John Fogerty: The Old Man is Down the Road (1985)

John Fogerty scored a top 10 hit in 1985 with “The Old Man Down the Road.” Later, Fantasy Records sued Fogerty for plagiarizing himself.  Saul Zaentz owned the rights to Creedence Clearwater Revivals “Run Through the Jungle” and argued “The Old Man Down the Road” had the same chorus. Fogerty wrote both songs and won the suit. He later sued Fantasy and was awarded attorney’s fees.
