From what I heard, this was recorded when they were 'The Golliwogs' and got some airplay. Then included on the first album as CCR. Credence was a childhood friend, Clearwater for the 'new' environmental movement and Revival for the spirituality of the music. Or so they said.

[@jerrysmith543]

Dick Clark asked John Fogerty why, considering the great songs he had written, was Suzy Q the first single CCR released. John said that when they formed the Golliwogs in high school Suzy Q was the first song they learned together. So they decided to make it their first single because they had been playing it longer than anything else.
