[Heeplist] Only 1 original member? (Bob Winward)

The Guess Who has reunited on multiple occasions with all four original
members. Randy Bachman is too busy however with his many other projects
(Bachman-Turner, solo career, Vinyl Tap radio show, producing young artists,
etc.) to commit full time. I think that there are plenty of bands out there
with strong links to their past and many, if not all of the original members
(though sadly, we're seeing many now in their early 70's, starting to pass
away) HOWEVER, I think part of the 'charm' (if you will) of bands like Uriah
Heep and 'Yes' are how they have managed to not only survive, but evolve in
an ever-changing environment where members are seemingly always passing
through. It's especially cool for someone like me, just discovering the
band, to find so many different (yet interesting in their own ways) era's
and versions of the band there are to uncover. Although the 'classic'
lineup of any band like Heep (or Yes or Deep Purple or The Who, etc., etc.)
might be the one responsible for putting (and in some ways perhaps keeping)
their bands on the map, it's the altered "Mach" versions that add an extra
depth to the band. Kudos to Mick Box for sticking with this band when the
chips were down and for pulling them up off the ground and raising them, in
some ways like a Phoenix, bringing them maybe not to the same elevated
height of success, but relatively new heights of success. Were it not for
bands like Uriah Heep keeping their legacy alive, I might not have taken the
time, just a short year or so ago, to discover them basically for the first
time.

I googled there are two original members of Guess Who, the bass and the
drummer. Cummings left decades ago and Bachman is like 1973 or so that he
left.
As for the Who wasn't their last CD called Who's left?
