To celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday this year, the Star is recognizing the best little-known Canadian songs as picked by a wide range of musicians and others whose lives are defined by music. Maybe the choices our panel made never saw the Top 10, but they’ve never left their memories. Oscar Peterson’s trio lit a fire in me to become a jazz musician because he always swung so hard. I consider “Jerusalem” to be one of the greatest but least-known Canadian songs. It also represents some of the great Canadian work that we inherit by welcoming into this country so many incredible artists from different cultures.
