PM Pierre
In 2015 I revisited Trudeaumania through song:
In the opening pages of his 2016 book, Trudeaumania, Paul Litt, my colleague in the School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies, liberally quoted the lyrics from the song, PM Pierre, that I wrote and recorded on Capitol Records in 1968.
Below you can listen to two versions of the song:
PM Pierre (Official Capitol Records recording)
PM Pierre (Allan J. Ryan live on CBC Radio鈥檚 Russ Thompson Show)
Read Nick Ward鈥檚 story on Trudeaumania in the 2017 edition of FASSinate Magazine here:听/history/2017/trudeaumania-featured-latest-issue-fassinate/.听Trudeaumania won the Canadian Historical Association鈥檚 Political History Prize for Best Book of 2016.
