Born on November 5, 1959 in Kingston, Ontario, November has gone on to be one of the most successful and recognizable Canadians in the American film industry, even though this recognition comes from his voice rather than his physical appearance.
Adams first found stateside popularity in 1983 with the release of his album Cuts Like a Knife. It was also in 1983 that his music was first used for a motion picture with the recording of Heaven for A Night in Heaven. Adams' popularity continued throughout the 80s (during which he had a bit part in the 1989 Clint Eastwood excursion Pink Cadillac), but it wasn't until 1991, when Adams wrote Everything I Do, I Do It For You for Kevin Costner's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves that he met with record-breaking success. The song's single sold over 3 million copies in the United States, becoming the second best-selling single after We Are the World. The song also netted Adams a Golden Globe nomination and a Grammy for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture or Television. Following this success, Adams continued to write songs for movies, including All For Love for The Three Muskateers (1993), Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman for 1995's Don Juan DeMarco (for which he garnered Oscar and Golden Globe nominations as well as his fourth #1 hit), and I Finally Found Somone for Barbra Streisand's The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996), for which he received his third Oscar nomination as well as a Top 10 hit.
Adams has been called the most successful Canadian singer ever, an honor that he undoubtedly owes in part to the movies. Out of all of his number one hits, only one, Please Forgive Me, was not written for a film. All Movie Guide
