  • Scoots from AzI remember when this song came out, I was living in LA, i wanna say rick dee's was the d j as a teenager the lyrics touched me. I left home not long after that, married my best friend. We were married for forty three years, but I look back to this song and it meant a lot then, and hits home to this day
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn February 13th 1977, "I'm Scared" by Burton Cummings entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #84; and three weeks later on March 6th, 1977 it peaked at #61 and spent five weeks on the Top 100...
    As a solo artist, between 1976 and 1981 he had five Top 100 records, with one reaching the Top 10 and that was right at #10, "Stand Tall" for 2 weeks on January 2nd, 1977...
    He celebrates his birthday on the last day of the year; and will turn 68 years old this coming December 31st {2015}.
  • T from Tucson, AzI have been a fan of burtons since the begining and feel his solo work was by ar his best. This song really makes you stop and think about life
  • Kevin from Reading , PaWoody -- His best music was as a solo artist? Really. I seriously doubt that. "No Time," "Laughing," "Albert Flasher," "American Woman," . . . that's a lot to live up to as a solo artist.
  • Woody from Moose Jaw, CanadaThis song and "Break it to them gently" two of his best.
    Anything from The Guess Who was good, but his best music was as a solo artist.
