American Woman

Arguably, the best Canadian single of all time, Burton Cummings and The Guess Who secured their place in the world music scene back in 1970. The song is controversial in its lyrics, written when times were turbulent, and I have put into this video some of what they say to me.

Come Go with Me

One of the best doo-wop songs ever recorded. The Dell Vikings (sometimes spelled "Del" and sometimes hyphenated) embody the spirit and excitement of the 50's in their 1957 hit.

I Got You, Babe

Sonny and Cher's 1965 number one hit. The duo was universally loved. Their split was deeply felt by millions all over the world who tuned in every week to watch their unique show. To this day, I get a pang in my chest whenever I think about how great the two were together and how sad it was for all of us to be a party to that separation.
