The verdict
Born Andrew Youakim in Montreal, he topped the charts in the late '60s and early '70s with hits like 'Sugar, Sugar' and 'Rock Me Gently.' Though he spent much of his career working in the U.S., he's remained proudly connected to his Canadian roots. A true Johnny Canuck who brought a little Montreal sweetness to the world, eh?
