Burton Cummings of The Guess Who

With The Guess Who, Cummings achieved a long list of firsts including the first Canadian group to reach #1 on the Billboard charts—holding that spot for three weeks—and the first to earn a platinum album for U.S. sales of more than one million copies. Rolling Stone magazine hailed The Guess Who as “one of rock’s most consistently fascinating maverick bands” with a succession of songs “that has few equals among contemporary North American groups.” Dick Clark described the group as rock innovators and ambassadors of Canadian music.

After The Guess Who disbanded in 1975, Burton Cummings embarked on a remarkable solo career, solidifying his status as an extraordinary singer, songwriter, showman, and recording artist. As the first artist to be certified triple-platinum in Canada, Cummings set a high standard for musical excellence. Fresh off the release of his new album A Few Good Moments, Cummings continues to tour with his band, captivating audiences with live performances of his timeless songs.

Widely regarded as Canadian rock ‘n’ roll royalty, a national treasure, and a living legend, Cummings remains true to himself and his own way to rock — a constant that has defined his illustrious career.
