Yes. They were from Homestead, Florida, led by Ronnie Buro. When Buro graduated and moved to New Orleans (to attend Loyola College there), he started a new group that also recorded "One And Only" (plus two other singles). They needed a name, and remembering the popularity of the now-defunct Canadian Legends back in Miami, he decided to use THEIR name. So the Canadian Legends 45s on White Cliffs and Polar were not by the real Canadian Legends, but by the a band fronted by the leader of the Chessmen from South Florida.

I don't think the 45 is particularly valuable -- $25, perhaps.

Thanks jeffers66, just wanted to know something about it as I could not find it on the 'web'. Maybe when Mikes book comes out this kind of 45 will be listed like some others I have.

Mike's book will blow your mind.

It's already blown my mind to smithereens. I'll be using the profits to afford daily round the clock care at a nursing home for the musically insane.....

I could not find it in TBM or BTBM, so looks like it did not make the cut or forgotten?
