Famous Lost Words

Special - Myles Goodwyn of April Wine (1948-2023)


Listen Later

In this special episode, we pay tribute to the late Myles Goodwyn, the lead singer and songwriter of April Wine.

Myles was seemingly in good health and spirits in late September as he and April Wine were inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame.  Goodwyn was also inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall Of Fame.

We feature two segments from the Famous Lost Words archives.  First up is Tom's 2021 interview with Myles who told wonderful stories about the history of April Wine and their early struggles, first brush with fame, their feud with a famous rock critic, their gig with The Rolling Stones at the El Mocambo in Toronto - and their crossover success in the early '80s.  He also talked about his latest music - and in particular one song that addresses the residential school crisis.

We also feature a phone chat with Myles circa 1977 in which he talks about Canada's star system.  

Both segments capture Goodwyn's personality and deep love of music.

Myles Goodwyn passed away on December 3, 2023 at the age of 75 in Halifax Nova Scotia.
