In 2011 he was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters' Hall of Fame. He has been called "undeniably the greatest Canadian rock and roll singer of all time".

Not heard of him, but I didn’t come to Canada until the late sixties; I understand he was a big name in the late fifties and early sixties, which could account for my lack of recognition.

I think there might be some hyperbole in that "undeniably"!

Bryan, I hadn't heard of him either - at least by name. But I have heard several of his songs over the years, never knowing anything at all about the gent. Yesterday I was listening to a good old song from way back when. So I googled him and thus, my post, along with the high praise getting the quotation marks. :D

Been in Canada since the mid sixties, and I've never heard of him either.
All these years, did I miss something? :shock:

I was surprised to see the long list of his successful songs. YouTube and Google are sources of this information.
