The Guess Who started out as a local Winnipeg band more than 40 years ago and grew into one of rock’s most celebrated groups, thrilling audiences of all generations. The band’s debut single (“Tribute To Buddy Holly”)was released on Canadian-American records in 1962. A follow-up song – “Shakin’ All Over” – met with major success in Canada. The group that would change the face of North American rock n’ roll was born.
Moving away from Mersey beat-inspired rock to a sound that mixed rock, blues and jazz. The 1969 ballad “These Eyes” was the group’s first Top 10 US hit for their new record. By the beginning of the 1970s, they took on an edgier hard-rock sound with the album American Woman, the title track for which, “American Woman” (coupled with its B-side “No Sugar Tonight”) was a No. 1 hit in the U.S. “American Woman” earned the band the honor of being the first Canadian band to have a No. 1 hit on the American charts.
