They are Canadian and in my opinion that has alot to do with it. Alot of folks aren't in The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Olivia Newton-John is one of them. Also they didn't put alot of R & B Acts like The Whispers, Boyz To Men, The Stylistics amongst others. Also The Guess Who were the first Canadian Group to do American Bandstand. In Canada their songs are in daily rotation. It was sampled by A Rap Artist, and it was even used in a Eyeglass Commercial.
Late sixties early seventies “these guys” had so many hits. Burton’s vocals always stand out but as you mention great instrumentation here as well. This recording has elements make it stand out and sound different from others at the time. And many of their songs are like that. Had their greatest hits on eight track in early seventies and wore that tape out.
My hometown boys from Winnipeg, Canada 🇨🇦 Burton Cummings has a set of pipes that even Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin remarked on. Some other Guess Who songs Sour Suite Albert Flasher So long Bannatyne Undun Cheers
Keep in mind you want to eventually listen to the studio version of No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature. In the meantime, Shakin' All Over (Skeleton Dance), No Time, Albert Flasher, Rain Dance, Undun, Clap for the Wolfman....
My god. Burt Cummings. What a voice. He had so many hits. sooo many. He can punch notes, stretch them, soft them, hard them, annunciate, pronounce ...or not. so good.
My favorite song by The Guess Who is, "Undon". Burton Cummings learned to play the flute for this song. "Stand Tall" is my favorite from his solo career. ❤ him and the memories I have when hearing these songs, are priceless! May I never get too old to remember them.😂
Glad you are finding out about The Guess Who, another incredible Canadian 🇨🇦 group, one of my favorite The songs they did got me through some difficult times 💔❤️🩹. Randy Bachman is a world renowned guitarist & part of The Guess Who, he later formed another band BTO ( Bachman Turner Overdrive) fantastic r&r group. I have loved Burton Cummings voice since the 60’s ! Keep going down this rabbit hole ☮️💟
@@bugvswindshield … He was … always reminded me of this one actor, but I can’t remember his name. Can picture him though. And thanks for the R.I.P. for Larry 😊! I had a crush on him when I was about 14 but knew he was too old for him. So I introduced him to my oldest sister, who was just the right age. Wish I could say they lived happily ever after but I can’t. They just grew apart and that was it. He was still in our lives though, because of my niece and nephew.
The funny thing is....the song was written when Cummings and Bachman were just 21 and 23. Bachman had just gotten married and Cummings was still living at home. Neither of them had experienced any kind of breakup. Bachman wrote the lyrics, and Cummings laughingly said "I fixed them". The original lyrics by Bachman were "These Arms".
I’ve listened to a lot of these things and you are differenty one of the best. You show respect and don’t go stupidly crazy like most of the other people. Keep it up. I WILL KEEO LISTENING. thank you.
The Guess Who was one example of an American, "white R&B" band (often referred to as blue eyed soul). The creation of music today has changed for the worst! And bands like this are practically non existent! But as Miles Davis once said, "... that's what records are for" --- (to capture what was, but is now no more)! Nice reaction! ✌️😎
A GREAT GROUP! They had amazing songs and an amazing singer. When they broke up, Randy Bachman (who co-wrote or wrote most of the songs) left to form Bachman Turner Overdrive and had hits with them as well. Burton Cummings went solo and had a great first album. They reformed and had been doing gigs until Randy passed away. Talented people.
A Canadian rapper named Maestro Fresh Wes sampled this back in the 90’s. The song is called “Stick To Your Vision”. It’d be great to see you react to that now that your familiar with the original.
I've been listening to this my whole life, I was a kid when it came out. You might want to check out Stick To Your Vision by Maestro Fresh Wes, another Canuck who sampled These Eyes on this song. Somehow it made it better. Maestro was the first Rapper I related to. Just found you I really like you don't talk during the song.
One of the smoothest bass grooves ever. Jim Kale knew how to fill in the spaces. Despite the greatness of Burton's voice, I find myself listening to this and a few other Guess Who songs and just getting lost in the bass line.
You remain my favorite reactioner. Everyone else stops the music continuously throughout the entire songs. I love watching your visual reactions then you speak at the end of the song.
I had to laugh... on another reaction channel that I watch, after doing 5 or 6 Guess Who songs, they came on last week with a new singer that they "never heard" and had no idea about: Burton Cummings Of course about a hundred commenters informed them of the obvious.
@@AliasMark69 thanks! I don’t do the Patreon thing. Hey, have you heard Average White Band’s song Person to Person from their live Person to Person album? That whole album is full of funky goodness! Feel free to request that one, if you listen to it and like it. He’s only listened to a few AWB songs and no one has reacted to that song, which is a shame!
Wonderfully produced by the great Jack Richardson. He pulled together the multiple layers of this great song. The placement of horns, similar to drum fills, was what made an excellent song great.

This song & American Woman “ were the two songs that kicked off Burton Cummings singing career, he was still in school. His voice is phenomenal!👍🩵
Burton Cummings. Your favorite singers favorite singer! Outstanding voice!!!
Burton Cummings - "Stand Tall"
Yeah!
Beautiful song
Burton Cummings lead vocalist for the Guess Who is probably the best vocalist of the 70s
"Undun" is a must!
Most definitely!
It's ridiculous this great band is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame❤
Rolling Stone sucks!

Amazing Canadian icons, lead singer the amazing Canadian Burton Cummings. His solo work is great as well.

BIG HIT!. This song was huge on the radio. They had plenty more. Burton Cummings wrote some great tunes.

My favorite song by The Guess Who is, "Undon". Burton Cummings learned to play the flute for this song. "Stand Tall" is my favorite from his solo career. ❤ him and the memories I have when hearing these songs, are priceless! May I never get too old to remember them.😂
That's one of my favorites from them along with LAUGHING. I didn't he learned the Flute for the song. Wow!

John Lennon was asked if he could have any other voice, who's would it be. He said Burton Cummings.
That dude's voice

Another tasty treat served up at The Classic Rock Restaurant., On The House, as usual.
Great Canadian band. No sugar tonight is another great song
Proud to be Canadian.
Check out “Undun”
brilliant Burton Cummings is ne great singer
Grew up listening to my parents playing this album; I’m 56 and still play it myself ❤
I have owned that album on LP, 8-track, cassette, and CD! One of the best!
Stand Tall
Guess Who had many hits around 1969 .. suggest Undun
Randy Bachman (BTO and Guess Who) and Burton Cummings came up with this song.
My brother-in-law’s favorite song. R.I.P Larry 😇🥰‼️
must have been a good dude for you to say so.
rip larry, never knew ya, but you are remembered!

@@bugvswindshield … Thank you 😊!
Grandmother here , loving it
Grandfather here, loving it as well.
Yup! Another great reaction.
Laughing, Undun, Star Baby, all worth a listen... the guitarist here is Randy Bachman, later of Bachman Turner Overdrive
"Undun" "No Time" "America Woman" "No Sugar Tonight/ New Mother Nature"
I think you'd really dig Blood Sweat And Tears since you enjoy this sound❤
Check out "Albert Flasher" and "Life in the Bloodstream" by the Guess Who for more of Burton Cummings' vocal talent...
Burton sounds just as good live as he does on record, cassette, disc, etc.
The funny thing is....the song was written when Cummings and Bachman were just 21 and 23. Bachman had just gotten married and Cummings was still living at home. Neither of them had experienced any kind of breakup. Bachman wrote the lyrics, and Cummings laughingly said "I fixed them". The original lyrics by Bachman were "These Arms".
Always loved this one. Tite drop JM!!!
My absolute favourite song from the Guess Who. Burton Cummings is still doing small venue concerts today .
I’ve listened to a lot of these things and you are differenty one of the best. You show respect and don’t go stupidly crazy like most of the other people. Keep it up. I WILL KEEO LISTENING. thank you.

"You've made me so happy"...is my favorite
Been awhile since I've heard this one thank you ❤❤❤❤

The Guess Who have many great songs. It’s ridiculous they are not in the HOF. Which is a joke anyway.

Somehow it made it better. Maestro was the first Rapper I related to. Just found you I really like you don't talk during the song.
Great song choice..... Lots of radio play for years after it came out.
Please listen to Burton Cummings singing Stand Tall.
Yeah, super band all around. Tons of great songs. Thanks for the reaction.
Another iconic Canadian group. 🇨🇦
The voice, those strings easing in. I lived this song.
One of the smoothest bass grooves ever. Jim Kale knew how to fill in the spaces. Despite the greatness of Burton's voice, I find myself listening to this and a few other Guess Who songs and just getting lost in the bass line.
You remain my favorite reactioner. Everyone else stops the music continuously throughout the entire songs. I love watching your visual reactions then you speak at the end of the song.
Burton Cummings and Steve Marriott are two singers who never get mentioned on the best vocalist lists, which is Bullshit.
Nice choice. Loved this band so much! ✌️♥️🤟🥁
Burton Cummings in beast mode.

That was crazy. I saw that too.😂
If it's who I'm thinking, they are really bad about reading the comments.
@@debjorgo rsr
@@lauraulnye6857 yep
Lol I know who y'all are talking about.😉
This tune was a favourite with Ska & Reggae musicians in the Caribe. There are three versions of it recorded.
Subscribed!
Check out JM's Playlist.... Awesome Names.
Haven't heard this song in years
Check out blood sweat and tears they had a number of hits you make me so very happy when I die plus more
This song is an absolute Classic!
Life in the Bloodstream is one you ought not to miss.
American Woman! 😊
Great Song, great time in my life
Another great one! ❤
Amazing song with all-star singing from Burton. I saw him once live around 1970 and he delivered the goods.
Loved your reaction.
Just fantastic!
I'm with ya...
❤❤❤
Very Nice
Nice
The Intruders - "Cowboys To Girls"
Another great one!

Wonderfully produced by the great Jack Richardson. He pulled together the multiple layers of this great song. The placement of horns, similar to drum fills, was what made an excellent song great.
I saw Burton Cummings live 12 years ago when he was 64. He sang many of the old Guess Who hits and could still sing like he did in the 60s and 70s.
