| General Description : | From the souvenir sheet of 4 stamps Photography: Self portrait Each star featured has made remarkable contributions to the Canadian music scene. International rock superstar Bryan Adams helped develop an infrastructure to propel other Canadians to the top of the charts. Renowned folklorist Stompin’ Tom Connors protested the policies he felt were hindering Canada’s artistic potential. A pioneer in French-Canadian rock, Robert Charlebois gave voice to and furthered the development of the chanson. And Acadian sensation Édith Butler promoted familiarity with and appreciation for her Acadian culture across Canada and around the world. Like the first stamp issue celebrating Canadian singers and songwriters released in 2007, this set was designed by Winnipeg’s Circle Design Inc. Designer Robert L. Peters. The stamps are square in format and feature monochromatic photos of each artist alongside their Order of Canada insignias. To reflect the glamour of these “living legends,” each is captured in the limelight. Bryan Adams Bryan Adams is one of the world’s most highly-acclaimed musicians. Since he launched his career more than three decades ago, this Canadian rocker has achieved number one status in more than 40 countries and recorded many chart-topping singles. He is also an accomplished photographer, using the proceeds of his photographic projects to finance his namesake foundation. Awards and accolades to Adams’ name include Oscar and Golden Globe nominations, a Grammy Award, and many American Music Awards and Juno Awards. He has also been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame. “It is a wonderful honour to be amongst the great men and women who have graced our Canadian stamps,” Bryan Adams says of this postal tribute. “I am humbled by the recognition.” Also available in booklet of 8 stamps, Product #: 413738111, pressure sensitine gum type and simulated perforation, 4,000,000 produced |
