They were a Canadian group, best known in this country for their #3 hit, "The Last Song". Some might be familiar with the follow-up to that, "Close Your Eyes", as it was the closing theme to the "Delilah" radio program for a number of years. When I was in high school, CKLW, Detroit/Windsor, played a lot of their material, and I owned two of their albums, "Edward Bear", and "Close Your Eyes". They were categorized as AM pop, but were more toward the impressionist-rock genre. I still enjoy running across one of their songs on a Canadian oldies station. Any memories of them?  |

I like Edward Bear very much! I have the "Edward Bear Collection" on CD.
I remember hearing Last Song, You Me and Mexico and Masquerade on a regular basis in the 70's. One of the girls who lived next- door to me when I was growing up had the 45 of Last Song. One track that I was unfamiliar with when I bought the CD, but loved right away was You Can't Deny It - what a great rocker!

I have the 45s of Last Song, You Me and Mexico, and (I think) Close Your Eyes. I also put You Me and Mexico on one of my No One Else Remembers CDs a while back. This group deserved some more success than they got -- or were they that big in Canada, Ken. I really don't remember them getting that much airplay when I lived in N.S. in the '70s, and it was after they were known. |

Was there a DJ at CKLW in the late '60s early '70s by the name of Jay Windsor? |

I really don't remember them getting that much airplay when I lived in N.S. in the '70s, and it was after they were known. I seem to remember hearing them quite a bit on the radio here on both CFUN and CKLG (the two big AM stations in Vancouver, in the 60's and 70's). I always thought they were quite a big Canadian act - at least from 1970 - 1974. |
