Gordon Lightfoot

One of my favorites. Watching a documentary on him now.

Anyone here a fan?

I like his stuff.

Cannot name a song he sings. Maybe if I heard it I could recognize it, but would not know who he is.

Probably his most popular song.

Oh yes I have heard that,...awesome song.

Sundown was his most popular song. Edmund Fitzgerald came later

Greatness!

"Does anyone know where the love of God goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours..." - damn good stuff!

I really like "If You Could Read My Mind" as well. Gordon was/is a great singer!

Only tune I really know is "sundown". Good song, just a bit before my time.

Marc, I had never heard of him until you told me about him at the TWA awards ceremony a couple years ago. He makes good music and is a great story teller

I thought that was a Deryl Dodd song!

Oops!!!

Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald gets way too much air play as well as Hotel Califoria by the Eagles

Another good one

I think I have a song or two on my iTunes

2-3 good songs and time to switch artist

Song is about a philandering woman who he is always having to keep an eye on.

Song will be timeless because women will always exist.

I’ve got a Gordon Lightfoot Pandora station. Really enjoy some of the songs the algorithm throws at me.

Yep as long as life is worth living.

Saw him about 8 yrs ago after his near death abdominal aneurism. Voice will never be the same. Ballad of yarmouth castle was my favorite tune

Many of his songs are on my playlist.

Enjoy his music and songs from a story telling perspective

I think this was his best work

He's on record stating he considers this his magnum opus.

Agreed. Such a soul churning story.

Got Gordon stuck on a playlist with the likes of, Tool, AIC, and Koe Wetzel. That is my cooking outside music.

RIP

He's not dead.....

He has passed, RIP

Dang
RIP

That's # 2 Who's next? Keith Richards better look out

Given the genre I think Willie!

Now this is music worth talking about.

Yes sir, it is. RIP.

RIP
He was a huge talent.

Sorry to see him go, but I am getting sorry to see anyone go. Afraid I might be next.

No artist was any better at touching the soul with their music. You could almost see the ship cook telling the crew, "fellas, it's been good to know ya."

His 12 string acoustic riffs were unmistakable.

A little GL goes a long ways. RIP

have to wonder if they'll drop his casket in Lake Gitche Gumee

His music was all over AM radio in the 70s growing up. Loved it.

Don’t be afraid. You’ll probably outlive us all.

Probably his best song and my personal favorite

Stunning. That song has it all. There simply is no comparing that to the nonsense created today.
