No comparison. Creedence were a straightforward RNR band, Hendrix was exploring the possibilities of the guitar, producing a sound nobody had ever heard.
Was Jimi a major singles machine like CCR? No. His music wasn't as universal as theirs.
Talking about popularity, I think Creedence was one of the commercialy most succesful bands at Woodstock (together with The Who and Jefferson Airplane I guess).
