Burton Cummings - Take One Away

[tornadomanatwork]

love this song sounds like a guess who song with randy on guitar

[crazypainter56]

Another great song by Burton---!!!

[uselessjoe]

the deep message in this is felt more in the solo slowed-down version.

[dorvalguy]

Note to Jonnecron: Burton has been married to Cheryl DeLuca for more than 27 years... not that there's anything wrong with that hehe

[NYI8911]

him and Randy Bachman played in ma town last night, i missed it though, cud kinda hear it from ma house though

[MsDsweets]

Pride of Canada!

[joeyd1957]

Youuuuuuuuuuuuu Bet !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sircornflakes]

Burton, we love you.....always have.......always will!

[johnnecron]

I dont think Burton has ever married.

hhmmmm

[17865329]

@johnnecron Well you'd be wrong, he was married to some record company girl for double digit years, a decade at least. hmmm, you might be an idiot.

[jzeerod]

i bought the CD or tape i dont recall it was soooooo longo

[SPAZZOBOXER]

Like many all time great,melancholy saturated songs,this one touches individual listeners in emotionally charged,highly personalized ways. An important characteristic of any Art Form that purports to truly connect with an audience. Knowing the exact details/meaning/storyline/circ­umstances of 'Take One Away" is secondary to the powerful, broad overall message that

undeniably moves most listeners. An exceptionally inspired/ gripping trk. from Burton that penetrates to the core of your humanity.

[ellenlvx]

Often more deeply than expected

[someluvblues]

looks like me n you like a lot of similar......

is he canadian?

[ShellTrek]

I didn't like this song initially! But oddly enough: After listening to it a few times... "I get it!" ... Plus enjoy it!

[midlynn]

Gawd, if I wasn't so happily married, I might have stalked this man, he's so incredibly good looking and the VOICE!! Thank gawd for my husband! LOL!

[69Lovett]

midlynn,

BC's new Cd " Above the Ground" will be available Nov 4

I've just added a link (in box right of video), check it out..!!

[midlynn]

hubby bought the Above the Ground cd for me for Xmas. It's awesome!! And it has a DVD of him in the making of it. I love it! The man is phenomenal!! He's 62 and still has it all!! I LOVE him!!!

[midlynn]

OMG 69Lovett, you have made my day!! Can't wait to get it! Thank you so much!!!

[midlynn]

torontodave, I agree, that cd is one of his best! The sound quality on the cd isn't that great, but the singing by Burton is his best.

[Crossbow0106]

Burton is my favorite singer. I haven't seen him much since he doesn't come to New York much but the times I've seen him in Canada, with or without Randy, were amazing. A few years ago I went to Toronto and saw Bachman/Cummings at the Molson Ampitheater. It was an amazing show. I like how his voice has matured over the years. A brilliant musician (great keyboardist) and singer, God bless Winnipeg for nurturing him, Randy and The Guess Who. I'll always be a giant fan.

[Sircornflakes]

God I love this song. This guys voice is a national treasure.

[midlynn]

You got that right! I don't think I've ever heard a voice as great as his, and I love all kinds of music.

[torontodave]

Agreed, I have to say though that my favourite version of this song is off of his Up Close and Alone album

[DioneN]

Burton Cummings has one of the best, most distinctive voices ever. Thanks for posting this:)

[midlynn]

Best singer ever, in my opinion. And he still has it, too! And he's still good looking, I think he gets better with age.....

[liberty1866]

To Hatchetwounder: You really are PATHETIC

Tell us all what you produced???????????

Burton and the Guess Who sold millions worldwide.

[joe88350]

hatchetwonder- you produced a couple records huh,yeah right and im a brain surgeon if you dont like his music why are you here watching it?, take your make believe record producing ass away.i love these losers who know it all -they sit back and whine and complain that people suck.get alife -burton cummings and the guess who all rock, STAND TALL IS A CLASSIC.

[itunes65]

still his voice, and lyrics that aren't schlock. Don't care what he looks like. Keep going BC

[hatchetwounder]

Ooh, that was incredibly original! Nice work on the attempt at putting me in my place and, best wishes to your lip spider and mullet. Long-live pre-1975 Burton Cummings and eternal slumber for Survivor-esque schlock! :)

[midlynn]

Burton Cummings may have lost his WOW factor, but he can sing like no other still! I have his DVD with Randy Bachman, Running Back Thru Canada, and the First Time Around CD and DVD. He and Randy can still ROCK! Holy Moly! I think I like his voice at 60 better than I liked it at 20!! It's grown better with age, like fine wine!

[midlynn]

Burton Cummings is still one of the best singers in Rock history. You need to get a clue! Give it up, you aren't going to get any support here. We all LOVE Burton Cummings, and you are out of your league here. Begone fool!

[69Lovett]

I re-read your last 2 sentences..

You believe Burtons mustache has caused a decline in his vocal performance.!!

Ya OK

[69Lovett]

I've heard a sardonic nit wit or 2 in my time, yes. Why just a few moments ago...

[69Lovett]

Have you ever thought of getting your ears checked...??

[midlynn]

I just bought BachmanCummings DVD First Time Around (2006) and the CD Jukebox 2007 with Bachman and Cummings. They are still rocking! My 4 year old grandson was rocking to "Taking Care of Business", he made me play it 10 times tonight so he could sing along on his little mic to it.

[ARIV]

damn right he's a canuck! winnipeg's own

[gvbezoff]

It is rumoured that Burton Cummings is working on a new album and has 19 songs in the can already.

[krkraz]

Is he Canadian? I don't know why Lighthouse got it's better rating on those days.

[Bheaslip33]

hahah fuck me i was named after this guy!! burton as a first name will love on forever

[DTneedsroykhan]

wonder why i've never heard of this before. Going directly into my "vocalists" playlist. Awesome!!!

[sunsetbeauty75]

oh man..--Take one away---one of my favorites songs...been such a long time since i've heard it, and man the music video..what can i say AWSOME...really just makes me wanna cry.......

[loveclevelandohio]

One of my all time favorite singers of all time and my all time favorite songs of his.He deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame along with the rest of the Guess Who...they are long overdue.

[shifta65]

Holy cow! What a great singer and band. These guys are awesome.

[AmethystEagle]

Burton Cummings is a great singer/songwriter he also has a soothing voice its awsome

[Soursweet22]

Torna thanks for sharing this, I have alot of Burton oldies too, would love more, sorry I only have everything on VHS

[snowybwm]

Absolute love this one.

[tornadomanatwork]

he does a great job on it on his up close and alone cd

[snowybwm]

Amen.

[tornadomanatwork]

do u have up close and alone cd ? ...i have all bs solo work and his work with tgw

[snowybwm]

I do have it, and most of his other work, and most of TGW, which is my favorite rock band of all time. Burton had the best rock voice, bar none. Have you picked up the Thunderbird Trax?

[tornadomanatwork]

yes i did ,i have on dvd tgw together again from 1982 all of the guess who work burton was involved with what do u think about the what kale did run to registor the ownership of tgw under his name with-out burton or randy present seems like there should be a court to decide that ,,,what i think well i let my feelings be known here and on ebay ...

[snowybwm]

I think I probably feel as you feel. There was no GW without Burton.

[tornadomanatwork]

finally someone agrees with me,,,,

[snowybwm]

I think a lot of someones agree with you. I envy you that DVD from 82, by the way! I have the one from 2000, and the one from 2006.

[tornadomanatwork]

cheers i have running back thru canada also also burton cummings on much more music in 2001 i saw tgw back in 75 as my graduation present from my mom and dad they gave me a choice a party or going see tgw easy choice huh..lol...send me a email with your address can send u a copy of 82 reunion took it from vhs

[tornadomanatwork]

2006 ??? with kales band ?? or burton cummings and randy bachman concert i have that on dvd i got it from ebay as soon as i saw it pre-oder item,,

[snowybwm]

No the Bachman-Cummings special - I absolutely adore it. I have no interest in Kale's band! I dont know how to email you?

[tornadomanatwork]

click on my user name then there a a link that says email user..

[tornadomanatwork]

sing it burt

[othelo45]

Wow, never heard this song before. Absolutely great. What a voice.

[tornadomanatwork]

ITS ON THE " PLUS SIGNS" CD

[riron63]

It's too bad that The Guess Who was labeled as an "AM" band. They were never considered "cool" enough for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Burt sure belongs to be in it.

[gr48q]

man what a talent, fabulous voice, magic musician, and such credentials honours in music, this is one talented gentleman . Love him and his craft.

[mail8d]

Awesome singer. I love his music and I still watch the movie "Melanie" that he starred in, frequently. He is one of my favorite performers.

[OtagoHighlander]

There is none better

[jaidemm]

Burton Cummings still does concerts frequently actually.

[neilmitchel]

rember stand tall love it 2 bits ime 45 but never heard this one . very good he is a real tallent sorry hes not still doing it.

[Mooncrazy1970]

Incredible vid....Long live Burton Cummings.

[Beauvoir666]

This song really should have been performed on the recent Bachman-Cummings tour IMO.

Would have been incredible no doubt.

[temiscaming]

Best voice in rock. Wow.

[mistyluv8]

This video is great! Burton still has the voice and still my favorite

[caperchic]

My fav all time singer.. his voice is awesome... send chills right thru me. Thank U for sharing this!

[restlessred1]

Burton rocks! Then and Now.What a great song!
