Burts voice was unbelievably good during this era. Not as good now, but that's just life. Wish this lineup could have paced themselves and got along much longer.
The song i love to hate & hate to love! My girl screwed my best friend and there you go! Still...The Guess Who carried me thru the whole darn mess - till the record wore out.
The voice. the music...Destined for greatness. Looking back now at the successes and the notoriety. One of the best bands in history. Thank you, Burton Cummings.
one of the least played songs by the guess who. WHY? Bachman has a superb writing mind and with burtons vocals makes this song incredible. My favorite band of all time
A female soul singer sampled this as well. Would you happen to know who it was? The had a very raw, raspy voice. I know The Staple Singers sampled it as well but I know that version. Any help please...Thank you!
I once met Burt at a autograph session. I praised him for this tune. He told me it was Randy's tune. Randy may have wrote it, but Burt owns the publishing rights from Nimbus 9. This caused a major rift between Randy and Burt. He got to the publishing rights for their tunes before Randy, and did not share. I read it in Randy's book. Oh well...that's business.
I saw the Guess Who in '72 and '75 both at the Grandstand at the Canadian National Exhibition, both were sold out. I was close to the stage for both, it was fabulous!!!!! They were so tight as a band, even with the new members.
LOL! LOL! LOL! 99ONTGUY, I'm afraid that I've never owned a pair blue jeans or a blue jay hat in my entire life! I was still into polyester stuff. Now, I wear black denims and a purple velour hat. I've gone rad!!!
Randy wrote this song, showing his jazzy side just like Undun. Burton always praised this song. And I agree about Pink Wine Sparkles in the Glass, a great song that maybe could have been a follow up to These Eyes.

I remember Barry Allen had a minor hit with this tune. His version was good, but Burton really nails it!
