No doubt, a personal favorite. The first hit for the Guess Who, except it sorta wasn't them. Chad Allan and the Expressions recorded this in their native Winnipeg, but some wiseass at the label printed the band name as "Guess Who?" to fool people into thinking it was a mystery act, possibly English. It went to #1 in Canada, almost made the Top 20 in America, the name stuck, Burton Cummings joined, Chad Allan left, they dropped the ?, succeeded in the Great White North and made it big in the US in '69 with "These Eyes." First concert I ever attended in 1971 was this group. A 1960 British hit for Johnny Kidd and the Pirates - best band name EVER!
