Born in Canada, Randy Bachman has become a legendary figure in the rock and roll world through his talen
ts as a guitarist, songwriter, performer and producer. He has earned over 110 gold and platinum album/si
ngles awards around the world for performing and producing. His song writing has garnered him the covete
d #1 spot on radio play lists in over 20 countries and he has amassed over 40 million records sold. His
songs have been recorded by numerous other artists and placed in dozens of television, movie and commerc
ial soundtracks. His music has provided a veritable soundtrack of the last thirty years of popular music
.
He first scored Billboard radio chart success with his band The Guess Who in 1965 performing the song,
Shakin' All Over.After this initial success it would be another few years before the glare of the spotlight would be cast upon these young Canadian boys again. Sticking it out through some misadventures paid off for the band and they worked their way back up to the top of the charts in a spectacular way. This time, The Guess Who went on to virtually own the pop charts with an unprecedented run of 5 million-selling singles, all the product of the gold plated Randy Bachman-Burton Cummings song writing team. By 1970, The Guess Who had sold more records than the entire Canadian recording industry to that point, even outselling the Beatles that year. Their hits included These Eyes, Laughing, Undun, No Time, No Sugar Tonight and American Woman.
