Power in the Music
Encyclopedia
Power in the Music is the sixteenth album
released in 1975
by the Canadian
rock band The Guess Who
. It was the last album the band released before Burton Cummings
left the group to become a solo artist and the group disbanded, although a few subsequent albums were still credited to The Guess Who.
The track "Rosanne" (#55 Can.) was apparently written about the one time girlfriend of Burton's very good friend Gary "Big Daddy" MacLean, whose name, appropriately enough, was Roseanne.
All songs written by Burton Cummings and Domenic Troiano.
