A
Winnipeg band called Chad Allan and the Expressions, who put "Guess Who?"
on their 1965
45 of "Shakin' All Over" (a
garage band classic) - these were the days before
Canadian content mandates. The ploy worked, so they changed their name. Allan left, 1966, later to resurface in
Brave Belt; Burton Cummings replaced him. It's a long way from those raw early 45s to the
exquisite pop of "These Eyes", the raunch of the live "American Woman"
(no wonder Randy Bachman quit), and "Sour Suite".
