John Fogerty has been in the music business for a very long time. He’s had success as a solo artist and as the lead singer of Creedence Clearwater Revival. John’s unmistakable voice made songs like Proud Mary, Have You Ever Seen the Rain, Fortunate Son, Centerfield, and Rock and Roll Girls hits. John Fogerty recently told People that Taylor Swift inspired him to make a big step in his music career. He never thought about rerecording his songs until the Love Story singer did.
“I was very inspired by her. I was glad for Taylor. I didn’t think that I would be doing something like that,” John said. “But I watched her do her version because she couldn’t purchase her masters even though she had certainly the bank account to be able to do it, and it was sort of evilly taken away from her.”
John Fogerty is Grateful to Taylor Swift for Being a Pioneer
“She did a remarkable thing, and the more remarkable thing was that her fans understood that and started buying Taylor’s version and not the evil corporate version, you know?”
John Fogerty said Taylor Swift’s fans really impressed him. He watched them fight for her and for what was right, which made him want to do the same. John explained that Taylor Swift and her fans made a statement to the record industry. The fans wanted Taylor to have what she rightfully created, and by purchasing her new records, they helped her get it all back.
“And that part really inspired me, and I think that was a big boost in me going ahead and rerecording some of the songs from my past kind of for the same reasons,” John said.
