| General Description : | From the souvenir sheet of 4 stamps Photography: Art Stanton 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. Stompin’ Tom Connors Beyond Canadian borders, when you hear a Stompin’ Tom record, you can’t wait to get back home. A staunch supporter of Canada, this singer-songwriter, fiddler and guitarist has spent most of his life capturing our heritage in song. Before being discovered in Timmins, Ontario, Charles Thomas “Stompin’ Tom” Connors spent many years traveling across the country, working and writing songs along the way. Today, 300 songs and 50 albums into his career, Connors remains mindful and proud of his humble roots. “I am delighted, humbled and overwhelmed at this wonderful recognition that Canada Post, and indeed all Canadians, have given me with this great honour.” Also available in booklet of 8 stamps, Product #: 413738111, pressure sensitine gum type and simulated perforation, 4,000,000 produced |
