From CCR to Centerfield: John Fogerty’s 15 greatest songs

Henry Mercer, known for composing songs in films like “Hooray For Hollywood” (1937) and “Moon River” (1961), and for his work with composer Harold Arlen on many jazz standards, helped establish the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1969. John Fogerty was added to the Hall in 2005, and by receiving the Mercer Award, he now joins a distinguished group of songwriters including Steven Sondheim and Paul Simon who have received the Hall’s most prestigious prize.
