The original lead of iconic Winnipeg rock band The Guess Who has died.
Chad Allan, who formed the group and was lead vocalist on the hit 1965 single Shakin’ All Over when the band was still known as Chad Allan and the Expressions, was 80 when he died on Nov. 21.
In an obituary, his family described Allan as “part of the fabric of… Canadian music history” for his role in the band. He suffered a stroke in 2017.
Allan left The Guess Who to attend college in 1966. The band went on to record the album American Woman in 1970, which hit No. 1 on Canadian music charts, among other chart toppers in Canada and the U.S.
