&quot;In 1988, Fantasy Records, the company that owned the rights to Fogerty’s CCR classics, sued Fogerty for releasing a song that — get this — sounded too similar to one of Fogerty’s earlier CCR songs.&quot;<p>&quot;Sounding like&quot; in the title makes it seems he was sued for having the same voice (as himself) but is more like he wrote a song that was very similar to one that has already been written.<p>He would not have been able to sell his songs for as much if he can then just create a song that is nearly the same afterwards. Hardly as outrageous as the title implies.
