Canada’s Top 100… 212 Fahrenheit
As our unfailingly lovely and polite Canadian neighbours prepare to celebrate their nation’s 153rd birthday on July 1, they will do it accompanied by a truly Canadian soundtrack from coast-to-coast, as Stingray proudly presents The Top 100 Canadian Songs of All-Time, hosted by Canadian music legends Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, along with iconic broadcaster Stu Jeffries.
Burton and Randy will join Stu for a full day of the most-requested Canadian songs spanning more than five decades. After all, it was 50 years ago that The Guess Who marked an historic milestone as “American Woman” became the first Canadian song to hit No. 1 in the U.S. Since then, these two Winnipeg gentlemen have created some of the greatest songs in Canadian history, from The Guess Who, to Burton’s solo hits, to Randy’s work with Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Between them, the guys have played nearly every arena, stadium, and theatre in Canada, and they’ve proudly flown the Canadian flag to fans all around the world.
Tomorrow, July 1, Burton and Randy will share some great stories from their years touring across Canada and around the world, as well as never-before-heard stories from behind the making of the greatest music our country has ever known.
Also raised in Winnipeg, Stu Jeffries is one of Canada’s most-respected broadcasters. In 1986, Stu became famous as host of Good Rockin’ Tonite on CBC. The Friday night program was must-see TV for anyone who grew up in the ’80s. After a stint working at CMT, Stu currently does mornings on Stingray Classic Hits CHBM (boom 97.3)/Toronto, one of 32 great Stingray radio stations that will air The Top 100 Canadian Songs of All-Time on Wednesday.
