The Guess Who

Friday, March 7th, 2008

The Guess Who formed in 1963 in Winnipeg, Manitoba.  In 1970, the Guess Who released the cuttingly sarcastic riff-rocker “American Woman,” which, given its anti-American putdowns, ironically became their only U.S. number one hit!  The album of the same name became their first U.S. Top Ten and first gold album, and the group performed for President and Mrs. Nixon and Prince Charles at the White House. (Pat Nixon requested that “American Woman” be dropped from the set list.)  The lineup from the Guess Who’s glory years reunited in 1983, and a version of the group with constantly shifting musicians (occasionally original members) continues to tour.
