    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.

    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🎼🎶🎼💜

      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.

    I watch this video just to hear Burton sing, Ray's song "Thats Enough"! Singing "acapella" and in tune is impressive!
    Burton is so tall, dark & handsome with the best voice!🎵🎹🎼🎶🎤
    Burton's voice was what made The Guess Who successful!❤. along with great band members. Especially Randy Bachman & Kurt Winters. Garry Peterson on drums!
