"Four Strong Winds" #60 Pop and #3 Country 11/28/1964

Don't let the #60 chart position fool you. This was written and originally recorded by Ian and Sylvia, and CBC Radio has declared their version the all-time #1 homegrown Canadian song ever. They were among the first to record songs written by Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot. Bobby Bare put out a slightly more uptempo version in late '64, and although it didn't do that well on the US pop charts, it became a Top Five country hit for him.
