Juno Awards of 1971
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Juno Awards of 1971, representing Canadian music industry achievements of the previous year, were awarded on 22 February 1971 in Toronto at a ceremony in the St. Lawrence Hall. These would be the first awards to be formally titled the Junos as decided by RPM Magazine in 1970 following its first formal music awards event.
Atlantic Canadians were particularly successful at the awards in 1971 such as producer Brian Ahearn, and artists Stompin' Tom Connors, Gene MacLellan and Anne Murray. According to the Globe and Mail newspaper report following the Junos ceremony, Murray quipped to the audience about the emergence of a "Maritime Mafia" in the Canadian music scene.
