@peterlay1961 Well said. I am 43, just a few years younger than you but I agree with you that today's music (not all of it) just lacks the simpicity and pureness of the music like Gord's has. Thankyou.

A Canadian treasure!

The honesty in his singing is inspiring

If I had 1% of this man's talent I would be made for life, he is awesome! OK I may be close to 50 but talent like Godon's is worth far more than the crap around these days!

I'm very blessed to have born in an era where I could hear and appreciate the brilliance of Gordon Lightfoot. I can't imagine a world without his music.
God bless you GL!

He's been through hell medically, and it shows. But he got through it and he's still kickin, and he can still sing, which is what counts.



Trivia:
In a recent interview with Bill Flanagan, Bob Dylan cited Lightfoot as a fave songwriter. He mentioned liking "Shadows", If You Could Read my Mind", and "Sundown". I also heard Bob say "Gordon Lightfoot is one of my favourite songwriters in the world" during a Rolling Thunder Review concert, Toronto, '75, with Gord as a guest artist! And Bob recorded Gord's "Early Morning Rain" in 1970.
Gord, Bob, and Peter Paul & Mary all shared the same manager in the '60s, Albert Grossman.
