    Additional hint. The Who has covered it as well. And although the single was credited to The Guess Who? (with the question mark) it was actually Chad Allan & The Expressions that recorded it. Chad Allan left the band and Burton Cummings joined and the name of the band was changed to The Guess Who.

    I believe my "research" is correct, but admit I am not that familiar with the song :/

    A bit of trivia. Chad Allan left The Guess Who just before they hit it big. He later joined a band called Brave Belt with Randy Bachman, ex-guitarist with The Guess Who. They released a couple of albums. (look for a song called Dunrobin's Gone) Chad Allan left Brave Belt, which morphed into Bachman Turner Overdrive, who also went on to have great success.

    The Association -- Windy

    I thought it looked like maybe you wanted another band that also did Windy. I know Barry Manilow recorded a version of it with The Association a few years ago.

    It's really good! They do a medley of "Downtown" and "Windy" and then they sort of blend them together like singing a song in rounds. Here's a link to Youtube.

    That's a good CD too. He has another one: The Greatest Love Songs of the Seventies. As I remember it was the number on album in the US about 10 years ago when it was released.
