After decades Fogerty finally got his publishing rights back
After decades of struggle, the legendary Creedence Clearwater Revival vocalist and guitarist John Fogerty finally got his publishing rights back. The battle started more than 50 years ago when the band signedd to Fantasy Records that was owned by Saul Zaentz.
After he saw the terms of the deal were unfair he tried for years to get out of the contract. In 1980 he relinquished his royalties to the record executive and didn’t received the money for the use of his songs decades.
1985 he was even sued by Zaentz for “self-plagiarism”, because his solo song “The Old Man Down The Road” had similarities with CCR’s classic track “Run Through The Jungle”. Fogerty won that case in court.
Now, in 2023 the musician announced that he bought back the rights to his own songs.
