Writing about the start of summer and summer music got me to thinking about some of the classic rock groups from the 60’s and 70’s. My Dad had a rather eclectic taste in music. He was as comfortable listening to classical compositions from Brahms and Bach as he was grooving to the rhythms of Motown’s The Supremes and The Temptations. Consequently, I grew up in a home where one moment we were listening to Sinatra’s “Strangers in the Night” and the next we were listening to Ravel’s “Bolero.”
One of my Dad’s favorite rock groups was a band from Canada. The Guess Who scored big in the late 60’s and early 70’s with hits such as “American Woman,” “No Time,” and “These Eyes.” I never cared much for “American Woman” (not too crazy about the song’s message) but I just loved “These Eyes.”
So now that summer is on its way, enjoy these tunes from a band from the “Great Frozen Tundra” aka Canada.
Vati, danke für den Musikvati!
