Loved his music. Snuck into one of his performances as a teen. We appropriated some badges and helped to unload a truck. They thought we'd been there the entire time. We asked for tickets and they gave them to us for 15 minutes of work. It was the Troubadour if I remember correctly.

I listen to the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald almost every week. The story in the song is haunting to me, having been a sailor.
RIP Gordon Lightfoot.

Truly great artist.

Godspeed, Gordon.
You will be missed.

Interesting side note...

Gordon wrote the song Sundown about his mistress in real life. That same mistress is the person who injected Belushi with the fatal dose of drugs.

“Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone” is one of my favorite songs.

I don’t listen to it when my wife is around. I don’t want to feed her ego.

I had no idea.

I had no idea.

I'm full of useless information... unfortunately for me.

Just tell her it reminds you of your side chick, that ought to keep her in line.

RIP GL, another legendary song writer

Gord's Gold is one of my favorite albums of all time. This is a real bummer. Gordon's music was nothing but really cool to listen to for me. Just great stuff. RIP Mr. Lightfoot

On a side inquiry

What the hell is that guy doing. Is he accomplishing anything.

My father is a massive Gordon Lightfoot fan and as a consequence so am I. My childhood was filled with his music. Sunday roasts always had Gordon on in the background and I was often asked to flip the record, more often than not Gord's Gold, on the player and carefully drop the needle onto the start of the next side.

RIP Gordon. Thank you for the music.

This one cuts deep. One of my all time favorites. When he sang, "in the early morning rain." I could feel the rain. A true store teller much like Croce and Chapin. And another part of my youth fades away.

You do realize that's the point - right?

 

[Tano]

You do realize that's the point - right?

Yes but I still want to know what the frick he was even thinking of doing

Another great musician gone, but his music lasts forever. I've always had Gordon Lightfoot and Neil Diamond as institutions pegged to a similar folk/pop genre, and these two have stood the test of time as so many popular musical styles unfolded from the late 50's thru to today.
RIP G.L.

Jim Croce's early death was a huge loss. Think of all the music we have missed out on. The man was a genius.
