      History

      “Canadian folk singer and community activist. [...] In 1954, after the departure of Helen Gray, Simone was asked by fellow UJPO member and co-founder of The Travellers, Jerry Goodis, to join the group. That same year, under the direction of Samuel Goldberg, they made their television debut on the CBC program, Haunted Studio. [...] It was after The Travellers appeared on a national television commercial for Molson Canadian Beer that Simone started to doubt the direction of the group. She felt the band had strayed from their "roots" and were more interested in becoming mainstream. In 1969, she left The Travellers due to artistic differences. She was replaced by Pam Fernie.” https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1067533/bio/
