Dieter Stutz on bass. Dieter grew up on Hendrix, Joplin, Cream, Rolling Stones, Beatles and Johnny Winter. He joined the first of many school bands when he was 14, playing bass because all the other instruments where taken. After emigrating from Zürich to Cape Town in 1980 he played in various cover bands before meeting the late, great guitarist John Mair in 1981. They formed the successful “Sweatband” with Les Cook on drums and Wendy Oldfield on Vocals. In 1984 “Sweatband” turned pro and toured South Africa non-stop until 1990. During this time they recorded two albums, had many TV appearances and two major hits on the Radio 5 charts. Since then, Dieter has worked with “Kevin Abraham & The Kick”, “SE7EN”, Rolling Stones tribute band “Sticky Fingers”, “Greg & The Comeback Kings” (performing and recording an original album.), “The Sunshines”.

In 1968, Creedence Clearwater Revival exploded onto the scene with their self-titled debut album, unleashing a raw, electrifying sound that cut through the haze of San Francisco’s psychedelic era.
Hailing from El Cerrito in the Bay Area, brothers John and Tom Fogerty, drummer Doug Clifford, and bassist Stu Cook weren’t chasing trends—they were creating something timeless. With gritty guitar riffs and a soul steeped in blues, country, rockabilly, gospel, folk, and R&B, CCR carved their own path, channeling the heart of American music into every track.
This was the birth of a rock & roll powerhouse whose legacy of timeless, genre bending music continues to gain audiences around the world.
By 1970, the biggest band on earth was no longer The Beatles, but CCR.
Creedence had significant popularity in South Africa, with the band's single "Proud Mary" reaching the number 1 on the charts here.
The band's music, particularly their major hits, became a staple and achieved high chart success in the country, mirroring their international popularity at the time. The band's success in South Africa indicates their music resonated widely, just as it did in the UK, Australia, and Germany.
While their chart-topping days are past, their music remains a part of classic rock culture globally and maintains a presence on radio and streaming platforms in South Africa as well.
The band came and left as a comet. From mid-1968 to mid-1972 they dropped 7 studio albums and that was it.
In a little more than 2 years, they smashed the Top 10 singles chart 9 times too.
The CCR phenomenon wasn’t only true in the US, but also in Canada, Australia, France, Germany, UK, Sweden, Finland, among others. They were huge everywhere from Latin America to Asia to Russia to Zimbabwe.
