Ray St. Germain and his wife of 50 years Glory at Skinners, a popular diner north of Winnipeg.
For 50 years Glory St. Germain was married to Métis songwriter and musician Ray St. Germain — the man known as Winnipeg’s Elvis. She spoke to Rosanna Deerchild, host of CBC's Unreserved, about the decades spent by her husband's side that were filled with music, laughter and love. For 50 years, Glory St. Germain had a front row ticket to her life with Winnipeg's Elvis, musician Ray St. Germain.

We've heard from a lot of people saying that Ray made them proud to be Métis at a time when there was a lot of shame around claiming that culture and identity. Why do you think he was so loud and proud about it?, it came from really learning about the heritage and he was proud of that. And it was always about encouraging young people to speak their mind to be proud of who they are.
Then he said we have to go. And then we got back in the van and went back to the hospital and he had to go right to bed. Then a week later, he passed.
