Creedance Clearwater Revival
The band was originally called the Golliwogs, but no one in the band actually liked it. When Saul Zaentz purchased Fantasy Records in 1967, he offered them a chance to record a full-length album but only if they changed their name. They came up with the name from 3 different places: Tom Fogerty’s friend Credence Newball, ‘clear water’ from a commercial for Olympia Beer, and revival which spoke to their new commitment to their band.
