John Fogerty turns 75 today. He is the engine room responsible for the success of Creedence Clearwater Revival, the powerhouse rock band with a bunch of hits in the late 60s, early 70s.

The band never went to #1 in the states but had a handful that reached the top on the Australian music charts.

Ryan Rafferty’s band, Proud Mary, is a Perth-based cover band who are currently breaking from live music due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Ryan joins Simon on the Afternoons to talk about Proud Mary, John Fogarty and what it’s like covering some of the great CCR hits.
