Few artists have achieved the level of public success and critical acclaim that Burton Cummings has enjoyed in a dazzling career spanning more than forty years. Whether as lead singer and songwriter with the band, Guess Who or on his own, Burton Cummings has amassed more hit records than just about any other Canadian performer in history.
Beloved songs such as “These Eyes,” “Laughing,” “No Time,” “American Woman,” and many all bear Burton’s distinctive stamp. His voice has been rated among the finest in rock music.
As a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, Canadian Walk of Fame, Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame, Prairie Music Hall of Fame, six-time Juno Award winner, recipient of the Order of Canada, the Order of Manitoba, the Governor-General’s Performance Arts Award, 22 SOCAN Awards and several BMI (Broadcast Music Industry) awards for over 1 million airplays of his songs, Burton Cummings is one of the most celebrated rock artists in Canadian music history.
With the Guess Who he earned the first US platinum album by a Canadian artist, and on his own the first quadruple-platinum Canadian-produced album. Altogether Burton has earned some 80 platinum and gold record awards. Recently, the best-selling book The 100 Top Canadian Singles ranked “American Woman” the greatest Canadian single of all time. He also enjoys a world-wide stature shared by only a select few Canadian artists.
The consummate performer and professional, Burton possesses an extraordinary gift for entertaining. As a concert draw, he is second to none delighting audiences from 10 to 10,000. His most recent album, 2008’s critically-acclaimed “Above The Ground,” was his first ever to feature all original songs by Cummings. Fans and critics alike glowed with superlatives citing the album as his best work in decades.
