The 'Guess Who' are a Canadian Rock Band from Winnipeg with Hits like 'These Eyes' - 'American Woman' & 'No Time' [videos below]
The Guess Who are a Canadian rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Initially gaining recognition in Canada, the group also found international success from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s with numerous hit singles, including "No Time", "American Woman", "These Eyes" and "Share the Land".
Several former members of The Guess Who, notably Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, have found considerable success outside the band. Formed as a garage rock/rhythm and blues group during the rise of British beat, their musical style primarily consisted of pop rock, blues rock, psychedelic rock and hard rock.
The band was inducted into The Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1987. In 2002, Randy Bachman, Burton Cummings, Garry Peterson, Donnie McDougall and Bill Wallace received the Governor General's Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement, Canada's highest honour in the performing arts, for The Guess Who's contribution to popular music in Canada.

On August 8, 1999, Cummings, Bachman, Kale and Peterson reunited once again in response to a personal request from the Premier of Manitoba.
The following year, Cummings, Bachman, Kale and Peterson were joined by Don McDougall as they were offered a reunion tour. In the meantime, the current lineup of Dixon/Shaw/Russell/Sinnaeve continued to tour, finishing up already booked dates with drummer Charlie Cooley filling in for Peterson, who was rehearsing for the reunion tour with the others.
The reunion led to a cross-Canada and US tour for the band beginning in 2000, although health problems precluded Kale's involvement.
Bill Wallace, who was Kale's replacement in 1972, was brought in as his successor once again and this line-up of the band played and toured regularly through the end of 2003. A live album and DVD release, Running Back Thru Canada, followed the 2000 tour.
The Guess Who continue to perform live dates on a regular basis.
