"A Few Good Moments" So: how much of a legend is the Winnipeg-born Burton Cummings? Well, let's just start with these few facts and we'll work our way backwards. He's been inducted into both the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. He's been named as an officer of the Order of Canada and both the Burton Cummings Theatre and the Burton Cummings Community Centre in Winnipeg are named after him. I mean, should we even keep going? We will, but there's no need. Legend status full cemented. But here's more: Cummings joined The Guess Who as a young lad of 18 and within a few years the band was an international sensation. They're the first Canadian act to land an American Number One with American Woman, and they had a wildly successful run of albums including Wheatfield Soul and Share The Land. After the band dissolved in 1975, Cummings launched a solo career that was decidedly huge. His first effort yielded the massive single Stand Tall, which sold over a million copies in the United States alone. He's put out close to ten albums, snagged six Juno awards, put out a book of poetry, sang background vocals for Eric Carmen, got a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame, did some acting and toured the world. He's got a new album on the way and we chat about that plus a whole lot more. The fact is, he has one of the most powerful voices in music history--it's a brilliant balance of muscle and soul and his vocal precision is practically peerless. I want to say this before we begin--Burton Cummings may be a legend, but his kindness is as legendary as his achievements--he's one of the nicest guys ever, www.burtoncummings.com www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Hello and welcome to episode 69 of Sing! Dance! Act! Thrive!I’m going to start the show with a little-known fact… For most of my life, I tiptoed around in order to go unnoticed. I was passionate about the performing arts, however, I was way too shy to become a performer. As a photographer, makeup artist, journalist, artist manager, and publicist I could remain behind the scenes, but becoming a coach changed that for me. As a creativity coach, we dig deep into core values, limiting beliefs, and personal motivation for achieving goals. Encouraging my clients to show up authentically, to share vulnerabilities, and to push through their comfort zones motivates me to lead by example and do the same. Now when I notice I am procrastinating on something I examine the why behind it, what fear or limiting belief am I holding on to? Then I work to push through. And I’m grateful for the change! Listeners have heard me say before that the reason I got into coaching was out of frustration that too many artists were coming to me for publicity before they were really ready. In order to get media attention these days, you need a professional brand, interesting stories, and an active social media following. Through coaching I can guide you through developing those step by step, however, lately, I’m realizing that in my attempts to give the people what they want which is for me to teach them about social media and dyi publicity that I’ve started to allow clients to again skip over the foundational work. The foundation is personal branding which is all about expressing your authentic self in all its glory. It is exploring and celebrating your personality, interests, life experiences, core values, beliefs, skills, strengths, and even your weaknesses. It is deeply personal work that I believe strongly that you can’t have long-lasting success if you skip it. I’m sharing this because it is good to take a step back and remember the why behind your vision and notice if you are going off track. So you may notice on the podcast or things I share on social media that I’m going to return to focus on the foundations more so than giving you social media and publicity tips. My guest today knows all about sticking to your vision so much so that Stick to your vision has grown from a song that he wrote and recorded to a book to Ted talks to being a major part of his personal and professional brand. Maestro Fresh Wes is a multi-award-winning recording artist, and the first Canadian Hip Hop artist to have a single hit Gold status on the charts. His iconic 1989 album Symphony In Effect was the first to receive a JUNO Award for Best Rap Recording of the Year, as well as the first Canadian Hip Hop album to go Platinum. A true pioneer, he was also the first Canadian hip hop artist to have a song rank on Billboard’s Top 20 Rap Singles chart, and in 2019 “Let Your Backbone Slide” became the first rap song inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.Maestro’s songs “Reach For The Sky (feat. Classified and Blue Rodeo)” and “The Distance (feat. Saukrates)” were featured throughout the Olympics, 2014 Winter, and 2016 Summer, respectively.As an actor, Williams has appeared on numerous film and television projects, including The Line — for which he was nominated for a Gemini Award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Supporting Role in a Dramatic Series — and as the character of Paul Dwyer in the CBC hit sitcom, Mr. D. He has been inducted into the Scarborough Walk of Fame, received the 2003 Reel World Film Festival Trailblazer Award, and was a guest speaker for the Governor-General of Canada’s Summit on Urban Arts. Williams’ paths as both an author and motivational speaker merged with the release of his motivational book, Stick To Your Vision with its foreword written by Public Enemy’s Chuck D, and content long-credited for inspiring fellow Canadian hip hop star Drake.Canada’s indisputable Godfather of hip hop has just unveiled his newest release — an inspirational children’s book, Stick To Your Vision: Young Maestro Goes to School.How is that for an introduction…the man is a legend and a super sweet guy too. I hope you enjoy our conversation.Links and a transcript visit http://singdanceactthrive.com/069
On this edition of the Richard Crouse Show Podcast we meet singer, songwriter and now author Kat Goldman. Her book "Off the Charts: What I Learned From My Almost-Fabulous Life in Music" is a funny and heartfelt look at what it's like to meet your first fan, date a rock star (never again!), perform in a grocery store, and rebuild your career after getting hit by a car in a bagel shop. Then, did you know "It's Raining Men," the 1982 disco hit by the Weather Girls, is part Canadian? The upbeat song, which was just inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, was written by Donna Summer's songwriter Paul Jabara and the Toronto-born musician and former band leader of Late Show with David Letterman, Paul Shaffer, who joins me from Los Angeles. Finally, blogger, columnist, and media personality Perez Hilton, Francesca Bacardi senior Reporter at PageSix.com and reality television personality Roxy Earle, discuss the public's appetite for gossip.
Terry Draper was one third of the infamous Canadian band who the world thought was really the Beatles. As a young boy, he shared a room with his Uncle who was only a few years his senior & the two would spend a lot of time listening to early rock & roll records together after school. So he was already a fan of the music by the time the Beatles stormed North America on the Ed Sullivan show, & like so many others was inspired by the Fab Four to pick up an instrument.Having previously played in a bar band with Dee Long & John Woloschuk , he was their natural choice to complete the band Klaatu once they started recording their first album. A recent inductee into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for his co writing the huge hit "Calling all occupants", Terry has done a lot of things outside the music including being a roofer & general handyman. However, He has never stopped recording new music. We discuss all this & more during this episode.
Canadian rockabilly legend Jack Scott has died from congestive heart failure in suburban Detroit. He was 84 years old. According to old radio buddy Warren Cosford, between June of 1958 and November of 1961, Jack Scott had 19 records on the Billboard charts. Eight of the 12 songs on his first LP became hit singles. Only Justin Bieber has done as well. This interview was recorded in 1986 at The Legends Of Rock'nRoll show at EXPO 86. Jack had never played Vancouver before, as airline travel was rare in those days and it was simply easier to stick to his home in Windsor. Despite his hits, Jack's career suffered from poor management and he changed record labels frequently. Jack was a guest performer at Brenda Lee's induction into the Rockabilly Hall of Fame at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville in 2001. I was at the show and I was surprised to bump into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame president Terry Stewart. He told me he'd come from Cleveland just to see Jack Scott perform. He was a huge fan! Jack Scott was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2011. Enjoy the interview, and please take some time to enjoy the sound of a true rock pioneer. RIP Jack!
The Allan Waters Young Broadcaster Award, (a tribute to Steve Young) will be announced this week. It goes to a Canadian broadcaster under the age of 30 for their creative contributions on radio and in the community. Past winners include Fearless Fred, Amanda Logan, Rena Jae, Adam Wylde and others. It made me wonder how much younger broadcasters know about Steve and his contributions to radio in North America. So I called up JJ Johnston, someone who knew him very well, and had him paint a picture of the kind of radio Steve created, the impact on the people he mentored, and the kind of person he was. As JJ put it on this podcast, Steve was simply the best radio programmer to ever come out of Canada. He mentored many, including many on air performers as well as future programmers. JJ also put me in touch with Vanessa Thomas from Boom 97.3 and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame who worked under Steve's tutelage.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Music Superstar, Burton CummingsAbout Harvey's guest:Today's guest, Burton Cummings, guest is a legendary singer, songwriter, and recording artist whose stellar body of work over almost 6 decades, is timeless. His voice is widely considered to be one of the greatest and finest voices in the history of rock music. As lead singer and songwriter for “The Guess Who”, he recorded a string of international hit singles including “American Woman,” “These Eyes,” “Laughing,” “No Time,” “Share the Land,” “No Sugar Tonight,” “Clap for the Wolfman”, and many more great songs, all written or co-written by our guest. The Guess Who was the first Canadian group to reach #1 on the Billboard charts, and they were the first to have a platinum-selling album in the U.S., with sales of more than a million records. After the group disbanded in 1975, our guest embarked on an even more spectacular solo career, with a whole slew of hit singles and gold records including “Stand Tall,” “I'm Scared,” “My Own Way to Rock,” “I Will Play a Rhapsody,” “Timeless Love,” “Break It to Them Gently,” “Dream of a Child,” and “You Saved My Soul”, which earned him a Genie Award when it was featured in the movie, “Melanie”, in which he co-starred. His brilliant 1978 album, “Dream of a Child” became the first quadruple platinum-selling album by a Canadian artist. He has also published 2 volumes of poetry. The list of accolades this man has received is truly jaw dropping. He's won 5 RPM Awards, 6 Juno Awards, 22 SOCAN Awards and 3 SOCAN Classic Awards, 3 BMI America Awards, and the Genie Award that I already mentioned. He's received an honorary doctorate from Brandon University in his home province of Manitoba, and he's also been named to the Order of Manitoba. And in 2009 he was named an Officer of the Order of Canada. He's received TWO stars on Canada's Walk of Fame – one as a member of The Guess Who, and one as a solo artist. He's been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame AND the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and he's the recipient of the SOCAN lifetime achievement award. And although he is a global superstar and a member of rock ‘n' roll royalty, here in Canada he is our very own national treasure and a living legend. He's currently on a North American tour playing to sold out audiences, but he's taken time out of his very busy schedule to appear on our show.For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/To learn more about Burton Cummings, go to:https://www.burtoncummings.com/https://www.facebook.com/burtoncummingshttps://www.instagram.com/burtoncummings/https://x.com/burtoncummingshttps://www.tiktok.com/@burtoncummingshttps://open.spotify.com/artist/5ziVRv2caoBDNG2fythJ2n?si=9jSeQX0NRlm0yQeXClv0hghttps://music.apple.com/ca/artist/burton-cummings/213444@harveybrownstone,#harveybrownstone,@harveybrownstoneinterviews,#harveybrownstoneinterviews,#burtoncummings,@burtoncummings,#TheGuessWho,#RandyBachman,#Canadianvocalists,#CanadianRockStars,#FallsviewCasino,#OLGStage,#AmericanWoman,#IWillPlayaRhapsody,#BreakIttoThemGentlyAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
