... died yesterday in Toronto at age 84... one of the great songwriters/recording artists/performers of the 60's, 70's & 80's,
Gordon gave us such memorable songs as: Early Morning Rain, Canadian Railroad Trilogy, For Lovin' Me, If You Could Read
My Mind, Sundown, Carefree Highway, Rainy Day People, Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald, and many more.
I had the pleasure of introducing Gordon in concert and interviewing him on my radio show in Chicago about 40 years ago.
R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot.
