Gordon Lightfoot - Crossroads (1966)

Dedication to a proud Canadian. This is what Canada is about so I made this video (I appear in it briefly too). I've never seen an actual video of this song so I compliled one based on our trip across country and various other footage collected over the years.

Where did the Gord footage come from? He must've made a short film of this song in the 60's. Where is that footage?

[PAWLOA]

@sanQ Hi. The footage is some Vintage expo 67 footage while the country shots are from our trip through CANADA.

Gordon Lightfoot deserves props just for remaining in Canada. Most Canadians who make it big move to the States (eg, Neil Young).

Great video!! BRAVO. This is the first time i've ever heard this song, which is hard to believe since i've been a Lightfoot fan for 40 years. You've certainly captured the spirit of the song with your fine choice of images.

This is a great video. Makes this Jersey boy wanna be a Canadian!

Gordon looks heavier than I remember him.

this video is from a cbc special about expo 67 in montreal(all you canucks of course know that was centennial year,and a big deal at the time)-the other song he did on this show was "Canadian Railroad Trilogy"which is a veritable folk-lore masterpiece,imho.That song was specially commissioned by a cbc staff producer,I can't recall the name.I saw a documentary about it.I'm a huge lightfoot fan,myself-my mom played all his records when I was a kid.I have heard "Crossroads" somewhere before(album?)

@watersong111 lightfoot did the same thing in "sit down young Stranger". at the end he sings "the answers in the forest carved upon a tree. John loves Mary does anyone love mer" Jhon and Mary stood at thr CROSS WHICH IS ALSO called a tree and Lightfoot sings "to wear the crown of peace u must wear the crown of thorns and meantions Jesus by name. in a latter song "at best it is said we bin locked up inside of an old seamans chest full of charts where maps are contained and wats left a his brains
