The "Guess Who"
In 1965, Quality released their single, a cover of the Johnny Kidd song "Shakin' All Over". As a promo stunt, Quality released promo copies of the single credited to "Guess Who?". This became the band's new name, although throughout 1965 they were being credited as "Guess Who? Chad Allan And The Expressions".
In late 1965 Bob Ashley left the band and Burton Cummings of The Deverons replaced him. Shortly after Cummings' arrival, the band dropped the "Chad Allan & The Expressions" sub-moniker & began including harder R&B material into their set. Allan started developing throat problems in early 1966 that made it difficult for him to sing the grittier materials, which Cummings took on. After recording The Guess Who's third album, It's Time, Allan left the band.
