Wow .... I wouldn't have guessed CCR songs never reached #1 but per wikipedia it's true .... 5 reached #2 but none made it to the top! (Not that I doubted you but, stunning that the creators of Fortunate Son, Proud Mary, Born on the Bayou, and so many other greats (and Stanford band fodder) didn't reach that milestone!)
In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
