Tom Fogerty began playing rock and roll in high school, just as John Fogerty did. Rock and roll (also known as rock 'n' roll) is a form of Music that evolved in the United States in the late 1940s and early 1950s with roots in mostly African High school is the name used in some parts of the world (in particular Scotland, North America and Australia) to describe an institution He and his brother had separate groups.

After the band broke up, Fogerty began performing and recording solo. In Music, a solo (from the Italian solo, meaning alone) is a piece or a section of a piece played or sung by a single performer Although John played several guitar parts on Tom's solo albums, they remained estranged. Tom was bitter at having his contributions overlooked. In the pre-CCR days, Tom had been singer, songwriter, and, generally, manager of the act. Tom Fogerty had minor hits like "Goodbye Media Man" and "Joyful Resurrection". " Goodbye Media Man " is a song by former Creedence Clearwater Revival member Tom Fogerty, from his 1971 self-titled debut solo album released

Throughout the rest of the 1970s and 1980s, Fogerty continued to record, and all former members of Creedence Clearwater Revival grew increasingly resentful of and angry towards John Fogerty. He claimed all royalties and sued Fantasy Records; when Tom re-signed with Fantasy (effectively releasing an obligor--Fantasy Records, the deepest pocket--of joint liability and waiver of damages to his brother, an obligee), Fogerty lived comfortably in Scottsdale, Arizona for the remainder of his life, thanks to his Creedence royalties. He was an occasional surprise call-in guest on local radio station KSLX-FM. KSLX is a Classic rock station serving the Phoenix area The Sandusky outlet broadcasts at 100
