The Quess Who
The Guess who was the first Canadian rock band to have a #1 hit in the U.S. The band started out as (Chad) “Allan and the Silvertones”, then morphed into “Chad Allen & the Expressions”. Later “in an attempt to build a mystique around the record, Quality Records credited the single only to “Guess Who?“.
In 1965, Burton Cummings joined the group to immediate success. Cummings and Randy Bachman became the band’s main writers and went on to many hits including:
- - These Eyes
- - American Woman
- - Wild One
In the early 1970’s, Randy Bachman left the band and formed a band with former Guess Who leader Chad Allen, that would later be known as Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Cummings left the band in 1975 to go solo. In 1978 Cummings released an album destined to become Canada’s biggest hit to date.
