== Biography ==
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.〔Mike Doherty. "Burton Cummings, Poet and Player." Maclean's Magazine, October 30, 2012. ()〕 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. 〔 "Guess Who Finally Graduated?" ''Macleans'', July 19, 2010, p. 10. 〕 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 frontman Chad Allan left the group.
