"Sitting on a sofa, John Fogerty, 80, is waiting in the depths of a hotel conference room. Suddenly, in slow motion, the Berkeley-born singer-songwriter stands up and excuses himself. Do you mind if I say hello to my granddaughters before we start? he asks. His tone is polite and almost hurried. The interview begins 45 minutes late and he didn't expect his two granddaughters to appear through the door right when the last journalist of the morning arrived."
"The speaking voice of one of the most recognizable singers in the history of popular music whose songs for the legendary rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival are often among the most played on rock radio shows around the world sounds like that of a goldfinch. It's fragile and mellow quite different from the sharp, edgy voice that pierces the soul with every chorus. This living legend of American rock is dressed in his usual outfit: light-colored jeans and a dark blue flannel plaid shirt that matches his neckerchief."
John Fogerty, aged 80, greets his granddaughters before an interview, arriving 45 minutes late after a restless morning. His speaking voice is described as fragile and mellow, contrasting with the sharp, edgy singing that defines Creedence Clearwater Revival choruses. He wears his trademark light-colored jeans, dark blue flannel shirt and neckerchief. Fogerty continues to perform and record because music makes him feel good and it makes audiences happy. He released Legacy: The Creedence Clearwater Revival Years with Concord Records and toured Europe over the summer, performing with his sons Shane and Tyler.
