The Blue Velvets

Created at El Cerrito SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL in Berkeley, California, USA, the Blue Velvets had been made up of John Fogerty (b. 28 Might 1945, Berkeley, California, USA; acoustic guitar, vocals), Stu Make (b. 25 Apr 1945, Oakland, California, USA; bass) and Doug Clifford (b. 24 Apr 1945, Palo Alto, California, USA; drums). Their live looks were mainly constrained to teenage hops before trio was buoyed from the introduction of John’s elder sibling, Tom Fogerty (b. 9 November 1941, Berkeley, California, USA; acoustic guitar, vocals). As Tom Fogerty AS WELL AS THE Blue Velvets the group started appearing at regional night clubs, playing R&B and rock and roll ‘n’ move favourites. In 1963 they documented an individual, ‘Bonita’, that was released on the neighborhood Orchestra label. The next 12 months the quartet guaranteed a agreement with Fantasy Information who, mindful from the ‘English Invasion’, rechristened them the Golliwogs. In 1967 the music group ditched this name towards Creedence Clearwater Revival.
