Burton Cummings Sings His Hit Songs on the Howard Stern Show (1994)

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

The Guess Who is one of my top five all time favorite groups. And Burton Cummings is one of my top five all time singers.

[@stevefuji1548]

He was one of the greatest voices of rock 'n roll.

[@stevefuji1548]

And it's often forgotten what a great keyboard player he was also.

[@canconservative8976]

Still is....

[@burtoncummings2969]

Thank you for your sincere compliment, love and support I’m nothing without you as my fan ❤️. And I appreciate your comments on my KZbin channel

[@viralone3373]

One of the most underrated male singers from our generation.

[@jayvonck3311]

Underrated??? Not so much

[@billygunn7180]

Yeah, he had one of the greatest voices of all time.

[@bobabooey4537]

I like him more than Elton John or Billy Joel in terms of piano players who sing. Elton and Billy are superstars but Burtons has better songs, and more of them imo.

[@popguy68]

Burton is like Elton John and Robert Plant rolled into one. Seriously, he is one of the greatest rock singers of all time--criminally underrated!

[@crisprtalk6963]

Imagine being 21 and having These Eyes, Laughing, and Undun under your belt already. Man.

[@kathrynjarlov5166]

What a voice, still.

[@michaelhunziker7287]

Dude is amazing

[@muskwa7686]

Why isn't this man in the rock and roll hall of fame

[@chrisl2285]

One of the best vocalists of all time.

[@paulmartos7730]

Why isn't this guy recognized as the huge talent he is?

[@markthompson8588]

This guy doesn’t need auto tune......he sounds exactly like the original recordings ......nothing to produce.. turn the tape on and record.....simply beautiful

[@Semiam1]

Helluva artist and great voice

[@youarethecreator1]

This was great.

[@brianmcdonald248]

A true Canadian Legend! Proudly Canadian!👍

[@MP-zb9vm]

Tremendous vocals and song writing. Should be in RR hall of fame

[@kdavis63]

One of my favorite bands of all time...

[@buffdoc46]

He's so damb good. No electronic pitch control needed. Very underrated

[@doreenhansen840]

Oh fuck yeah in the Rock N Roll hall of fame Absolutely 😊❤️

[@donaldwilliam6498]

Hi dear how are are you doing over there ?

[@generalpatzer6893]

"These Eyes" and "American Woman" were massive hits in the USA. Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman are legends.

[@JoBisbee]

I drank many of beers to these songs. Great bar music.

[@Trumpsterfire101]

They wrote “These eyes” when Burton was living with his Mom and Grandma and the pounded it out in 20 minutes on Grandma’s piano in Wpg.

[@georgejungle7521]

Burton Cummings is a national treasure.

[@ddswong]

And that my friends, is what a musical genius looks like !!!!!

[@thepavementendsnow1901]

I could listen to Burton all day long...one of the greatest vocalists of all time, should have been in the hall a long time ago! 🥌on Burton! 🎹

[@anthonyantanaitis1720]

These Eyes is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Guess Who so underrated

[@SB-rs8te]

Totally agree. I was hoping he would do These Eyes but he didn’t. One of my all-time favorite songs.

[@pandagirl9096]

Burton you rock, plain and simple. Stand tall my man!

[@PeterAlanA1234567890]

What a bunch of great songs

[@xTheFly]

Burton stayed in the hotel I was a bartender at, he peeked his head in around the corner and asked if he could come into my lounge that wasn't open yet. Of course I obliged. He was a very unassuming and kind man. Was a huge honour to serve him.

[@celyl]

Burton Cummings is an icon!

[@KenMac-ui2vb]

I know it's said all the time, but he truly was one of the most UNDERRATED musicians of all time.

[@Jdizzle6969]

Damn... he’s the real deal!

[@barbaralynch3015]

Saw Burton at the Bottom Line in NYC in 1977. I can honestly say that was the best show I ever saw!!!

[@klippe19]

I grew up with the Guess Who. They were the best Canadian band ever and paved the way for all that followed. They quite simply made great rock and roll music.

[@David-gv3wx]

Imagine, riffing pieces of all these songs pitch-perfect at 7:00 in the morning and not even getting to some of their biggest hits, "These Eyes," "No Time," "Hand Me Down World," "Clap For The Wolfman," and "Rain Dance." Now THAT'S a catalog!

[@chrave1956]

His voice makes me cry ...

[@marklittle8805]

Burton Cummings was one half of Canada's version of Lennon and McCartney with Randy Bachman. They were terrific apart but the Guess Who was just magic

[@Mellonpopr]

wow what a voice

[@HermanSays]

So bloody talented yet probably the most underrated singer ever.

[@OutOnTheTiles]

J. Sterling .....such a great voice. ✌️🇨🇦

[@canadianroot]

J. Sterling When did the ratings come out?

[@deborahperry5228]

Sooo agree

[@traceyc2576]

I agree totally!

[@charlieross-BRM]

Nobody underrates Burton Cummings. He's got the awards to prove it and still working. His voice is about as versatile as they come for pop, rock, ballads. Just listen to him play around on this show. He can put more expression into one line than many of today's stars manage in an entire song.

[@johnshannon9656]

"Undun" is one of the greatest rock songs ever. Excellent chord changes.

[@moreme40]

John Shannon , I read the chords were Chet Atkins inspired

[@Cl3moh]

He and Randy Bachman used to hang around with Lenny Breau when they were in school and Randy used to cut school to jam with Lenny. Undun really has a lot of Lenny's influence in there!

[@markbrophy5454]

Undun isn't a rock song, it's jazz. Since you like it, you should check out Take Five, Till There Was You by the Beatles, and Winter Wonderland.

[@roelhoremans5887]

Yeaaah, always had a thing for Secret Agent Man as well. 😎

[@charlieross-BRM]

:) One of the few songs I like that was written by "the other guy" Randy Bachman. It didn't come across much like Randy's usual traditional rock beats.

[@GreekInThe6ix]

Amazing how this version of “Stand Tall” is my favourite.

[@Riverdeepnwide]

Damn what a voice! This guy wrote and sang the stories of our growing up. Love 'em!

[@foothilldave]

Wow - I forgot how many Guess Who songs I used to love until this genius strung them together. American Woman one of my all time favorite rockers.

[@elizabethfiorito1287]

DESPERATELY IN LOVE WITH THIS VOICE! The Guess Who has to be one of the most underplayed and underrated bands of all time. Burton Cummings is a God!

[@burtoncummings2969]

Thank you for your sincere compliment, love and support I’m nothing without you as my fan ❤️. And I appreciate your comments on my KZbin channel

[@umracn9429]

He’s a Canadian icon. One of the greatest musicians of our time. Unbelievable talent...hit after hit...right up there with Geddy Lee.

[@dannyburch2122]

What a Voice!

[@veronaraven3099]

Spent my college years on the Canadian border listening to Ottawa radio....we heard a lot of them... Burton at the end of "No Time" is the best!

[@williambrown6721]

I grew up with these guys....mr.cummings you my brother are the best!!!

[@doreenhansen840]

You got it you mentioned the Vietnam war. Beautiful you and Randy Bachman. You stole my heart ❤️ years ago 17

[@canuckdybdahl]

Underrated writer and performer

[@samuelbasye3508]

That was so f*cking good! 👏🏼👌🏼

[@harrierha]

What a terrific vocalist and wonderful song writer.

[@daveblais2701]

Still waiting for the Guess Who to be inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame.

[@buildtalibanbackbetter5923]

My dads favorite band bought a brick at the rock and roll hall of fame and instead of having his and my moms name on it on the walkway in somewhere, he put the guess who should be in here. Grew up on this band

[@dallasbrubaker6054]

You mean they aren't?

[@meltedplasticarmyguy]

It will most likely happen when there is only one left. You see how they did it with The Moody Blues. There are many classic bands/artists constantly being denied.

[@BeatlesCentricUniverse]

Come on, the Rock'n'roll Hall of Fame is a stupid thing that should not exist. It means nothing.

[@2340Vegas]

"When friends fall out."

[@brianmchale6668]

OUTSTANDING.

[@cinematic35]

All the real talent was in that era. The artistic compositions and melodic themes of that era though half a century ago are superior to anything on the radio today!

[@dopeytripod]

what a voice....proud to be a Canadian

[@ArcaneWeasel]

What a voice and still has it. Such an artist and entertainer.

[@dianamarie1652]

So beautiful

[@iDONTdoFacebook]

WORLD CLASS VOCALS. Burton Cummings has been my ALL TIME FAVORITE vocalist for decades. And that has not changed! WHAT A VOICE!!! The unequaled, UNMISTAKEABLE Burton Cummings.

[@mattdaggett3695]

Great singer

[@estatehomes]

Burton is without a shadow of a doubt a Hall of Famer thru & thru...

[@matthewsewellmontegut3691]

One of the most recognizable and the most beautiful voice that rock and roll was to know!! And for him to get up there at 7 o'clock in the morning, knowing he is not at his best, and him to share his songs with us, says a lot about this man! Wow Burton Cummings, thank you for the memories! 🎹🎹🎹

[@U2WB]

Wow. I get chills listening to him all by himself. What a great voice, great talent.

[@freeman7079]

God, I wish pop music was still this good..

[@antarcticorb9197]

This guy is pure talent...what a musical genius!

[@scottburton9701]

Burton Cummings is an outstanding singer!

[@patriciaderouin8820]

I am an "American Woman" and even the comments he made about us I believe he has one of the best Rock Voices.

[@bbcala9719]

What a singer song writer. We had such great artists like Burton

[@dred311]

Still sounds great.

[@karb58benefits]

Amazing song writer

[@douglusk1627]

one of the great singer/songwriters of all-time!! thank you Burton!!

[@BarriePoole]

I wish he played some Sour Suite. a beautiful tune. everyone should find that one and have a listen... gives me goosebumps

[@dalekidd420]

Growing up in Canada during that time, these songs were standard airplay... I can sing all of them without even thinking about it, and that was 45 years or so ago.

[@quietwoodworking]

Me too, except I grew up in the southwest US.

[@tyee4u]

Dale Kidd yup. Victoria born and raised on Guess Who 💪

[@jdsuertudo]

Word

[@Cheek1969]

Yep I grew up in Canada in the 70's.....heard his voice all the time u

[@brewer9565]

One of the best vocalists in rock music. Burton’s collaboration with Randy Bachman was magic and The Guess Who were never better than when Randy was still with the group. Bachman’s jazzy chord changes and guitar playing as influenced by the great Lenny Breau was a perfect compliment to Burton’s vocal inflections and fantastic range. The combination is most evident on Undun where Bachman’s jazzy chord changes are a perfect match with Burton’s vocal. The Guess Who absolutely belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@phoarey]

Yes

[@slydawwg]

Lenny was brilliant , never Bachman, .... the two should never be mentioned in the same sentence... Cheers

[@moneymakerbanditsports8423]

Now This is Real Talent..No Auto-Tune..Can play a musical instrument..

[@robertmichalscheck3072]

rj zander who gives a shit.

[@danieldaniels7571]

rj zander not like he needed it

[@elaineevans4467]

He can play several instruments. A true talent, not to mention his incredible songwriting ability!

[@charlieross-BRM]

@rj zander LOL. I knew there was a secret to it. BTW, Cummings released a few songs from home during the COVID-19 self-isolation. You might find them on Facebook. Damn, 72 years old and can still sing and play well enough it's not patronizing to say he sounds good.

[@johnconnor4953]

Writes his own songs.

[@joe34096]

This is incredible. Absolutely amazing.

[@islepaint4801]

Great Guest!

[@R_M.P]

One of the greatest rock vocalists in history. With all their awesome hits, The Guess Who should easily be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

[@jamestcallahanphotographer]

Burton is a f***ing genius. Used to see him solo at the Garden State Arts Center in New Jersey in the mid-70s. A brilliant talent.

[@mdelaubergine8930]

Talented man. One of the best rock voices I have ever heard. Under-rated band, the GW.

[@We_are_the_light]

Burton ... Legend

[@chuckc7375]

A very excellent writer of songs, and sings them excellently as well.

[@HELPINGTHEBLINDSEE]

This interview is fantastic. Burton is a masterful songwriter and Howard is a great interviewer. The best. 90s Stern was the best. Classic.

[@TheArtOfLove]

He’s my favorite male vocalist. I’ve seen him in concert 7 times and was lucky enough to also meet him!

I heard that back in the day when Robert Plant was asked who his favorite vocalist was he said Burton Cummings.

[@glenkeating7333]

Look in the above posts that I just made. You're right. He did say that. That's what I was referring to.

Awesome. I always thought they had similar tone and range...not unlike Eddie Vedder and Scott Wieland.

[@kenburton5999]

The Guess Who were an amazing band. Burton is up there with Gordon Lightfoot as one of our Canadian songwriting legends. Next stop RnR Hall of Fame!!!
