Few artists have achieved the level of public success and critical acclaim that Burton Cummings has enjoyed in a remarkable career spanning more than forty years. Whether as lead singer and songwriter with The Guess Who or on his own, the Winnipeg native has amassed more hit records than just about any other Canadian performer in history.
His Guess Who classics include “These Eyes”, “No Time”, “American Woman”, “No Sugar Tonight” and “Share the Land” while his hits as a solo artist include “Stand Tall”, “I’m Scared”, “Timeless Love”, “Break It To Them Gently” and “I Will Play a Rhapsody”.
Cummings has also ventured into acting having starred in the 1982 feature film, Melanie which co-starred Don Johnson, Glynnis O’Connor and Paul Sorvino. And although he now resides in Sherman Oaks, California, he still retains ties in Winnipeg where a theatre has been named after him and where he has been invested in the Order of Manitoba.
In addition to earning several Juno Awards, he has been inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and has received a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame. In 2009, Cummings was named an officer of the Order of Canada by Governor General Michaëlle Jean.
