These two songs marked Canada's Centennial
in 1967. Well, one song, actually, in both of Canada's official
languages; English and French. "Canada," by
The Young Canada Singers, was a cheerful
celebration of our great land written by "the pied piper of Canada",
trumpeter and orchestra leader Bobby Gimby (who was later awarded The Order of Canada for his efforts). The
song was even
a hit, "the only centennial
project that will make money for the government," as one official
noted.
