The album comes after Fogerty won a long-fought battle to regain the rights to his songs from his years with Creedence Clearwater Revival. In an interview for The Billboard Book of Number One Albums, Fogerty spoke about the decades-long battle to retain the rights to the CCR catalog.
'It did a lot of damage to my psyche and personality as far as confidence,' he said. 'There were times in those years when I was scared to go in and buy a pair of socks in a department store.'Although the album isn't out until Aug. 22, Fogerty is previewing the 20-song set for fans by releasing newly recorded versions of the CCR classics 'Up Around the Bend,' 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain' and 'Porterville' to all streaming services on May 29. The album is also being released as a two-record set on black and colored vinyl.
'For most of my life I did not own the songs I had written,' Fogerty said in a statement. 'Getting them back changes everything. Legacy is my way of celebrating that—of playing these songs on my terms, with the people I love.'
'I knew first hand how much it meant for John to get his publishing back. It has been so joyful and beautiful since this happened for him. This is a celebration of his life's work. It is the biggest party for the good guy/artist winning,' Julie Fogerty added in a statement.
Here's the full tracklist for Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival:1. Up Around the Bend2. Who'll Stop the Rain3. Proud Mary4. Have You Ever Seen the Rain 5. Lookin' Out My Back Door 6.

Legendary '80s New Wave Band Makes Major Announcement and Fans Are Flipping Out
Legendary '80s New Wave Band Makes Major Announcement and Fans Are Flipping Out originally appeared on Parade. There are few songs that define the sound and feel of the 1980s as perfectly as "The Safety Dance." That's why the unforgettable Men Without Hats tune has been used in so many '80s-themed movies and TV shows — and it's also why fans freaked out when the band made an unexpected announcement this week. In a stitch shared on Monday, June 2, lead singer Ivan Doroschuk, 67, responded to a video of TikTok user Doug Shybee lip-syncing to "The Safety Dance" with a plant on his head. "Doug, it's Ivan from Men Without Hats," Doroschuk said, adding, "and I'm glad I joined TikTok just in time to see this video. Follow our account for new music coming soon." Fans in the comments couldn't get over the unexpected announcement. "Oh shnap!! I was just jamming out to 'Pop goes the world'!! Love you guys. Keep on keeping on," gushed one person. "EEEEEKKKKK! YAY!! One of the greatest songs of the 80s," added a second commenter, with another agreeing, "Safety Dance is my good mood song. Always makes me smile plus I LOVE the music video!" "Yes Yes Yes Please! New music, old music, bring it on! You've found your people, the most loyal generation of music freaks!" raved yet another fan. In an interview with WIVB News last fall, Doroschuk opened up about the origins of "The Safety Dance," explaining why and how the chart-topping tune appealed to so many different types of people. 'There was no real dance, it was just the 'S' movement,' he said, adding, 'That was available to anybody. There was no dress code, there was no dance move, it sort of appealed right across the board, which is why we still have fans who like punk rock, who like jazz, who like all kinds of music. They kind of come together with 'Safety Dance.'' Decades later, listeners are still falling in love with the song. 'You could dress how you want to, you could dance how you want to, you could dance if you want to and it didn't really matter and it was easy. So I think that's what gave it the lasting power," Doroschuk '80s New Wave Band Makes Major Announcement and Fans Are Flipping Out first appeared on Parade on Jun 3, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.
