Overview: What Makes This Song Great

CCR Fortunate Son

CCR Fortunate Son

There have been several songs that emerged from the Vietnam era in America that, although written for that particular moment, have lived on in the social consciousness and are still a part of our culture today. One of the most recognizable songs from this era was originally written to talk about the marriage of Julie Nixon to David Eisenhower and how their generation felt about the war as compared to their famous parents’ generation. That song was “Fortunate Son,” penned by John Fogarty and recorded on the CCR album “Willie and the Poor Boys.”

Besides being associated with the Vietnam war and the protests that went along with it, in recent years the “Fortunate Son” has resurfaced as an example of how the music business can go wrong for so many artists. Having naively signed away all of the rights to his early recordings to Fantasy Records, a move that would cost the singer-guitarist countless millions in royalties over the years, the record company began selling this, and other CCR tracks, to advertising agencies to be used in commercials.

One day the L.A. Times interviewed Fogarty to ask him about the new Wrangler ad that used “Fortunate Son” as the soundtrack, he explained how he no longer had control over his own music and though he didn’t want the song being used to sell jeans, he had no say in the matter. As a show of good faith, Wrangler cut the ad, but Fogarty still has no control over what Fantasy does with his music. Lesson learned, always have a lawyer read and reread a record deal before putting pen to paper.
