The Guess Who

One of Canada's most enduring bands, the Guess Who rose to fame in their homeland in the 1960s and were major international hitmakers in the '70s, starting out as a hard-hitting garage-y combo (as heard on their first hit, "Shakin' All Over") and maturing into a thoughtful rock band who were as comfortable with tough, guitar-based rockers like "American Woman" and heartfelt, melodic numbers like "These Eyes." Though the band found their greatest fame with lead singer and pianist Burton Cummings and guitarist Randy Bachman, through the 1970s they continued to enjoy success after Bachman's departure with 1970's Share the Land and 1972's Rockin'. Cummings quit the group in October 1975, but that was far from the end of the story, as the Guess Who soldiered on despite occasional breakups and frequent personnel changes, and nearly 60 years on, they delivered a new album in 2023, Plein d'Amour.
