Though hailing from the U.S., Ronnie Hawkins found his success in Canada where he settled for most of his life. He is considered highly influential in the establishment and evolution of rock music in Canada. His hit songs included covers of Chuck Berry's "Thirty Days" (entitled "Forty Days" by Hawkins) and Young Jessie's "Mary Lou," "Who Do You Love?", "Hey Bo Diddley" and "Suzie Q." Though the man nicknamed "The Hawk" was never a superstar, superstars certainly knew who he was. John Lennon and Yoko Ono once stayed at his house and Bob Dylan took his backing band (The Band) for himself.
