The founding member of The Guess Who turns 83 on Aug. 11, marking another milestone for a musician whose career helped take Canadian rock to an international audience. Kale played bass throughout the band's most successful years and contributed to the recordings that made the group one of the era's biggest names.
The Guess Who found its first major American success with "These Eyes," which reached No. 6 in the United States and became the band's first million-selling single. Kale's bass could also be heard across albums including Wheatfield Soul, Canned Wheat and American Woman.
As the other musicians joined the spontaneous jam, Cummings began singing the words that came to him. The finished song spent three weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970, making The Guess Who the first Canadian band to top the chart.
After decades of performing, Kale retired from touring and handed his place in the group to bassist Rudy Sarzo. "Jim Kale, the founding bassist of the band, he's retired from the road. He passed me the torch," Sarzo recalled in 2018.
