Burton Lorne Cummings, OC OM (born December 31, 1947) is a Canadian musician, singer and songwriter.
He was the former lead singer and frequent keyboardist for the Canadian rock band The Guess Who. During his 10 years in the band, from 1965 to 1975, he sang, wrote or co-wrote many hit songs including "American Woman," "No Time", "Share the Land", "Hand Me Down World", "Laughing", "Star Baby", "New Mother Nature", "These Eyes", and "Clap for the Wolfman". His solo career includes many hit singles including "Stand Tall", "My Own Way to Rock", "Fine State of Affairs", and "You Saved My Soul".
Cummings was born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, as were all of the other original members of The Guess Who. Burton was raised by his mother Rhoda and her parents; he never knew his father, who left when he was less than a year old. Burton attended St. John's High School. He dropped out of school, due to poor grades, when he was sixteen. Forty-five years later, in 2010, his former high school awarded him an honorary diploma. His first band was a local Winnipeg R&B group, The Deverons, with an 'E' (not to be confused with the band The Devrons who had Country/R&B hits in the early 1960s). The Deverons with Cummings released two singles on the tiny REO Records label. The first single, "Blue Is The Night / She's Your Lover", was cut at a Winnipeg radio station. The second single, "Lost Love / Feel Alright", was recorded at Kay Bank Studios in Minneapolis, where The Guess Who frequently recorded. He was asked by The Guess Who to join the band, which he did in early January 1966, originally as a replacement for recently departed keyboardist Bob Ashley. By May 1966, Cummings had assumed the role of lead singer when original lead singer and front man Chad Allan who left the group the previous month after.

Timeless love is livin' on
Here in my heart baby and here in my song
I miss your laugh and I miss your smiles
I hope you hear this across the miles
And if you do, maybe my nights won't seem as long
So I'll sing about you in the morning sun
And I'll sing about you when my music's all done
Then I'll smile
Because it feels good even missin' ya
Now I'll sing about the day you said goodbye
Then I'll sing one to many and I'll start to cry
But that's okay
Because it feels good even missin' ya
Cry my memories away
They haunt me by night, honey and they chase me by day
I think about what I left behind a piece of my heart and a piece of my mind
But still and all they weren't enough to make you want to stay, no, no, no
So I'll sing about you in the morning sun
And I'll sing about you when my music's all done
Then I'll smile
Because it feels good even missin' ya
Now I'll sing about the day you said goodbye
And I'll sing one to many and I'll start to cry
But that's okay
Because it feels good even missin' ya
Yes it feels good even missin' ya
Baby it feels good even missin' ya
I got you in my heart forever, missin' ya, missin' ya, missin' ya
Little darlin' I'm missin' ya
I keep on missin' you forever, ever, ever, ever, ever
