Harvey Brownstone Interviews Music Superstar, Burton Cummings

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Music Superstar, Burton CummingsAbout Harvey's guest:Today’s guest, Burton Cummings, guest is a legendary singer, songwriter, and recording artist whose stellar body of work over almost 6 decades, is timeless.  His voice is widely considered to be one of the greatest and finest voices in the history of rock music. As lead singer and songwriter for “The Guess Who”, he recorded a string of international hit singles including “American Woman,” “These Eyes,” “Laughing,” “No Time,” “Share the Land,” “No Sugar Tonight,” “Clap for the Wolfman”, and many more great songs, all written or co-written by our guest. The Guess Who was the first Canadian group to reach #1 on the Billboard charts, and they were the first to have a platinum-selling album in the U.S., with sales of more than a million records.  After the group disbanded in 1975, our guest embarked on an even more spectacular solo career, with a whole slew of hit singles and gold records including “Stand Tall,” “I’m Scared,” “My Own Way to Rock,” “I Will Play a Rhapsody,” “Timeless Love,” “Break It to Them Gently,” “Dream of a Child,” and “You Saved My Soul”, which earned him a Genie Award when it was featured in the movie, “Melanie”, in which he co-starred. His brilliant 1978 album, “Dream of a Child” became the first quadruple platinum-selling album by a Canadian artist. He has also published 2 volumes of poetry. The list of accolades this man has received is truly jaw dropping. He’s won 5 RPM Awards, 6 Juno Awards, 22 SOCAN Awards and 3 SOCAN Classic Awards, 3 BMI America Awards, and the Genie Award that I already mentioned. He's received an honorary doctorate from Brandon University in his home province of Manitoba, and he’s also been named to the Order of Manitoba. And in 2009 he was named an Officer of the Order of Canada. He’s received TWO stars on Canada's Walk of Fame – one as a member of The Guess Who, and one as a solo artist. He’s been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame AND the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and he’s the recipient of the SOCAN lifetime achievement award.  And although he is a global superstar and a member of rock ‘n’ roll royalty, here in Canada he is our very own national treasure and a living legend.  He’s currently on a North American tour playing to sold out audiences, but he’s taken time out of his very busy schedule to appear on our show.For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/To learn more about Burton Cummings, go to:https://www.burtoncummings.com/https://www.facebook.com/burtoncummingshttps://www.instagram.com/burtoncummings/https://x.com/burtoncummingshttps://www.tiktok.com/@burtoncummingshttps://open.spotify.com/artist/5ziVRv2caoBDNG2fythJ2n?si=9jSeQX0NRlm0yQeXClv0hghttps://music.apple.com/ca/artist/burton-cummings/213444@harveybrownstone,#harveybrownstone,@harveybrownstoneinterviews,#harveybrownstoneinterviews,#burtoncummings,@burtoncummings,#TheGuessWho,#RandyBachman,#Canadianvocalists,#CanadianRockStars,#FallsviewCasino,#OLGStage,#AmericanWoman,#IWillPlayaRhapsody,#BreakIttoThemGentlyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
