I’ve seen Burton more times than I can count. Saw him this September. Sounds just like he did in the 70s. Most humble entertainer ever. Makes you proud to be Canadian
I met Burton backstage at the Majestic in Ventura, CA. He was a very nice gentleman; humble and sincere. I have most everything he's recorded - and I agree, this is one of the best - in a long list of bests! Bless you Burton for decades of great, great music! I love your wheatfield soul!
Burton Cummings music and voice touches my soul. He is one of Canada's greatest national treasures. Even though I have never met this artistic genius, I admire and appreciate him more than I can express in words.
I bought this album back in ' 78 . Now that I am 62 this one means more then ever . Some things do get better with age . I love Brenda Lee Brenda Lee loves me . I will never forget the boys from Bannatyne ' 71 . Sour Suite is still a gem .
Back in the the 90's, i was at a Karaoke bar when a guy came in and whisper something to the Host and next thing you know Burton Cumming's was on stage. People was screaming "American woman" instead he sung "Beyond the sea". He did a excellent job but, left just as he finish singing one song. This was in Richmond BC, in Canada. He is a humble and and very easy going kinda guy, shook our hands and left.... :D
truly, truly heaven sent... saw him sing 'american woman' live at garfield park, indpls. in. when i was a girl. sounds as beautiful live as in the studio. not too many composers, vocalists nor lyricists that can hold a candle to him today.
I love the words to this song, so childlike in places, standing on the corner kissing Brenda Lee. I think I burned a groove in my copy as I do with all my copies of his music. Has there ever been such a voice????
@@irishwitch6642 Hello Irish, how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌹
Not many more versatile singers in rock 'n roll than Burton Cummings he can do it all...ballads, rockers, scat whatever this guy is probably the most talented musician this side of Glenn Gould to come out of Canada
It was hard to believe this was the same guy 8 years before singing hits like American Woman No Time No Sugar Tonight New Mother Nature Hand Me Down World to name a few . Burton's heart will always be with the Guess Who . A ten year 14 album association with RCA records that I truly feel he never was able to break away from . When Burton broke up the Guess Who in September of ' 75 he was only 28 and toured the world five times with that band . God to be so young what do you do for an encore .
beautiful song. once you hear it it just doesn't leave your head. no better singer any where.he can just do anything with that voice. awesome album !if you don't have it, get it. you won't regret it. love you burton
TY, Burton, for finally realeasing this to YT. We are loving it, and we are loving to hear your voice, again. What a great range you have! Beautiful, just beautiful. Thanks for sharing this with us again, Burton.
I bought this album shortly after it came out as I really liked the Guess Who back in the day. This song is amazing as others have said earlier and Cummings excellent vocals and the interesting lyrics really shine here. Now I would love to understand what he was thinking when he wrote this, that would seal the deal.
Well I can see by your icon exactly your mindset and your politics. Oh, your name is fairly big clue as well. Trolling the web and being filthy nasty. Hey enjoy yourself, life is good if you don't waste it. Oh, and honestly, thanks for informing me about the song writer. And I am still very curious what drove him to write this great song. And I never stated Cummings wrote the song, just found the story in it interesting.
Hey there Robert I think you are wasting your breath on a troll. But maybe he/ she can inflate the latest date in its life. To piss and moan about someone with talent like Burton Cummings displayed shows you and I what a waste of time filthy Phil is. Btw the ones who spawned that are probably extremely embarrassed 🇨🇦🎷🎶👍
In 1982, when I was but fledgling in Toronto's burgeoning TV/Film industry, I worked on a movie entitled 'Melanie'. Burton played a musician (really?). Paul Servino, Don Johnson and Glyins O'Connor were also present. There was a scene in an auditorium where Burton's character Rick performed a concert. It was staged at Ryerson University's grand hall. During re-sets (camera & lighting) Burton did not just sit around in a trailer and get pampered. No, he stayed on stage and played to the 200 + crowd of extras. He kept it up for 10 hours. A true talent, gentleman and a blessing to the Canadian music scene. I still hearken back whenever I hear his songs.
@memyk9:It was not only just a great album back in it's day,it was a tremendous album yesterday,today & will be tomorrow! That's the way I look at music anyways,it's timeless I feel. I don't follow the trends & one hit wonder kinda bands. Its very hard to find a band nowadays that put out a kick ass album from start to finish,so many bands now are just looking to make that one great hit song & ride it for all it's worth & then go make another quick album so they can get back out there again & t
Up until now, I had no idea that Burton didn’t write the song. I looked up the songwriter, and listened to his version, and I think the songwriter sounds better singing it than he does. I think Burton should’ve stuck to writing his own songs, and performing his own material, because it suits his singing and playing style better. I guess Burton had writer’s block when he made the album, so he decided to go to the “song finding machine” as he puts it to get some filler for his records.
I’ve seen Burton more times than I can count. Saw him this September. Sounds just like he did in the 70s. Most humble entertainer ever. Makes you proud to be Canadian
We love your music an have since the 70s... we are listening to your beautiful music tonight ❤️❤️
It's not often a single performance grants one admission to Rock & Roll Heaven, but there you have it folks...
Burton, you just keep on keeping on. Thank you for another song that touches my soul. Lord bless you.
Very proud to live in Winnipeg, Burton's hometown. We produce more than cold weather and mosquitoes!! One of the best voices in modern music.
Charisma !! ... It's amazing how music stays with you till the end and brings you back to your best memories..
Absolutely adore this song it brings me to tears every time I've ever heard it love Burton Cummings❤

Burton has been an idol since a child! May his voice resonate forever!
Burton Cummings music and voice touches my soul. He is one of Canada's greatest national treasures. Even though I have never met this artistic genius, I admire and appreciate him more than I can express in words.
The man is a genius, with the best voice ever

I'm glad you enjoy, this was a very good album back in it's day...

He's a master on the piano and a voice that can't be matched
Wow, Burton there is no one better! Burton, you are simply are the best! What a godly voice! No wonder so people around the world love you!

A voice of such beauty, intensity and depth like no other. He owns what he sings and carries you along with him. I would follow this voice anywhere.
Youre a good looking witch!
lol...Why thank you. And I have excellent tastes in singers :)

Hard to believe this entire album was a flop, With such a beautiful voice and incredible piano playing, truly beautiful.

This man is a treasure. Straight forward singing with a great voice and story telling that takes you back to your childhood

Hello Peggy, how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌹
The "Yeah" is the perfect ending for this song
Motivational ; strength, and shortcomings, tremendous.

Super voice!
Tks man,great music! from the north end sals.
Burton Cummings awsome vocals I love all his tunes.even though he's Canadian Just kidding I love his tunes also with the guess who
I resemble that remark!

He didn't write this. David Forman did.
Filthy McNasty big deal. What have you done with your life. probably not much

This was our high school grad theme song back in 1979.
I can't wait to See Burton LIVE on 2 Nov.!!!
Hello Linda, how're you doing, I hope you are doing fine. I'm David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real Country girl😊🌹
