The Guess Who. Uma das mais importantes bandas de rock do Canadá durante a década de 60, tem suas raízes no grupo Al And The Silverstones, formado em 1959, do qual saíram o cantor, Chad Allan e o guitarrista Randy Bachman para formar o Guess Who. Os outros integrantes eram Garry Peterson (bateria), Jim Kalle (baixo). Antes de ficarem famosos, Chad Allan saiu para fazer a faculdade e foi substituido por Burton Cummings, que tambem era tecladista e imitava o jeito de Jim Morrison.
