The band started out as The Blue Velvets, formed by Tom Fogerty in El Cerrito, California in the late 1950s. By the mid 1960s, the band signed a record contract, had their name changed to "The Golliwogs" (an apparent reference to a once-popular minstrel doll called a Golliwogg) by record company executives, and released a few obscure singles that failed to get noticed. Eventually Tom's younger brother, John Fogerty, took control of the group, writing all of their material and singing lead vocals. The band's first album as Creedence Clearwater Revival was released in 1968.
