guitarists Kurt Winter and Donnie McDougall, and becoming one of the group's primary songwriters in conjunction with leader Burton Cummings. Having grown up in Toronto, Troiano was the first member of The Guess Who not to hail from Winnipeg. He appeared on the albums Flavours and Power in the Music, which were noted for moving The Guess Who into jazz rock due to Troiano's songwriting influence. Cummings was unhappy with this new sound, and disbanded the long-running group in 1975. Troiano then resumed his solo career, releasing three more solo albums by 1979. His 1979 song "We All Need Love" became a substantial hit in Europe when it was covered by Eurodance group Double You in 1992. Meanwhile, Troiano formed another new band called Black Market, which released one album in 1981. Troiano then turned to soundtrack work for film and television, and served as producer for other artists. He was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1996. Troiano died from prostate cancer at age 59 on May 25, 2005. In his name, the Domenic Troiano Guitar Scholarship was established in 2006, and is now known as the Domenic Troiano Guitar Awards. He was also commemorated in a collection of music memorabilia at the Brunswick House pub and museum in Toronto.
