The founding member of Creedence Clearwater Revival has fought for the copyrights over five decades.
Mr Fogerty owns the rights to his solo material, but his new majority interest gives him control - for the first time - over 65 Creedence Clearwater Revival copyrights, including hits like Bad Moon Rising, Have You Ever Seen The Rain, Proud Mary and Fortunate Son.
The California-born quartet notched nine top-10 singles and five top-10 albums on the Billboard charts, reportedly even besting the Beatles in album sales in the year 1969.But decades of its frontman's life have been dominated by the protracted dispute that began after late music mogul Saul Zaentz signed a teenage Mr Fogerty and his group to his Fantasy Records label in the mid-1960s.
The label was sold to Concord in 2004, which quickly reinstated - and increased - the royalties Mr Fogerty had not received in some 25 years.
