Edward Bear-Masquerade

[Friedtoenails]

great one.

[sggitcm]

This guy has the butteriest voice ever. 

[kpsmm]

They first called the group "Edward The Bear", but decided to change it to Edward Bear because everyone thought it was a jazz ensemble. Great old songs from a great Canadian band.

[Tequila484]

I know Edward bear is a group. Loved this group and when i moved to Australia. I had everyone loving it. His song , fly across the sea is what happened to me. I flew across the sea to visit a loved one and one week after the visit he passed away. In his song it was a guy who flew across the sea, in my life it was just reversed I flew across the sea to help him. All his songs live within me. xx 484

[riverdale999]

A masterpiece. "You Me & Mexico", "Fly Across The Sea", "Masquerade", "Last Song", "Close Your Eyes" are as good as anything from anywhere in the world from that time. And that's saying something because the music from that period (mid-60s to late 70s) is the best ever. That's not nostaligia. That's fact.

[trooper1ize]

Just awesome music, ,ya know he,s not an actual dude,that was winnie the poohs first name before he became winne the pooh. Edward the Bear

[DBJJR]

Guitar work outstanding...Who is that Guy!!

[Derek58851]

Try to find the talent and content in the c(rap) music they sell to our kids. This song is timeless!

[Tequila484]

You may not realize this Edward Bear, I am Canadian and when I lived in Australia in 193-1976, All my friends loved Edward Bear. Still in contact with them and they listen and sing to your songs even today, tequila 484

[riverdale999]

@Tequila484 Edward Bear is a group.

[RoryNights]

Great song and video! Enjoyed the pics you chose :)

[9917pook]

Terry Bush on guitar - I married him :)

[classie60]

[oldmanmonty]

@classie60 pull your head out your ass!! this man is much better than cassidy and does not sound anything like him.

[joeyd1957]

Edward Bear played at my Toronto High School back in the arly 70's. Harbord C.I.

[Back2Guitars]

Excellent song and a great video- Thanks!!

[wheelzwheela]

Good old Edward Bear. Thumbs up if you are from the Great White North.

[luvdastuf]

[luvdastuf]

[beulahethel]

Still beautiful after all these years

[joeyd1957]

@beulahethel

Sure is!

[sgguitar77]

Thanks for posting this. I'm 32, and this song was probably one of the first influences for me to play guitar as a kid of 12, from listening to my father's records. haven't heard it in years, nice memories.

[magistrumartium]

I like this video! Complements the song well. First time in a long, long time I've heard it and I enjoyed the oictures a lot. Thanks , gripedwards!

[Joeyfulco]

Hi,

I actually thought the video was kind of cleaver! Nice work! Great tune!

[skipper1]

Really nice song.

Always thought it had that Partridge Family feel. Even sounds lke David Cassidy.

[riverdale999]

Sounds like Abbey Road era Beatles.

[riverdale999]

Amazing song. May be their best. Great guitar work. Fanatstic song from the best era of music.

[gravano2]

agreed , close your eyes second

[lpvcrcd]

Definitely Canada actually gave us a lot of great artrists and music during that time[and I'm not Canadian] I think Edward Bear was basically Larry Evoy I may have the name wrong His music was simply great!! Thanks for sharing

[snafufufu]

Heh gravano2:

Are you from Port?

[gravano2]

Yes i am , now in Wainfleet

[snafufufu]

Heh gripedwards;

Thanks for the great memories -- I saw them at a high school dance in Port Colborne Ontario CANADA many,many years ago.

[gravano2]

I was there

[snowstormcan]

ONTARIO

[alandhopewell]

A greatly underrated talent; I had "Edward Bear" and "Close Your Eyes" BITD, played them to bits. "Fool" may be one of the best break-up songs ever.

[cjthemusicman]

...we all hide behind a mask every once-in-a-while...

Great tune!

*****

[cougar1233]

great song, video sucks

[gravano2]

Great tune and video

[bunnee777]

amazing song, video kinda sukks...

[gripedwards]

I'm sorry you didn't like the video.

Edward Bear did not make the video, I did.

Just my interpretation of the song...

[cjthemusicman]

Don't apologise! This is a great vid! What's wrong with people...

[rollinwiththeflow]

@gripedwards - The video is great - I guess she's never painted her face and run around...

Their best work! *****

[poltallach]

My fav song!

[johnnypoker46]

Great song, easily my favourite by Edward Bear.

[simonlebon29]

About 5 years ago I did some work for Larry Evoy not knowing who he was... I saw this gold album with a picture of this guy and he said it was him... He gave me a CD and I have not been able to stop listening to it since... Great songs... I was only a baby when they came out!

[supershelldude]

wow what a great song

[cjthemusicman]

You did a tremendous job on this vid! Just great!

[lilwayneluver709]

my all-time fav song, awesome

[spadinajack]

Finally! I've found it! I LOVED this Song way back in 1971 and I've been trying to find it for YEARS!!! GREAT Toronto Band!!!

[terry9966]

Saw them on solid gold in about 1975, great tune , nice to see a band from canada on us tv back then

[cjthemusicman]

.....thank you for saying that.

[hahl940]

Hi Grip: Just a note to tellyou how much I still appreciate you putting together this Edward Bear tune for me. As I said before, listening to it brings back fond memories and good times that my darling wife and I shared back in the Seventies. I listen to it every time I have Youtube up. I miss her so much and I know she would have been so grateful to you for all the work you did in her memory. Thanks again!

[hobnob34]

Great song! Always loved this tune.

Whomever is doing the riff, did a great job.

[copperhead1961]

The 70`s the best decade for music in the history of the world!!!!!!!!!
