I always get on my soapbox when I see a reaction to the Guess Who, someone has to explain to me WHY they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, for me it is a complete injustice.
Preach!
Amen!!!!! 🎶🎤🍁
Because the RROF is run by anal ports
Extremely an injustice
it's not a "rock and roll" HOF..it's how can we sell the most tickets and whatever woke garbage is going on at the time. *edit: they should open an entire wing just to Canadian Rockers, Triumph, Helen Redy, The guess who, rush, bryan adams.....
The Guess Who ... also should be in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
Truer words..... 🍁
BTO should be in there too!
They're not??!!😳
Start a new one Grand Funk should be in it also.
@@johnwarner6858 yup
Yes bro, the guess who did the original version of "American Woman" covered by Lenny Kravitz. Also check out No Sugar Tonight/ New Mother Nature.
BTO Live at Roseland Blue Collar!
Like the guess who's version way better then Lenny's any day
And Stand Tall by solo Burton
Lenny tried to ruin American Woman. I'm a fan of Lenny Kravitz, but none of his songs are as good as American Woman or maybe 5 other Guess Who songs.
And Undone
Burton Cummins has one of the most recognizable voices in Rock history…. Great choice!
Freddy Mercury, greatest voice of all time, said if he had to have another voice than his own he would want Burton Cummings. Stand Tall live is absolutely amazing, its when Burton left The Guess Who and released solo material. Highly recommend reviewing that tune next
Omg yes, Stand Tall is a must watch ❤
Yes! Stand Tall is phenomenal!
He still tours.
Freddy Mercury? Greatest voice of all time? Hahahahahaha! That was funny! You must identify as a different thing every day...poor child...
Burton Cummings.....great songwriter, pianist, and singer. So many great songs by this group and by Burton as a soloist.
Yes.. I heard his greatest hits blasting in our home when I was a kid!!! 😊🍁
I assumed they were in the Hall of Fame ,shame their not
@@reneleeper7296 I love 'Stand Tall'!!!
Flutist as well... very talented.
Yes Canadian icons. I saw them live in Toronto in front of 500,000 crazy Canadians and when they did American Woman the crowd went nuts. Robert Plant was asked how it felt to be the best vocalist and he said I don't know ask Burton Cummings ( lead singer The Guess Who) Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️
True!!!!!
Yes, the classic "American Woman" created by Canadians not Lenny Kravitz (although his version is incredible as well )!
@@wjdietrich Agreed .. love Lenny's version as well!!
🍁🙏🍁
1971 at the CNE. And yes, American Woman was amazing!
"Undun" is one of their best / "No Time" "Laughing" "Hand Me Down World" OMG you can't go wrong with The Guess Who.
Burton Cummins voice is another one of those once in a lifetime voices from my generation. We had so many of them. I don't know how that happened, but it did.
Oh amen!
An amazing group!!! The first Canadian rock band to top U.S. charts. From 1969-1974, their hits included: "American Woman", "No Time", "Share The Land", "Hand-Me-Down World", "Undun", "Laughing", "These Eyes", "Albert Flasher", "Star Baby" and "Clap For The Wolfman" (A tribute to DJ Wolfman Jack). UNDUN is a song that warns of the devastation of drugs. And the just as the reality of Undun echoes in your thoughts, you couldn't help but enjoy "Clap For The Wolfman" -- fun lyrics, fun beat, great topic!!! ""Hand-Me-Down World" was real! Enjoy each one and the whole catalog! Keep the "Share The Land" in your heart!
His solo song Stand Tall gives me chills.
Can't watch the reaction tonight, but I popped in to say... I got to see The Guess Who perform live at the Grizzly Rose in Denver-ish in 1997. My boyfriend at the time even met one of the guys from the band at the bar while getting us drinks. Then in the middle of the set the leader singer called out my name and wished me a happy birthday. I was so shocked. Made a good concert even better. Lol
Saw them at the rainbow music hall mid 80’s , so much fun
🇬🇧 If you've ever heard the Iconic song "American Woman", you've heard this band before. Burton Cummings has to have one of the top ten greatest male voices of all time. ❤🎼🎶...Edit
Yes, The Guess Who sang "American Woman" first.
Burton Cummins has a great voice. He also has a solo career. You should listen to Stand Tall!! The Midnight Special was a great show in the 70’s. As teens, we would rush home a few minutes earlier to beat curfew and prepare to be glued to our seats. The Midnight Special started at midnight (imagine that!) and we didn’t want to miss a minute of it!
Yes.. yes.. yes... one of my fave songs of his solo career!!! 😊🍁
Stand Tall should be required listening for all teenagers. Recognize the pain, find resilience!
No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature is my favorite song by The Guess Who
Mine, too!! 🤔😆😆😆😆💃💋😻👵🐺🌵
Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman were the band's creative forces. Cummings more ballad, Bachman more Rock.
Eventually Bachman split, forming Bachman Turner Overdrive. BTO had some seriously good rock songs. Please check them out.
Cummings and Bachman still tour, often together.
They are from my home town of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Neil Young also grew up in Winnipeg and started his first band called The Squires. Bachman Turner Overdrive are also from Winnipeg.
Jeeze, what’s in the water there in Winnipeg, eh? Insane talent coming out of there!
@@manzahalem8845 Also Monty Hall from Let’s Make a Deal, Tony winner and actor on Blue Bloods Len Cariou, and Winnie the Pooh (the real bear that the story is based on) is named after the city of Winnipeg.
ah, Bachman Turner Overdrive Taking Care of Business
I am from Winnipeg as well proud of it
Crash Test Dummies, Chantel Kreviazak, Fred Penner,Al Simmons no lack of talent.
The story behind the name I heard on one of those history of music shows on the radio in the 00s.
Evidently during a lunch hour concert at the height off Beatlemania to promote the band the radio station (CKY58 I want to say) did not name the actual band but just announced them as the guess who? Obviously hoping to convince people that it might be the fab four.
Now I have no idea if it was true,but a great story either way.
Burton Cummings is a remarkable artist and has a very unique sounding voice ❤.
Those of us who were around when this song came out can tell you that if you closed your eyes you would not be able to tell the difference between the recording & this live performance. real talent…
Yes, Absolutely!
You don't hear a song you love for years and remember every word and every note of the music. They're ingrained in our brains, and hearts LOVE THE GUESS WHO❤❤❤❤
Guess Who and Three Dog Night are two early 70's groups that you can chase down the rabbit hole for a long, long time.
Saw 3 Dog Night in concert. Those were the days.
In the 60s all the bands and musicians learned to play live before recording anything most of the time. Now, the recording comes 1st & they can't duplicate it truly live.
Yes, this man can sing!! One of the best voices to come out of Canada!
America Woman before Lenny Kravitz. Amazing
TIL someone other than The Guess Who did that song...
American Woman was a Guess Who original. Lenny Kravitz version was a remake of The Guess Who's original song. ❤.
In the spring & summer of 1983 I was stationed at Ft. Gordon, Ga. I had finished basic training at Ft. Jackson, SC and was at Ft. Gordon for AIT, mine being Radio Teletype Operator. Across the way from my barracks just a not too distant walk away was a place called Barton Field, which was basically just a big open field that I believe was used at one time as a parade field for the different units stationed there. I walked out of my barracks and heard music coming from over at the field, so I started walking that direction. I got to the field and saw a big stage set-up and walked up as close to the stage as I could get. It was then the opening keyboard part to this song started, and It hit me I was looking at Burton Cummins, Randy Bachman and the boys from The Guess Who. They had reformed after a number of years apart and were playing a free show for the troops. Not sure how I wasn't aware the show was gonna happen to this day, but I got to see an hour plus of one of rock's legendary bands, and they were f-cking awesome!!
The Guess Who songs you should check out; No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature (like nothing you've heard before), Clap for the Wolfman, Hand Me Down World...to mention a few
I love how Burton wrote one song, Randy wrote another and when they met up the next day, they were so close to one another they just combined them into one song on the album.
Everything on the Midnight Special was always live.
Agree with you, there are still artists today who don't need autotune and who are great live or even unplugged.
The Midnight Special was "THE show to watch back in the day" ♥♥♥♥♥ Still can't believe my mom let us stay up late to watch...lol
I think it was on Saturday night so that was helpful!! No school the next day. ;-)
Thanks for doing the oldies but goodies!
thank you so much fam!!!!!
If you like this you'll also like Spinning Wheel by Blood, Sweat and Tears. The Midnight Special was a weekly music show that came on at 1a Friday nights. I looked forward to it every week
The Midnight Special was always live, free concert on TV every week!
right?...the quality of the human voice hasn't changed over the last 50 years. The quality of the music has. The songs lended themselves to vocal excellence back in the day. And I think youre point is super valid....we only heard the top talent perform bc you had to be at the top too make it.
Classic song by a great band and an amazing vocalist, Burton Cummings...
That voice, I will never forget the first time I heard those vocals in 1969 and INSTANTLY became hooked. Some "must-listen" suggestions from this artis: Laughing, Undun, No time No Time, American Woman, No Sugar Tonight, Stand Tall, and Hand Me Down World. The Guess Who was a band out of Canada originally........ so many great performers out of Canada (Neil Young, Bryan Adams, Celine Dion, Joni Mitchell, Rush, Nickelback, and The Band are but a few). Burton Cummings is 77 years old and is currently on tour across 2 countries with 23 shows remaining.....SIMPLY AMAZING!
1965 to 1980 was the best music in history
Winnipeg representing
one of my favorite bands. I heard this song right after I heard of my mothers death so it brings tears to my eyes when I listen, but i still love this song.
My favorite group when I was a teenager in the 70’s love the reaction!❤❤❤
LOOOOOVE THEM 70s my fav DECADE of our standing MUSIC, My teen yearz
That was awesome! I haven’t heard that song in years! And yes they did the original American Woman and Lenny just covered it! I love both versions! You should check it out! The Midnight Special was a great TV show wayyyyy before your time😂😂 I need to go to the channel and take a ride down memory lane! Love watching these performances with you! ❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
As noted, Burton Cummings is a Canadian icon. A couple of his individual songs, "Stand Tall" and "Break it to Them Gently". I think you would enjoy both.
Guess Who are icons! They should have been in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame. This is so very awesome. This is true raw talent. Love your reaction!
YES!!! My parents had this album; known this song since I was about 5 years old; so beautiful; makes me teary eyed today ❤ Next Guess Who song if you haven’t already:
AMERICAN WOMAN; it’s a banger!
Back-to-back about breaking up might be too much for some feelers. But how great is this music? Timeless!✌
B,P Please keep them 70s Comming Pleeeeeeeazand React to DEEP PURPLE The Rock bands song Smoke on the water 1972🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥PLAY LIST big time.
I remember watching the Midnight Special with my older sisters, back in the 70s. They did have a lot of great, talented music artists on the show. It came on Friday and Saturday nights at midnight ❤.
Saw the Guess Who in Oct '69 just as this song was moving up the charts.
The venue was a community center with a max capacity of 125 people.
Great night of music.
I love Burton’s mellow voice.This is his my favorite song by The
Guess Who. Go Canada!!🇨🇦 ❤
Burton Cummings is one of the rare talents with absolute perfect pitch. His runs were amazing in so many of his songs.
This great song was written by his former band mate Randy Bachman of BTO fame. Randy recruited Burton when he was only 17 to join the Guess Who with him. Burton rearranged the order of the song as it was originally These Arms.
I hear the pain in this song. His voice is always stellar! His is an unrecognized great voice. ❤
Midnight Special was a once a week televised live concert watched by tens of millions of people. The top music stars on the planet performed for scale just for the Exposure.
I guess nobody's gonna mention that Maestro sampled this in his Stick To Your Vision. From one Canadian legend(s) to another.
Yes, The Guess Who performed American Woman. The song is not about hating on women from America, however.😂 The band is Canadian, and the song is about their disenchantment with America's involvement in the Vietnsm war, as well as societal problems such as inner-city poverty. The "American woman" being referred to is the Statue of Liberty.
I love love Love The Guess Who. Burton Cummins has an amazing voice! Please check out more of them!
Another amazing group that lost their lead singer. Burton Cummings has an amazing voice and is a great pianist. The song American Woman that Lenny Kravitz did? The Guess Who recorded it in the 70s. It is fire!
Not The Guess Who, this is Cummings Solo, with his band in the dark, because you know he never wanted to share the limelight. Now go back and hear The Guess Who from the original group, where all the musicians were first class.
Nope. Randy Bachman is visible in the video.
@@pattyg8464 In the dark, wow infrared glasses?
@@toddstevens13 No, you can see him at 7:53 in the video, and though it’s dark, if you know what he looks like it’s easy to recognize him. Also, the original video from The Midnight Special identifies it as being a Guess Who performance, not Burton solo.
I cannot emphasize enough how thrilled I am to be revisiting all of these great "oldies" and to watch YOU reacting to them. Your appreciation of all of the truly talented and disciplined artists of decades ago is refreshing. So happy to share your journey of "my" music. #oldiebutgoodiehere☺
Midnight special 1975 Billy Joel "Travellin' Prayer" is worth a listen to, Billy outduels a banjo.
Burton won the Playboy Magazine's Male Vocalist of the year back in 1974. If my memory serves, one of the lyrics in the studio version is "You spoke it, and you broke it".
I loved watching the Midnight Special, along with Don Kirshner's Rock Concert back in the 70's.
One of my favorite bands. I had several of their albums. They should definitely be in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame.
Such a classic. The Guess Who have mad bangers Peg. Nice reaction. Great way to start the day off ☘️🇺🇲
This whole album is fantastic
Good Canadian band, love there voices and every thing they did after they broke up.❤
I just watched a live performance of Lenny Kravitz and Prince singing American Woman 🔥🔥
And the original by The Guess Who is 🔥🔥🔥
I have never seen this performance before. Burton seems to be holding back and very restrained here, but wow, so smooth, seemingly never flipping to head voice or falsetto. One of the truly iconic voices in pop history. Instantly recognizable.
Burton Cummings had such a distinctive voice...I loved that band growing up. My parents had their album with this song on it. I could listen to it over and over again.
One of the best and most recognizable voices in Rock and Roll.
Burton Cummings, another of our great Canadian artists and we love The Guess Who!!! ❤ 🇨🇦🍁 'These Eyes' was released in 1969 and had been certified GOLD. He's now 76 yrs old.
The Guess Who have many great tunes, and Yes Mr. Burton Cummings can sing. Sounds like he meant this one. This is a Canadian band!
You are right Black Pegasus; the recordings sound a bit smoother on the ear. Never heard a bad tune from these guys!
Canadians have more talent than the rest of the worlds don't think we do. I'm proud to be Canadian ❤
@@karlweir3198 I love Canada too karlweir but I'm an American cousin so to speak. I've driven around Lake Ontario entering from Jackman I believe. It was before the need for passport. My favorite spot so far is Niagra Falls on your side. Eight hours from my old home. Been there a dozen times in my life and love the Gardens along the gorge far more than the casinos. I think they blemished the area. Maybe they should have put them in Buffalo. Anything would help that mess. My America was cleaner then and people loved the country. Enough about that, I don't want to pop a vein in my head!
Yes, I loved the Guess Who & really loved The Who. They both made some fine music. The Canadian's also built the Ram Military Tank I believe to US Specs. It was a fine tier two machine, and it was quick. Black Pegasus does great reviews for the most part and is insightful. Later....
@@davidjennings1771 that's awesome
Thanks for the reaction! Hope you can check out some of their other big hits:"Undun" and "American Women"
His song called Tell it to them gently always makes me sad...a great song by this singer
“Break It To Them Gently”
The Guess Who were the bomb when I was just a teeny bopper. We probably wore out the record listening to them all day! Glad you found them!
That album was one of my all time favs, amazing a about impossible 2 ever beat!❤
Awesome song thanks again man! Love being a member
Bachman Turner Overdrive, another iconic band, was born of the Guess Who.
Exactly, dont people remember how serious the vows are that they took. It should mean a lot to us,
On the studio version in the chorus he sings in a higher register then ups it even more. Other Guess Who hits-American Woman, No Sugar Tonight, Undun, No time and Clap For The Wolfman.
Midnight Special was recorded live in Los Angeles. We went to a taping during our honeymoon trip. Charlie Daniels broke a string on his fiddle and jammed for at least 20 minutes to get it in tune like he wanted before resuming taping.
When auto tune was a thing of the future far away.
Ain't heard this banger in a minute.. Thanks BP 😀
I've got my own light show going on 😆... Gotta be at least 1000 Fire Flies blinking away over the pasture.
I know this song well, but I've never seen it performed live or otherwise. Very powerful performance!
Burton Cummings has one of my favorite voices in rock and roll.
Amazing band from Winnipeg, Manitoba! These guys were groundbreaking! If you want to see them live, original members, look at the "Running Across Canada Tour". Seriously! You will see them in their later years and still sound like they are playing in the 70's! No doubt, they should have been in the Hall of Fame decades ago!!
Yep they did America Woman....Lenny did a great job covering it.
One of the greatest voices in rock. 😎💕
Love this song and band.💕💕
This is another great professor of rock episode that you should watch on your own. You don’t necessarily need to react to it since you’re doing the song already, but it would be good for you to hear the backstory behind the song and the band and the changes that came up and all the drama
I’m 55. My daddy (rip 2018) was an actual hippie all my life who played music constantly on our stereo. This is one of his favs that I’ve known since the cradle. My daddy called this two stepping music. He and my mom loved dancing and did it often. Wish I’d had a video camera to catch them dancing to this and so many others over the years! This song is pure magic. Never gets old! Great reaction!
LOVE The Guess Who!! Cummings vocals!! SUCH a great BAND!!! ENJOY, BP!!! :) HUGS!
American Woman -The Guess Who
The Midnight Special was so cool, it came on Saturday night at midnight and you could see acts that were normally only seen on tour, way before MTV!
Love The Guess Who❣️
Burton Cummings has one of THE BEST voices. You should check out other songs by the Guess Who and Burton Cummings like Undun, American Woman, Stand Tall. Saw Burton a couple years ago in concert. Still has the voice, he was great, a real entertainer.
Thanks for reacting to The Guess Who. 👏👏🥰
Great reaction, great band! I see lots of suggestions, you won't be disappointed by any of them, but my favourites are "Laughing" and "Undun".
The Guess Who and the vocals of Burton Cummings are amazing. I took my son to his first concert last year and it was Burton Cummings. He’s still got those pipes.
Burton Cummings was one of the best voices of the entire ‘70s. Check out “Undun”, “No Sugar Tonight”, “American Woman” for more amazing vocal performances.
Linda Ronstadt gave of her best performances on the Midnight Special 👏
Saw him twice and he is an excellent singer, songwriter, and piano expert.
Yay! If you need a suggestion for other songs here’s a couple: No sugar tonight/New Mother Nature or American Woman. This is exactly why I love your channel BP, you react to a great variety & don’t stay in “the same lane” or just throwing in what’s popular for clicks like other reactors. For me, that what I enjoy & the majority of your choices I’m very familiar with & happy to see you keeping the music alive & new to some that may be unfamiliar. So thank you for you reacting to outside of you comfort zone. That’s what makes your channel entertaining to me. AND you’re always upfront by letting us all know you’ve heard it or parts of it before. Thanks again, BP!
No sugar tonight is my favorite, you'll ❤ it!😊
No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature is a must hear guy throw it on the platter let's go!!
Gotta be the studio version, tho, for obvious reasons!
Saw Burt Cummings in St. Louis in 1974 in a small venue. He was dressed all in white and had his white piano. My sister and I were in the 5th row. He sang all of his great songs. One of the best concerts I've seen. In the years before that, he played and was friends with Randy Bachman of Bachman Turner Overdrive. They were and are friends and co-wrote a lot of hits together. "She's Come Undone" and "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature" amazing ones, also, and would love your reaction, BP. 🕊💕♥
