April Wine, rock band which formed in Halifax in December 1969 and moved to Montréal the following April. Guitar player Myles Goodwyn was the main songwriter and vocalist, fronting a lineup which has gone through a number of configurations over the years. The group's biggest early hit was 1972's "You Could Have Been a Lady," followed by, among others, "Roller" (1979) and "Just Between You and Me" (1981). While those songs gained some international exposure, April Wine remained best known at home, where it became the first Canadian band to ever record a platinum (100 000 units sold) album with Stand Back (1975).

It made history again with the subsequent The Whole World's Going Crazy, which was certified platinum upon release. April Wine was one of the most popular Canadian concert attractions and, after disbanding in 1984, reformed in 1992 for a national tour. The band has since released 2 more albums.
