Billboard Canada FYI Bulletin: The Guess Who's Now Legendary Legacy

When friends fall out, stand back because you can never quite guess who is next in line to create havoc over a treasure chest of hits. As Burton Cummings takes unusual action to prevent a group from using the Guess Who name, the band's unusual history sheds light on the conflict.

Burton Cummings has been making news recently after taking the unusual step of taking legal action to prevent a touring group using the Guess Who name from playing any of the songs he wrote or co-wrote with Randy Bachman when the two of them were in the group some 30 years ago.

Well, guess what? The shadow group has taken his threats seriously and either cancelled shows or had venues do the same for them. Few acts have the power to enforce this action. The reason is that Cummings is the publisher of all the songs in the band’s repertoire, including those that were written by or co-written with Randy Bachman and an assortment of others co-written or written by various members of the band’s long list of members living or dead.
