The Guess Who charted fourteen Top 40 singles in the United States and more than thirty in Canada.
The Guess Who found their greatest success in the late 60s and early 70s, under the leadership of singer/keyboardist Burton Cummings and guitarist Randy Bachman, with hit songs including “American Woman”, “These Eyes”, “No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature”, and “No Time”.
