I don't think it's easy to sound like John Fogerty's vocals. He has a very distinct sound and odd pronunciation of words....almost like a fake Southen accent under his California accent. I used to say Kurt Cobain would have sounded good covering Creedence songs.
But CCR was ranked among the TopTen American bands in its heyday, with John Fogerty writing most of the songs and singing all the leads. The band had at least a dozen hits and still gets major rdio airplay with a fair number of those hits.
You'd be bitter and pissed off too if you weren't making a cent off those songs if you're were Fogerty.
That is easily $Millions$ in royalties he never received.
I'd call it a fake southern Louisiana accent. Whatever it's supposed to be, it's worked for him.
He never received those millions in royalties b/c he
voluntarily relinquished his rights to them in order to get out from under his contract. He's never had anyone to blame but himself.
