April Wine
April Wine is a Canadian rock band formed in 1969 and originally based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, led by singer-guitarist-songwriter Myles Goodwyn until his death in 2023. April Wine first experienced success with their second album, On Record (1972), which reached the Top 40 in the Canadian album chart and yielded two hit singles: a cover of Elton John's "Bad Side of the Moon", a top 20 hit in Canada; and a cover of Hot Chocolate's "You Could Have Been a Lady", a number 2 song in Canada.
They have experienced only moderate international success, but great popularity in their home country of Canada, reaching the Top 40 singles charts with 21 different songs. Their greatest response internationally throughout the 1970s and early 1980s came with songs such as "You Could Have Been a Lady" (1972), "Tonite Is a Wonderful Time to Fall in Love" (1975), "Roller" (1979), "I Like to Rock" (1980), "Sign of the Gypsy Queen" (1981), and "Just Between You and Me" (1981).
