Archive material and source history

Allan Hurd is a Canadian singer from Montreal who wrote and recorded the ballad "Always a Friend" in 1976. The song became a hit internationally, though some later questioned whether he used vocal effects on his recordings, which he denied.

Beyond that single, Hurd recorded other songs like "Arizona," "City Life," and "Died a Little Today." He worked with musicians including guitarist Jeff Jones, bassist Dave Pickell, and drummer Bruce Donaldson.

His music tends toward ballads and midtempo tracks, with titles like "Guilty," "I Made An Angel Cry," and "Sister Lost Soul" suggesting a focus on emotional, personal themes.
