"It's My Pride" by The Guess Who

The Guess Who was formed in the 60s in Canada and underwent an interesting course of evolution from garage rock to pop to jazz rock. The band achieved great success by the end of 60s and into the 70s with classic hits like "These Eyes" (#6), "Laughing" (#10), "No Time" (#5), and "American Woman" (#1 for 3 weeks).

The band made stars out of some of the individual members, including Randy Bachman, who went on to form Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and Burton Cummings who had a moderately successful solo career as we discussed earlier.

"It's My Pride" takes us back to 1966, when the band was still fresh from the garage and burning with an intensity that might surprise those who know the Guess Who only from their hits.
