The Guess Who
The Way They Were…
The Guess Who are a Canadian rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba, known for their success in the late 1960s and early 1970s. They released eleven studio albums, with hits like “American Woman,” “No Time,” “These Eyes,” and “No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature.” During their most successful period, the band was led by Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, accompanied by Jim Kale on bass and Garry Peterson on drums. After Bachman left in 1970, Kurt Winter joined, and the band continued to produce chart-topping songs. The Guess Who disbanded in 1975 but reunited for tours in 1983 and 2000-2003.
