As for The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, these Panelists know nothing about Canadian Music. Alot of others should be inducted. New Edition, Boyz To Men, The Whispers, The Carpenters, Olivia Newton-John, Chic & The Marvelettes. They wouldn't even consider Anne Murray as well.

      That depended on so many variables. The studio, scheduling, equipment..... even Ed Sullivan who prided himself on having live performances had to have a few groups lip sync. Many groups preferred to perform live but a lot of times, it simply wasn't possible. American Bandstand's studio through the 1960's wasn't equipped with multitrack recording. "Bandstand" was considered "just a kiddie show" and wasn't allowed a decent budget into the 70's.

      What is surprising is that the CBC didn't wipe the tape to re-use it! The TV Show "Let's Go!" where The Guess Who was the house band had ALL of it's 2" Quad tapes wiped to be re-used. All that exists of Let's Go are some very poor quality B&W 16mm Kinescopes. Luckily though, one producer (who's name escapes me at the moment) had the wherewithal to retain some of the Guess Who's audio tapes that would be used on the show and the band would mime to them. Those surviving tapes were cleaned up and issued on CD a few years back.

      I thought the same thing. Figured that bit was a luck during some take in the studio sessions, then he pulls it off without a thought. In those days, Burton had a cleaner, fuller voice than just about anyone.

    He is the greatest, saw him in Vegas twice in the past few years and still amazing vocals,. when l saw him at the Orleans he was front and center with his piano. He was not surrounded by a band, or cheesy background singers or dancers. Just him with his piano and l loved him. A great talent.

    Awesome live version of one of the best pop songs of all time. The arrangement is simple and to the point, just super. Burton is such a great singer and here is sporting his Morrison hairdo. Actually, he admired Jim Morrison greatly. Got to see Burton solo several years back in Newton, New Jersey at our county music venue. He was still outstanding.

    Been a fan of The Guess Who since my big brother passed all his R&R albums down to me when he found Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Seen all kinds of Bachman/Cummings sets lately, still 20 years old and 20 years after this. Still great music. It hasn't aged because it was so unique when new.
    And yes, Montag Alexis, that was what hit me first. LIVE and Burton staring right down the lens. So young and just polished performers.
