The Guess Who is a Canadian rock band formed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, in 1958. The group achieved its greatest commercial success between 1969 and 1972 with songs such as "American Woman", "These Eyes", "No Time", "Laughing", and "Share the Land". During this period, they released multiple studio albums that charted in both Canada and the United States. The 1970 album "American Woman" reached number 1 in both countries, and several other releases reached the top ten in Canada. The band also achieved numerous Top 40 singles in both Canada and the United States. The group originated as Al and the Silvertones, formed by Chad Allan in 1958. After several lineup changes, the band became Chad Allan and the Reflections in 1962, featuring Allan, Randy Bachman, Jim Kale, Garry Peterson, and Bob Ashley. They released early singles with limited regional success before changing their name to Chad Allan and the Expressions. Their 1965 single "Shakin' All Over", originally recorded by Johnny Kidd & the Pirates, became a major hit in Canada and reached the charts internationally. The single was initially credited to "Guess Who?" as part of a promotional campaign, leading to the adoption of the name. In 1966, Burton Cummings joined the band as keyboardist and vocalist, soon becoming the sole lead singer after Allan’s departure. The group released "It's Time" in 1966 and gained further exposure as a house band on Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio and television programs. Their associati
