John Fogerty To Receive Johnny Mercer Award at Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Gala

The Songwriters Hall of Fame has announced that John Fogerty will be the 2026 recipient of the esteemed Johnny Mercer Award.

Fogerty will be presented with the award at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Gala, to be held at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City on June 11.

The Johnny Mercer Award, the highest honor bestowed by the Songwriters Hall of Fame, is exclusively reserved for a songwriter or songwriting team who has already been inducted in a prior year and whose body of work is of such high quality and impact that it upholds the gold standard set by the legendary Johnny Mercer. Fogerty was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2005.

Fogerty wrote and recorded some of the most enduring songs in American popular music. As the songwriter, singer, lead guitarist, arranger, and producer for Creedence Clearwater Revival, three of his songs – “Fortunate Son,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain” – have each surpassed one billion streams, placing Fogerty in Spotify‘s Billions Club
