Britain had Eric Burdon, America had John Fogerty, and Canada had Burton Cummings, the unmistakable voice of The Guess Who. Cummings' powerhouse pipes became the driving force of the group. As lead singer and principal songwriter with The Guess Who, Burton recorded and wrote/co-wrote hits such as “These Eyes,” “Laughing,” “No Time,” “American Woman,” “Share the Land,” “Hand Me Down World,” “Albert Flasher”, “Star Baby”, “Clap for The Wolfman,” and “No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature”. In the fall of 1975, the band broke up and Burton Cummings moved on to pursue a long-anticipated solo career. As a solo artist, he leaves his mark with the poignant “Stand Tall,” “I’m Scared,” “You Saved My Soul,” and his signature “My Own Way to Rock”. With The Guess Who, Burton earned recognition for the first U.S. platinum album by a Canadian artist and, as a solo artist, the first quadruple platinum Canadian-produced album. Burton is honoured to have received, in total, 80 platinum and gold record awards. Burton Cummings remains at the top of his game as an unrivalled singer, songwriter, showman, and recording artist. Described as Canadian rock ‘n’ roll royalty, a national treasure, and a living legend, for Burton Cummings there has always been one constant: he remains true to himself and his own way to rock as he continues to perform his songs live in concert with his band.
