How To Sing Like John Fogerty - Creedence Clearwater Revival - Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
Have any of you singers out there tried to sing a John Fogerty tune?
If so I'd like to hear about your experience so be sure to share in the comments.
Known as one of the original belters, John sings pretty high and generally is at the top of his range, but there's a trick to belting without having to be at your threshold.
If you're you interested in increasing your singing range while still being able to get that kind of distortion, I'll give you some tips here as I demonstrate it for you myself.

He really can sing, and he does it live and that's the deal: he does it effortlessly...

[@kentamplin]

Absolutely, Janio!

[@t4texastom587]

From '69 thru '71, Creedence Clearwater Revival was the world's Number One rock band, and besides Elvis Presley......John Fogerty had the most recognized voice in rocknroll 🎸

[@michaelpuder1749]

Sadly his voice has changed and he sounds terrible now.

[@alanwoodwind5265]

​@@michaelpuder1749happened when he started shilling for the government. Karma

[@michaellorah9051]

Not only does Fogerty sing really well live, he does it while playing a combination of rhythm and lead guitar. Its part of why he amazes me every time i see him play.

[@athbhreith7391]

Absolutely. I had to google him to make sure he was actually in his late 70’s when I saw him this year. He moves so well and sounds so good the “played at Woodstock” math doesn’t add up.

[@thesummerland6165]

I'm a punk rock, alternative, hard rock person but absolutely LOVE fogerty's voice and tunes..talent, and so unique sounding

[@Arthineas]

Great breakdown of John's singing style. I would love you to cover or do a how to sing like Roy Orbison. He had such an amazing voice.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for the suggestion, Kevin!

[@stevedotwood]

It's not just belting. his voice is very colorful. Lots of emotion in there. Any of his ballads (Someday Never Comes) or (Hideaway) are proof of that. But even his heavier rock songs. It's hard to replicate that.

[@ahardcorejedi2968]

Btw Ken, I love the way you watch yourself, very articulate and shows volumes of the strength of your developed cords. You never quit on the doorsteps of perfection and it shows. Without you I would have never found my voice, and honestly I did it all for free and again-this speaks volumes. You gave me enough content and training throughout the years to help me find confidence-not being so shy while I sing ( which is odd, I'm a Leo and love attention, but know my limitations thus far.) Voice acting ignited my way as it taught me to control my voice and the more I do both sing and voices they get better. You're not just a vocal coach, your a life teacher. You cherish the same values I do in life, and throughout life I've found happiness on almost any avenue.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for the visit!!

[@darkshadowii4765]

Fogerty was a radio staple in the 80s. Center Field, Man Down The Road... he had a bunch. Great video, Ken.

[@kentamplin]

Absolutely! Thanks for listening!

[@Devalis]

I love listening to John sing (Wish I Could) Hideaway. So much soul in that song and he just pummels those high notes.

[@VIDEOHEREBOB]

Ken, I like that you started mentioning just how difficult it can be singing comparably to some of these singers. Oh, how I can relate as I age. Some of these vocal teachers can't even conceptualize what it can take.

[@kentamplin]

VIDEOHEREBOB 👍

[@PumpkinSpicePretzels]

A lot of their singing was natural or based on some sort of natural structure they had, in their vocal chords or whatever, but also, it wasn't unusual for a lot of these gruff loud rock'n'roll singers in the '50s and '60s, and I think culture back then just allowed a lot more energy to be fleshed out, there was a lot less self-consciousness.

[@makeyourself1988]

There is a John Travolta movie called “Michael” and in that movie they play a bit of ‘Up Around The Bend’ and that is how I got into Creedence Clearwater Revival. Since then, I’ve got obsessed in all their albums and I just love them.

[@kentamplin]

Cool, Mark!

[@randomdoodles]

Not heard many people do John Doherty justice... That's awesome

[@kentamplin]

Thanks, Kenneth!

[@Deliquescentinsight]

John Fogerty is almost unique, I have rarely heard such a fantastic and practical analysis. Really great work Ken. I wish i lived in the states, love to play with you sometime. *Update 2023* I just rewatched this, have to say Ken you are right on the money here, I have always puzzled how John could sustain this type of singing.

[@kentamplin]

Michael Gorman 👍

[@RedneckPunk]

Good analysis Ken..I think John Fogerty never received the props he deserved as a guitarist or a song writer..

[@kentamplin]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Steve!

[@kentherapy7022]

Let me tell you a short story from the last performance. Garden restaurant, 10 - 15 guests. I played and sang for about 90 minutes. World hits like "Still Loving You" ... "Wind of Change" ... Fogerthy - "Seen the Rain" and 11 other world famous songs. No one has applauded me all this time. Not a single round of applause. No one. Such a thing happened to me for the first time. I left the stage a little sad. Hey, musician! Come here! You have something here. The innkeeper called me. And the innkeeper gives me money. What? I wonder. For what? After all, no one even applauded! I don't deserve money. It's not money from me, explains the pub. This is money from one of the guests. And he handed me $ 50. (equivalent to $ 50 in our currency) Strange story. Excuse my weak english...☮

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for sharing, Ken! That's awesome!

[@craigusselman546]

John has such a pure badass voice.

[@senselessmonkee]

I just watch CCRs performance at Albert Hall 1970. Fogerty was excellent belting song after song and playing the fancy riffs in between verses. How did he get just the right amount of raspiness to boot?

[@jensoldemester2746]

Travellin' Band is one of my all time favourite songs.What a scream! Well done,Ken! Awesome.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks, Jens!

[@mrgargamel9276]

You sound great but John's a legend:) His raocous voice, i always pictured him standing on a mountain and screaming when recording his records lol. Maybe his technique wasnt the best for vocal health but he sure sounded great and for me has the most unique and recognisable voice in the world!

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for weighing in, MrGargamel!

[@KyOte13]

Technique is good enough that he is still out there at 70, hitting the notes

[@TheVinylBeatles]

Having a tenor vocal range is a great help ;)

[@ferinstance01]

When you said Deo technic, I was thinking Sammy Haggar. You sounded just like him.

[@jeffyoungblood4978]

Saw them live Santa Cruz, Ca. 1968. I'm that old and that fortunate.

[@kentamplin]

Awesome!!!

[@summermcpherson8209]

Jeff Youngblood sounds like fun! I'm a huge CCR fan! What was your favorite song they sang?

[@barthaus1]

Some could say you were a fortune son!

[@kentherapy7022]

Oh yes, my recommendation was heard! The epic sound of the church bell is there! Thanks....😊

[@kentamplin]

My pleasure, Ken!

[@scottfrommaryland7658]

John is 75 and still singing strong.

[@kentamplin]

Indeed!

[@jkronen1000]

I love John Fogerty - saw him several times - last year in Vancouver - love your teaching 💖💖💖💖💖

[@kentamplin]

Awesome, Janice!

[@donsavignano4396]

I see what your talking about fogerty singing plus he's playing guitar too. A double whammy.

[@CarefulWithThatAxeEugene]

CCR....one of my favorite bands of all time, right up there with Pink Floyd. 🖤💙🖤 Joy of My Life is a good one he done when he went solo. Job well done Ken. You never cease to amaze me! That's a hard act to follow.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks so much, Mad Hatter! Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🥧

[@Tractorman-xj4gt]

Sir Ken of Tamplin - you are like the Duracell battery - superior quality, dependability, and decades of great singing - another great job !!!

[@kentamplin]

Wow, thank you!

[@afrost8516]

Oh boy, wish I could afford your course, I've watched almost all your vids and made an actual tape with as many exercises from your vids as possible. Thank you Ken. I hope I will sing as well as you do one day. ♥️

[@kentamplin]

That's great, Jackie!

[@neverenoughcowbell809]

Its actually really cool to see Ken sit there was his arms crossed watching himself. A proud moment as it should be. Awesome job man!

[@kentamplin]

Thank you, Never Enough Cowbell!

[@robbchastain3036]

Thanks, Ken, and the proof is in the telling, too, thanks for explaining all these vocal styles and how they're achieved. And I was a kid back then, but Creedence was memorable, I clearly recall their hits like Suzie Q on San Francisco radio stations. And they were actors, too, or so it seems. I actually thought they were from the bayou or someplace swampy like that.

[@kentamplin]

Thanks for watching, Robb!

[@nikolaiplotnikov7243]

The other original belters of course were Burton Cummings of the Guess who, Terry Reid and Rod Stewart.

[@indycustommade3568]

You make John sound great. I believe this is one of the best sounding covers you have done. Awesome job.

[@kentamplin]

Wow, thank you, Indy Custom Made!

[@AlecsandroAmaro]

John Fogerty,......what to say ? HE ROCKS !!!!! Thanks Ken for bringing this analysis for us !

[@kentamplin]

Totally my pleasure, Alecsandro!

[@floreamihai3852]

This is a very cool breakdown especially because this is how i tend to belt. I love your videos and your channel it is a neverending source of knowledge and and entertainment! Rock on Ken and God bless! :)

[@kentamplin]

Glad you like them, Florea!

[@armymomheatherc]

IM SMILING RIGHT NOW. Great video. I am subbed to Johns channel.He and his family are wonderful. John is not only talented,but a good dude. You can see the love of his music and his family shine through when he speaks and sings. You like to see that as a fan. I see that with you as well Ken.

[@kentamplin]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it, ArmyMomHeatherC!

[@kentbeery4941]

[@kentamplin]

Thank you so much, 007!

[@cynpalmer60]

Your Fogerty covers are awesome & some of my favorite covers you have done.❤I would like to suggest Who'll Stop The Rain and/or Green River. I think your versions would be stellar!😁

[@kentamplin]

Great suggestion!

[@sploogeanzyo8090]

Hey ken I know you love distortion and it is healthy when done correctly, but is fry also a healthy technique?

[@kentamplin]

Check this video out, Sploogeanz Yo! kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4vFqXShZqZ4bKc

[@linda_guitar8869]

Great video / lesson! And Love the way you nailed the scream in Travelin' Band! I teach (guitar, keys, vocals) at a couple of School of Rock schools. I may direct some of our teen students to your videos, to supplement their lessons at the school! I also play guitar in a CCR tribute band, and it was our lead singer who posted this link to your video. Rock on!

[@kentamplin]

Very cool, Linda_Guitar!

[@iamanovercomer3253]

Wow, Humble Pie ❗ It has a long time of hearing about them. Had a few of their albums. And of course you hit it 👍.... with the song

[@kentamplin]

Thanks, I AM AN OVERCOMER!

[@terjeweum3677]

20 days inthe hole / Ace Frehley had Steve sing that song on his last Origins Album I guess / Still got it 😎Look it up it could be a now and then vokal on Steve😎

[@johnbevilacqua6751]

Hi Ken, as you were going through the list of "Belters" I notice you did not mention the great Jimmy Barnes!

[@philliploel6292]

I love your videos! I would love to see a “what makes this singer great” on Michael Sweet and Jack Russell. Also, maybe some isolated vocal tracks from these guys. Thanks Ken!

[@kentamplin]

Great suggestion!

[@WillysPoorBoys]

At 4:55: Looking out my back porch??? 😂But at KTVA the proof really is in the singing as you can see and hear in this video.

[@Ibaneddie76]

Great job Ken, is there a way to rehab someone's voice who wrecked it through years of horrible technique and smoking?

[@kentamplin]

Nice one Ken! Does your basic course teach distortion and grit techniques or is that in the bigger bundles? You should also sell those trippy, cool shirts that you wear. Pretty sweet.

[@kentamplin]

Distortion and grit is covered in Volume 3 of the basic course.

I had a lot of friends who lived what he sang Vieatnam was no joke and john was right out there with how and who we the people were... love this band CCR.... BUT BUT DID he use and efx pedales for his voice and if not what would you subjest for a efx pedal on any ones voice thank you great voice man

[@otis421]

hey ken, great video again... im a rock and pop singer and took my first vocal leassons. My vocal coach is a classical singer but sayed he can teach me how to sing rock and pop. Is it possible? what do you think about that?

[@kentamplin]

Hey Paul, I don't know who your vocal coach is, so I don't have the answer for you, but I always say find a vocal coach who can demonstrate what they are teaching you.

[@JudieBoBoodie]

That was a cool and informative explanation and example I kept waiting for that scream... and you delivered! LOL

[@pascaljeanne6520]

and lol john did it naturally , like he was in his bedroom ! ah sh...you are mad american guys !

[@jordanpearce8079]

This was great! I love John’s voice and this was awesome. Would you do one of C.F.(Fred) Turner from Bachman Turner Overdrive? He’s another belter. Just listen to Not Fragile, Roll on Down the Highway, Let it Ride and many others. Randy also sings lead, but Fred really belts it

[@kentamplin]

Great suggestion! Thanks, Jordan!

[@jordanpearce8079]

You’re welcome! As a Canadian BTO is my favourite rock band. The Guess Who are a close second, but BTO has a heavier sound than the Guess Who overall.

[@pammie1774]

Ken, a few I've thought of: Jeff Soto, the cover band Night Train (GNR), the cover band for Journey,.......brain freeze.........the guy who sang after Steve Perry left Journey.......curly or permed hair....after Jeff Soto, before Arnel. (sorry). Can't think. Think you may have done JS.......don't know if you do cover/tribute bands. The one for GNR is going to kill his voice!!! :O
