As a solo artist, he leaves his mark with Stand Tall, I’m Scared, Dream of a Child, You Saved My Soul, I Will Play a Rhapsody and Timeless Love, among many other much-loved tunes.

Recently, the best-selling book The 100 Top Canadian Singles ranked American Woman as the greatest Canadian single of all time. As an international artist, Burton enjoys world-wide stature shared by only a select few Canadian performers.
