The band's most prolific and successful period between 1969 and 1971 produced fourteen consecutive Top 10 singles and five consecutive Top 10 albums in the United States – two of which, Green River (1969) and Cosmo's Factory (1970), reached number one. The band performed at the 1969 Woodstock festival in Upstate New York and was the first major act signed to appear there.
The band became so famous that industry experts were saying CCR would overtake the Beetles and they might have if they would've stayed together longer. Evidence of their impact is when in 1976 they released a greatest hits album, and it remained on the Billboard Top 200 Albums for around 11 years. That's right, eleven years!
I can listen to songs like "Proud Mary, "Born on the Bayou," and "Bad Moon Rising," again and again. They were inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.
