCR label Fantasy Records.
