    I was 17 in 1977, Burton was turning 30. I remember watching this and this was amazing! No autotune and what a beautiful song. Always loved the Guess Who, but Burton Cummings by himself was the voice! So handsome and those eyes🎼🎶🎼💜

      I was there at the Hatch Shell, April 30, 1977. I was also 17 and stood right there at the stage right in front of Burton. His piano side way to the stage on the right and it was the white one. So his profile was to me. He was right there, I could probably touch his feet if I tried ha ha Ha. I was just mesmerized when he sang this song at the piano. The voice, emotion, playing the piano, and of course not that it matters but he’s quite good looking and was dressed nice.

    Love this interview and love Burton's music, especially his first solo album. I had the vinyl, then I had the cassette, now I have the CD, among his others. :) the first time I heard Stand Tall I was in a car with my bf and I as soon as I heard the voice I yelled "that's Burton Cumings". His voice is so distinct to those of us who love his music. Still one of the vrry best in my opinion.
