"Travelin' Band" is very similar in style to the music of Little Richard, which Fogerty saw as a heartfelt tribute to the singer. Specialty Records, which owned Richard's catalog, saw things differently and sued the band, reaching a settlement to earn some royalties from the song.

The lawsuit claimed the Little Richard's "Good Golly Miss Molly" was being copied, but Creedence bass player Stu Cook said he thought it sounded more like "Long Tall Sally." Cook described the song as a combination of '50s Rock classics, but not a ripoff of any one song.


Hope they didn't get much money

Yea, I had heard they had to only pay out about 8,000.00. That was really split up to the point that Richard didn't end up receiving much.

Hell, every Little Richard song sounded like every other song he did to begin with.
