Haunting Canadian folk guitarist and songwriter, his last name pronounced "Coburn". He was a member of band The Children in the late 1960s. Among his hits are Wondering Where the Lions Are (1979, top 25 on Billboard) and Rocket Launcher (1984). A 1970s conversion to Christianity greatly influenced his music, though a later ebb towards politics of the oppressed has turned some of those fans away.
