Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Fortunate Son,” released in September 1969, critiques class privilege and became an anthem during the Vietnam War era. Written by John Fogerty, the song expresses opposition to U.S. military involvement. In 2018, an official music video directed by Ben Fee was released to commemorate the band’s 50th anniversary, featuring diverse American scenes that highlight the song’s enduring relevance. The track remains a significant cultural touchstone, symbolizing anti-war sentiments and the fight against social inequality.
