===Vision and the Golliwogs (1964–1967)===
For the band's first release, Fantasy co-owner Max Weiss renamed the group the Golliwogs (after the children's literary character [[Golliwog]]). Prior to the Golliwog name, Weiss had renamed them Vision. Band members' roles changed during this period; Cook switched from piano to bass guitar and Tom Fogerty from lead vocals to rhythm guitar; John became the band's lead vocalist and primary songwriter. In Tom's words: "I could sing, but John had a sound!"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.spinner.com/2010/05/14/john-fogerty-creedence-clearwater-revival/ |last=Sullivan |first=James |title=John Fogerty Sued for Plagiarizing ...

Both sides of each of the group's first six singles (issued between 1964 and 1966) were credited to the writing team of Wild/Green.  

In 1966, John Fogerty and Doug Clifford were [[Conscription in the United States|drafted into the U.S. armed forces]]; Fogerty joined the [[United States Army Reserve|U.S. Army Reserve]], while Clifford joined the [[United States Coast Guard Reserve|U.S. Coast Guard Reserve]]. Speaking of his experience in the [[US Army]], Fogerty has said: "I would become delirious and go into a trance. And I started narrating this story to myself, which was the song '[[Creedence Clearwater Revival (album)|Porterville]]'."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Lynskey |first1=Dorian |title=John Fogerty: 'I had rules.

By 1967, he was [[Record producer|producing]] the group's recordings, although without credit. The group's final single, "Porterville", failed to chart (like every other Golliwogs recording), but the exact same recording was very shortly thereafter issued as a track by Creedence Clearwater Revival on that group's first album.
