Gordon Lightfoot ( RIP )

[mancity1]

One of my favourite Canadian musicians has passed on to the big gig in the heavens.

RIP my good man in that Carefree Highway to the sky.

A brilliant song writer if there ever was.

"Daylight Katy" and "If you could read my mind" both seemed to be staple radio players when I was at school. Sad to hear his passing, RIP sir

 

[manimanc]

I only really knew him for this song.

RIP
‘Sundown’ and ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald’ were my favourites,
was only listening to him the other day.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Grew up hearing his music as my old man was a huge fan.

Another great gone and another reminder of our mortality.

I still cover Sundown and the Edmund Fitzgerald on gigs,get a really interesting response from the younger element of the audience.
