Burton Cummings has one of the best voices in rock.
James Dunn damn right! The last :45 of this song... so great!
ABSOLUTELY!!😎👍🏻
@@massapower Yes Burton Cummings and Eric Burdon! The best!
Nobody can scat like Burton Cummings! I cringed when I read that Laughing is still in the set list, after Burton Cummings left the band. Who could possibly do it as well as him?
@@db_xx4221 John Fogerty,Burton Cummings and Paul Rogers are the three most recognizable voices in Rock and Roll
Burton Cummings is unbelievably talented. I love his voice!
"Time goes slowly, but carries on. And now the best years, the best years have come and GAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWN." God I love that part.
THICCisSICC Hahahaha yeah me too. It’s great
I get goosebumps everytime
Totally dig how he pulls it out of nowhere...man...totally mesmerizing!
I love that part too. 2:03 There you go, i like to repeat it again and again, floating with the music.
The best days HAVE come and gone. It's over now.
One of the best voices in rock.
agree
great song please check out The Guess Who - American Woman Album Review on my channel
Paul Rogers, Stevie Marriot, Allan Merrill, Steve Perry, Roger Daltry, Robert Plant to name a few. Yes he is well up there.
@@TR5T And Harry Nilsson.
GawdOfThunder YES! He shows his awesome range in the last :30...... chills....
@eugene swayngim Mercury? No need to shame it, everyone already recognizes it. Unlike other excellent singers who do not receive the same attention
Wow, an actual live in the studio performance. No lip synch, no backing tracks, no safety nets.
The way it should be done. Real talent, and plenty of it.
That depended on so many variables. The studio, scheduling, equipment..... even Ed Sullivan who prided himself on having live performances had to have a few groups lip sync. Many groups preferred to perform live but a lot of times, it simply wasn't possible. American Bandstand's studio through the 1960's wasn't equipped with multitrack recording. "Bandstand" was considered "just a kiddie show" and wasn't allowed a decent budget into the 70's.
@@That_AMC_Guy triggered
how are you sure that wasn't lip-sync?
they didn't need a net
In my opinion, Burton Cummings is one of the greatest rock ‘n’ roll singers of all time! His voice is pure magic!
And still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but they'll put Dolly Parton in what a joke
@James Dunn 🍀🇺🇲🇨🇦
Who are the two male hosts who introduce our guys?
yeah he's great. Can sing wherever, that Stern performance was amazing considering where he was.
Absolutely true, Burton is one of the greatest singers of all time, one of my favorite performers for over 50 years, outstanding top of the line solid gold standard of excellence, true Master Musician
100 % agree with you!! Amazing singer no doubt ! No one ever sounded like him!
Burton's so young here yet his voice is fully matured
My dad, who died 14 years ago, loved this song. It always reminds me of him.
I'm sorry about your father.
This song reminds me of my ex. Soon I'll be the one laughing.
I'm Sorry About Your Father.
I Believe,your Father Laughing and Singging This Song In Heaven
Aww sorry for your loss. It's been Six Years since My Dad died. These guys were amazing. They were the first Canadian Group to do American Bandstand. As for The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, these Panelists know nothing about Canadian Music. Alot of others should be inducted. New Edition, Boyz To Men, The Whispers, The Carpenters, Olivia Newton-John, Chic & The Marvelettes. They wouldn't even consider Anne Murray as well.
I'm sorry about your dad 💔
Te mando un fuerte abrazo
He is freaking FANTASTIC.
Nothing that resembles the time period in which we grew up will ever appear or be heard. Such bands do not and will never exist again. I'm happy I was around to experience the greatest music ever. Saw these guys in Birmingham 1987
I am in total amazement of Burton’s singing. His vocals are perfect. Such discipline and talent.
Burton was just a week or so shy of 22 when this was performed. Unbelievable. The run at 2:11 ...
The early 20's the most creative stage in the human brain and he can thank American soul singers for that flair in his style, he's one of a kind!
Yes, such blooming, no, exploding talent and as good an instrument as any rock vocalist ever possessed (to say nothing of his keyboard prowess). That pass you mention always put a chill down my spine - power and soul.
Bachman and Cummings should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
OVERDUE!!!!
Michael Shimp Totally agree!! 👏👍 👏👍 👏👍
yup
They Should be inducted
They're NO Janet Jackson!
One of the great Canadian bands. Absolutely.
The greatest-in my opinion!
Rush
@@jakecontos7626 Another great Canadian band.
Thanks I didn't know they were Canadian
Hell yeah
When he hit that line .....the best years ,the best years have come and gone.
I just gotta say...damn they were a great canadian band.... and they were
prophetic words there, especially in regards to music.
can i get an amen?
And still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Yeah, he riffs the hell out of that phrase.
@@randyclement2429 Rock and Roll Hall of fame has to be a joke.
Thank all of you for liking my comment.And the coolest bands could care less about the hall of fame, that's the truth. Steve Miller has a great soundbite on you tube putting the r.r.h.o.f in its place.....check it out. Peace yall !
Burton Cummings has such a unique style and resonance to his voice. He is definitely in a league of his own.
One of the all-time great Rock vocalists. Hands down!!! Beautiful tone, perfect diction, great range, tons of soul!!! 👍👍👍
underrated comment!
10! For the comment....and 10 for Burton.
It really blows my mind, the people don't realize BTO, I can turn her Overdrive was a derivative of the same band! 🙅
Jim Morrison greatly admired Burton's vocals.
So did Robert Plant and John Lennon
Mr Spaghetti Western never knew wow
Must of liked his hair also, or vise versa?
@ A buffoon perhaps, but a great singer...
Burton’s voice is magic
Burton Cummings........man what a voice
The audio and video quality of this clip is outstanding for it's age. Wow!
I know, and that was before U-Matic (video format) which didn't come out till '71. This was on 1" or 2" videotape that's survived 50 years.
@@jaworskij 2-inch Quadruplex, baby! And this is the stuff Pre-Opec days, so the tape stock is unimaginably stable.
What is surprising is that the CBC didn't wipe the tape to re-use it! The TV Show "Let's Go!" where The Guess Who was the house band had ALL of it's 2" Quad tapes wiped to be re-used. All that exists of Let's Go are some very poor quality B&W 16mm Kinescopes. Luckily though, one producer (who's name escapes me at the moment) had the wherewithal to retain some of the Guess Who's audio tapes that would be used on the show and the band would mime to them. Those surviving tapes were cleaned up and issued on CD a few years back.
U haven't seen queen or Beatles music videos
@@That_AMC_Guy So was this performance done live or mimed? It's definitely not a lip sync of the original single.
@@davel4467 This is very obviously live in the studio.
Cummings and Bachman, two teenagers from Winnipeg! Absolutely incredible what they achieved. I’ve recently attended live concerts from Burton Cummings and three months later Randy Bachman. Just fantastic! Bachman is 80 and doesn’t miss a beat. Cummings never took a single minute of break the whole evening. Even when the rest of the band rested. Love these guys! Some of the best in the business!
1969 was the best years in original music
Burton Cummings had one of the best voices in Rock and Roll history. His
voice in concerts, and here on video, sounds just like the record/ CD. This
band, and Cummings and Bachman should be in the US - Hall of Fame. This
band has tons of other "big hits" just like this one performed here.
Burton's voice was and is like no other. It's a band and a singer that makes one feel graced to hear. Thank you so much Burton and The Guess Who, thank you.
Doing 3 things todays music stars can't do. Singing a song they wrote themselves, playing all the instruments, and performing it live with no computer help.
Amennnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, a majority, but then there's always the minority who can. Just need to know where to look.
@O K They are using the computers to do things they don't have talent to do themselves. The level of ignorance one individual can carry is phenomenal.
You remind me of the way our parents talked about 1960s and 1970s music, except with different complaints (it didn’t sound like music, the voices weren’t trained, etc.)
Yeah, yeah, yeah... everything was better back in the day. smh
Burtons vocals & the energy he puts into it has never been matched.
37 years old and "the best years have come and gone" still gets me every time. My goodness, Burton!!
Twenty one
Absolutely. So powerful, so effortless, so awesome!
He sings that line SO good. I came here to see him do it!
21
My god could he sing!
“...you’re the laughin’ lady”...his improv really puts a stamp on these songs! Well done Burton, Randy, Jim and Gary!
yep well said. I love singers like him that put a lot of style into their vocal like this. and the crazy thing is he didn't just sing! Great piano player too.
He did that same kind of thing on the fade-outs of several of their songs, yet each time it was different.
Never heard of this great song from 1969 until I saw the movie Joker in 2019
Me also 🤗...It's a Beautiful song ❤
Maestro Feliciano .me too
Wow guess your not a 70s kid.
Same
Well young fella, you definitely have good taste in music.
Janet Jackson in rock & roll hall of fame but no Guess Who? Thats just crazy!
She is? That is kinda sad. Why is it even called Rock & Roll then?
I know right?
What!!??
Ludicrous- this is awesome rock and roll
I was thinking they are not in R&R Hall of Fame because they are Canadian, not American? But I guess not because I remember The Hollies being inducted...
Real musicians.Writing their own songs. Playing their own instruments and singing their songs! The way its supposed to be!! The Guess Who material sounds fresh today just like it did back when they first recorded it! Big Fan! Burton Cummins voice is amazing and Randy Bachmann knew how to write a hook you'll never forget!!Long live TGW!!
I've always loved The Guess Who, since the late 60's. One of the best bands in my lifetime, for sure!!! 🥰
I'm 40 and they're one of my favorite bands.
I’m 70 and I always liked the guess who better than the Who but my favorite was The Doors
@@danharkins5673 , I still have the first Doors album “ Light My Fire” I used my lunch money to buy it 😱 $ 2.50 🤣🤣. I’m so glad my husband and I hung on to our vinyl collection 1960-1970’s 👏🏻👏🏻
2:10 didn’t think he was gonna do that note
To him is very easy
Burton still has a great voice....Glamour Boy shows his talent.
It would be hard for most singers but He’s a Virtuoso with a golden voice - it’s not that hard for him
He did it perfect...even better than the album version.
I thought the same thing. Figured that bit was a luck during some take in the studio sessions, then he pulls it off without a thought. In those days, Burton had a cleaner, fuller voice than just about anyone.
Burton was frighteningly good. These types only come around once every 35-50 years.
Yes...frighteningly.
Burton Cummings' vocal is unique, fantastic, the best in the business.
Love, love his voice. Plus not hard on the eyes. 😉
These vocals are incredible!

Edit: Jesus, I didn't even see Lucienne.
Burton Cummings - what a voice!
Oh my God help me! I can’t stop watching this!! The vocals, the enunciation, the music, so freakin good
Not only a great voice but a great song writer at a young age. True Musical Talent.
Proud to call myself a Winnipeger and to have these guys as our ambassadors!!!!!!!
,Russ Lupky: Winnipeg obviously had a strong music scene to create these guys: You have a right to be proud,.
I’ve come back and watched this probably 30 times in the last couple of months. It’s as good a live performance of music as you’ll ever see. Just really solid.
Have you seen Grand Funk Railroad live? 3 man band and the base was best I have ever heard or seen
I love grand funk railroad "inside looking out" 3 dudes NAILED IT
WOW!!! Burton’s voice is extraordinary - and one of a kind. LOVE it! The Guess Who gave us great vocals and great songs. They deserve to be in Rock’s Hall of Fame!
Hello Sarah how are you doing?
@@davidpreston4019 Hello David. It’s a mad world, but the music is great so I’m doin’ alright here. Hope you are too.
@@sarahnbrla.882 Nice to hear, I’m doing great. Where are you from if you don’t mind?
@@davidpreston4019 The Bayou State - and you?
@@sarahnbrla.882 I'm David from Houston, Texas. You seems like a real Country girl😊🌹 Are you fully American?
with out doubt the finest vocalist in rock history..
In my opinion he's second only to Boston's Brad Delp. That's sayin alot!
What a voice.....man could sing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jim Kale on bass, what a clear backing voice from Jim, this is a treasure to watch !!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim Myers: A treasure to watch Jim Kale's quick fingered work on the bass, too bad we couldn't see Randy's slick work on the lead guitar.
Wow! I can watch this a million times and I still get completely lost in it! A million emotions and I LOVE Burton and all of them!
The Guess Who, what an underrated band!!!!.
Its mind blowing when you hear this huge voice, and the camera pans over to this dude... If i could sang half as good, if be posted up somewhere doing it right now... Top 5 vocalist of all time in my book
Burton Cummings' voice is Pure Gold❤ Beautiful song !!!!!!!!
I saw him perform live after leaving the Guess Who in 1976 and he was awesome then!! At the time I thought he had the best voice I had ever heard and after watching the video, I still believe it today!!
Very underrated group. Many awesome hit songs!
Wow...It is amazing that you can see the lips are so synched because they ARE singing it LIVE!!! Amazing group The Guess Who. Fabulous singer Burton Cummings with great bkgd harmonies & fantastic players.
WOOOOW!😊 TONS OF MEMORIES FROM MY HIGHSCHOOL DAYS IN THE EARLY 70'S M.😅🎉😅🎉😅🎉😅🎉😅
One of the BEST rock ‘n roll groups ever! What an awesome voice!
Love the guess who, my favorite band in the 70's! Me and my boyfriend saw them whenever they were in Chicago! Thank you for your beautiful music!
So diverse and talented no matter what they are playing... and lets not forget, Randy went on to BTO and was taking care of business in that band as well.
Beautiful piece of music, Burton one of the finest singers of all time, master musicians
Now THIS is an iconic voice from the 60's. I grew up listening to songs from The Guess Who.
Incredible performance. Damn Burton was soulful, dude is underrated..Wow. Man it just doesn't get any cooler than AM Gold. Talent just endless in 60s and 70s..
"All it takes is. One. Bad. Day..." - joker
My God, how precious. Live singing playing. Nailed it!
The Guess Who was part of the soundtrack to my life growing up as a teenager in Hawaii🤙🏽
These guys are one of the greatest bands ever...me and my kin forks out here in the back woods of KY toast to these guys with some of the best moonshine in the country while playing some of their greatest hits with our instruments... y'all Rock my brother..
Awesome live version of one of the best pop songs of all time. The arrangement is simple and to the point, just super. Burton is such a great singer and here is sporting his Morrison hairdo. Actually, he admired Jim Morrison greatly. Got to see Burton solo several years back in Newton, New Jersey at our county music venue. He was still outstanding.
Wow, what a soulful vocal, stunning.
My first concert... "The Guess Who" opened for the "The Who".. Now at 14 yrs of age, that was powerful stuff.. Costed 6dollars to see 2 great bands in CorpusChristi, Texas at a venue that only held 4500. Still there. Memories.
Hello Tina how are you doing?
Lucky you! I would've loved to have been there, but I would've only been there for the Guess Who. Not really a fan of The Who. They have some great songs I listen to but just wasn't into them.
6 dollars? Worth every penny!!
"Used to think that my life was a tragedy...now I realize...it's a comedy"
I never get tired of listening to this song,it's just awesome!
Hard to believe that they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame they had all a lot of success in the USA and Canada should be there they were great Burton Cummings it was a tremendous vocalist
If Todd Rundgrens not in RRHOF,noone else should be.
I know. That took me by surprise...I didn't realize.
I miss real musicians like these. Sad.
I know ;c
@joe Domjan , The real deal!.
Amazing powerful voice wow!!!
Jim morrison hairstyle, This dude was handsome.
I remember listening to these songs , driving to classes at college. On an 8 track player. I am 65 now
Me too!! The 70's summer. Damn what a great time
Burton Cummings was one of my favorite vocalists. Man,he looks young there.
David Litchke
That is cause he is young there
David Litchke he has such a baby face without his moustache, but yeah he probably is just a kid in this video!
He is the greatest, saw him in Vegas twice in the past few years and still amazing vocals,. when l saw him at the Orleans he was front and center with his piano. He was not surrounded by a band, or cheesy background singers or dancers. Just him with his piano and l loved him. A great talent.
Hello Victoria how are you doing?
Wow Burton Cummings is a beautiful man! And what a voice! Love his expressions! ♥️♥️♥️♥️
This is a legendary band, come on Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, just unreal, they are awesome and their music will last forever....
Fantastic voice. Another song from my youth. I'm 71 and still love these oldies like this one.
Thank you Canada for The Guess Who and Hockey!
Damn! I love this! One of the greatest bands of all times and his voice! Just takes me back. I had this album. That voice - those lips! ❤️❤️❤️
Burton Cummings has such an impressive range, and is a Canadian rock legend, along with Geddy Lee and Mike Reno as well as many others.
One of the best voices and writers of all time - Burton Cummings. And he was so young here, absolutely amazing. Just wish there were more of these recordings to watch over and over.
Fantastic singer Burton , I’ve seen him perform and his voice still sounds great
Wayne and Schuster. That brings back memories. The Guess Who are my favourite Canadian band.
I'm so stuck on this song for the last 24hrs non stop.
That voice...! One of, if not the greatest in R&R history...
Love the song, love the drumming and melody, it makes me feel good
Magnificent Masterpiece from Master Musicians, fan for over 50 years
My husband and I desperately wanted to see Burton and Randy in concert. Never happened, and now my husband has passed, and I'm resigned to RUclips. Superb musicians both and Burton an unrivalled vocalist, in my humble opinion.
What a voice !!! One of the best
The group produced only quality!!!
Singing live!!!!!! Epic. You never see that, even on shows back then.
Great band! The Guess Who was heavily played on Detroit radio in the early 1970’s when I was a teenager. It’s sad that today’s youth have never heard of them.
These guys have the whole package. Handsome front singer with a way out voice-
It is refreshing to see a live performance on TV back then. In the US, they would always use a soundtrack!
Not necessarily. It depended on the TV show, the studio being used and whether or not they had time to spend on a "live" take.
Wow, uh, Burton Cummings. Uh, Burton Cummings. Uh...flabbergasted by how good this guy is and was. What a treasure. And Peterson's drums...sensational. Wow, what a band. And of course...uh...Burton Cummings.
Yep!!!!
He had a great voice...
lol they don't get it
How can anyone not like this song and this band? I've always loved Burton's voice
Burton is so freaking awesome...not sure there was any better male pop rock singer in the 60s.
What a great band! Sounds just like the record.
Love the "pop-up" info!
Except that it's blatantly wrong about him being a baritone
Thank you, CBC, for releasing this. I am grateful that these are finally being released after so many years.
We are excited too!
