Professor of Rock

Coming up, Randi Bachman of the Guess Who tells the story of the 70s classic NO SUGAR TONIGHT which was the double a side to the classic song, American woman by the Guess Who with Burton Cummings. He wrote it about a pissed off rant from a wife who ripped her husband in front of everybody. Hilarious story. The story of a 70s classic straight from the writer who put it down. #classicrock #shorts #70smusic #70srock I’m excited to bring you another episode from our series Revelations- where featured artists go deep on their greatest songs. This is a Really funny story “So far on this channel, we’ve heard a lot of great stories from Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman from legendary band The Guess Who. Both are phenomenal song tellers. .. if you will… Well today is no exception today we have an interview with both of them where they tell the story of one of the biggest double a-side number one hits Ever… No Sugar Tonight and American Woman. Now we’ve never had a feature on No Sugar… We had Burton’s side of America Woman but not Bachman’s So today is all new. First of all no Sugar Tonight is a medley…It’s actually No Sugar Tonight / New Mother Nature and was the B- Side of the American Woman Single without the New Mother Nature section….but then the single was officially relapsed as American Woman SLASH Non Sugar Tonight and peaked at #1 in both America and Canada for 3 weeks. So technically both were #1 hits… Just like the Beatles used to do. It’s a lost art…. Well No Sugar Tonight came from a hilarious incident that Randy Bachman witnessed when a tough guy got absolutely cussed out by his girlfriend in front of a bunch of onlookers. Randy heard her rant and it was so good he quickly turned it into a number one hit. Hear the story first hand next. and then American Woman came to the band when they were playing a live show. Randy Bachman was just messing around with a riff between songs and Burton jumped on stage and started rapping nonsense words… They knew it was going to be huge from the audience’s reaction but after the show they had forgotten parts of it. Luckily a young kid who was illegally bootlegging the show recorded it. Find out how they tracked him down and did this classic hit. & why Singer Burton Cumming was pissed off at a change that was made on the double sided #1 hit. Also not to add insult to injury but The Guess Who is another great band that has been shut out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
