Creedence Clearwater Revival's John Fogerty wins music rights [View all]

Following a 50-year legal battle, the founding member of Creedence Clearwater Revival now owns the global publishing rights to the iconic rock band's songs.

It came after Mr Fogerty, 77, bought a majority stake in the rights to the band's catalogue from Concord Records, which has owned the rights since 2004.

"As of January this year, I own my own songs again," he wrote on Twitter.

"This is something I thought would never be a possibility. After 50 years, I am finally reunited with my songs."

Congrats to John Fogerty! This happens all too often to song writers and musicians and is not fair. CCR is one of my favorite bands and Fogerty a favorite singer.
