[@pamcoyer9582]

Cummins is the MOST underrated rock singer ever. Beautiful voice!

[@petergrattan3509]

Burton Cummings and Freddie Mercury are the best voices in rock music.

Now this is talent! Taylor Swift is a joke compared to him!

[@frederickglasser5617]

One who could compare and is on par w/Burton for songwriting and voice is John Waite of the Babys, solo, and Bad English.

[@jimsmith540]

Dinah Shore was really good at her job. She seamlessly brought all the guests into the conversation.

[@davewin1792]

It's a shame that such professionalism all the way around it mostly gone today.

[@CeeOlleab388]

Burton Cummings should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by now. He is a legend, an icon and musician/artist, a legend.

[@kristinwalden3122]

Its a crime they aren't but its simple...The owner of the rock and roll hall of fame took offense to american woman and never liked them..i think being in the canadian hall of fame means more to him anyway..

[@patsybaker-br5jy]

He's in the Canadian Hall of Fame, and the Writers Hall of Fame. He is Canadian and lives there. Makes since.

[@joe-vz6hx]

News flash, the "Rock n Roll Hall of Fame" is a complete joke. I'm amazed anyone pays any attention to it - so many people in it aren't even rock performers lol

[@jamessquair6829]

Burton must have peed on Ahmet’s Corn Flakes once upon a time, cause he ain’t never getting in the RARHOF.

I bet you Burton Cummings was in awe and so happy to meet Ray Charles.

[@WarpedRecord]

He was, and it showed!

Hearing Burton sing perhaps could make Ray see again

[@televinv8062]

100%

[@lonelyheroine]

He really was.

[@MrJones-ge5sl]

Four originals... Ray, Dinah, George and Burton. This was the absolute peak of Burton's voice... a once in a generation singer. Still sounds great at 74. Special moment for him, as Ray was his idol.

[@dougww1ectebow]

He still sounds amazing. Never seen him live but I did get to see Ray Charles.

[@joeskorbinhorbinchuk3286]

Why can't there be entertainment like this today? The sheer talent of everyone on the couch, and their conversation is amazing.

[@jodywight3948]

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🎼🎶🎼💜

[@darjeeling3]

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.

[@jodywight3948]

It's really hard to find great voices like this today. It's becoming rare.

[@scottburton9701]

Burton is an awesome vocalist-Would like to see him & The Guess Who inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame.

[@ifkncantbelieveit]

Boy you are so right just american women should get him in with the guess who let alone everything else. His voice is out of this world

[@susanamelody7319]

I agree!!!!! He is such a great singer!!!!!!

[@rjrburton205]

What a voice! Burton's voice is like crystal clear and with an incredible range.

It will never happen as the guy who runs the RnR HOF has a bias against certain groups/musicians

People need to stop bringing up the hall of shame. who gives a shit. his increasable success tells the story

[@fredsinger3894]

Man This is truly amazing. Burtons voice was peaking at this point. Most definitely one of the greatest voices to ever perform on a stage. I so would love Burton to come to the States .Please Burton Make my & my wife’s dream a reality

[@gomogo2000]

He's on tour in U.S. now. We're seeing him in Milwaukee 3/25. CAN'T WAIT!!!

[@ifkncantbelieveit]

I love the way Burton heaps praise on Ray ,and gets him singing , that was awesome, what a humble man , both of them

[@cryslovesmusic]

His voice...so beautiful and that is an understatement.

Wow. This is priceless. Ray Charles and Burton Cummings singing off the cuff...and Dinah Shore was one classy woman.

[@soundandrhythm]

Dinah was so good, I remember when I was growing up my mom would have her show playing on the T.V. Dinah looked very young for her age. Burton, Ray and George all in one show WOW!

[@aliciahager2961]

Dinah Shore was always gracious in whatever she was doing; here as a hostess is an excellent example. This is quite a lineup of guests: George Carlin, Ray Charles and Burton Cummings. Shore, in her own right, was an excellent singer.

[@RayGoettler]

Burton has an extraordinary vocal range.

[@radiovixen76]

I loved every second of this, especially that amazing moment when Burton and Ray Charles were singing together. WOW!!!!

[@nolby1758]

A proud Winnipegger here, very proud to say (and Burton too) we call Winnipeg home. The fact Winnipeg produced one of the greatest, voices, underrated bands that deserves to no end to be in the Rock n Roll hall of fame. What a voice!

[@antonnym214]

That is awesome he got to sit next to Ray Charles! And Ray heard his performance. Really a once-in-a-lifetime event. Well done, Burton!

[@PLS.54]

I watched Burton and the band perform for my first time in Toronto in 1967. With his looks, and vocals, I knew he would be going places! Here we are today, 55yrs later, I still listen 🎧 to that voice! Canadians never underrated Burton’s genius!

She ran a good show. That was a nice segment. Only Cummings is still "standing tall." Miss the others a lot.

[@gtrdoc911]

Wow. What a master interviewer Dinah was. Engaged all 3 guests at the same time.

[@joe-vz6hx]

Holy damn. George Carlin, Ray Charles, and Burton Cummings....I guarantee Dinah Shore never had such a wealth of talent on her show at one time before or after. One of the greatest comedians ever, one of the greatest musical talents ever, and one of the if not the greatest rock singers ever. What a gem of a video, thanks for this

[@Sodonewithchaos]

Anyone notice how nice, decent, calm and truly real these people are? What has happened to us since 1976? Jimmy Carter was President…I had such high hopes then as a 10 year old kid 😢

It's a pretty short list of musical legends that had the level of control on their voice to maintain the emotion of such top-notch lyrics. Cummings is absolute musical royalty.

[@lmb4876]

Burton was 30 yrs old then.. we ALL looked good when we were that age! But, his voice is amazing and he is very cute!

[@ComeLetusReasonEvangalism]

The ability of Dinah and her guests to so beautifully and intelligently articulate their thoughts and feelings so the audience understands and is almost part of the conversation. Sadly, we seldom see this level of conversational depth in today's performers.

[@debliedel]

I still play this album all the time!! Thank you Burton for all your music!

[@dcrot9109]

his voice is fantastic , his music & songs also. heard him in concert several times . with the (guess who) when he was younger, later solo & throughout his career. The concert was in an arena and he sounded amazingly just as he does right here singing on Dinah shore's show ..

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.
