Bobby Gimby

Robert Stead Gimby, OC (October 25, 1918 – June 20, 1998) was a Canadian orchestra leader, trumpeter, and singer-songwriter.[13] In addition to continuing to lead his own orchestra, Gimby appeared on CBC Television in the late 1950s and hosted a show on CTV in the mid-1970s.The song was written for a documentary about the Centennial, but teachers loved the patriotic message of "Ca-na-da" and led the demand to release it as a single.[21] Gimby also traveled to military bases in foreign countries, where he would entertain the children of service personnel who were stationed overseas.[22] In recognition of his musical contribution to his country, Gimby received the Medal of Service, and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1968.
