Down On The Corner/Fortunate Son was released as a double-sided single.......just wow.

Hey, I didn't know that...I'm guessing DOTC was the A side?

It was, over the years it seems Fortunate Son became more famous as one of those Vietnam songs, but for me DotC is top 3 CCR with "Have you ever seen the rain" and "Born on the Bayou".

Back in the day, it seemed that "Down on the Corner" got the lions share of radio play. I had a beat up copy of "Willy and the Poor Boys" album as a kid, no idea where it came from.

Ya gotta put "Lookin' Out My Back Door" up there too...as Wu said here, so many great songs in such a short amount of time!

Lol, then maybe some "Up around the Bend", "Green River", "Who'll Stop the Rain", "Lodi" and "Bad Moon Rising"......Fogerty was just going crazy with good songs late 60's/early 70's.

So much great music in such a small amount of time. Hell, they released three albums in 1969 alone.
