Bio / info
The Guess Who is a Canadian rock band formed in Winnipeg in 1965. The group originally consisted of Chad Allan (lead vocals/guitar), Bob Ashley (keyboards), Randy Bachman (guitars, backing vocals), Jim Kale (bass, backing vocals), and Garry Peterson (drums, backing vocals), and played under a variety of different names: Chad Allen and the Silvertones / Reflections / Expressions. Their record company, in a ploy to generate excitement, released a single credited to "Guess Who?" and the name stuck even after the band's true identity was revealed. By the end of 1966, both Allen and Ashley had left, and Burton Cummings (keyboards) joined, with Bachman taking over on lead vocals. The group was stable and successful until 1970, when Bachman left to form Bachman-Turner Overdrive. The group met with declining success after that point, and disbanded in 1975. Starting in 1977, reunions of various old and new members began, and Kale took up legal ownership of the name. Over the subsequent decades, Kale and Peterson have been the most prominent members, with Kale bowing out in 2016 for health reasons.
