Oh dear. This one hurts. A singular talent..

The Dylan quote is high praise indeed. Dylan in the early 60s was the inspiration for Lightfoot to start his musical career.

A lot of people liked this guy's music. But he was not a Zip-a-Dee -Doo-Dah kind of guy. He was a bit on the melancholy side of life. Not really my taste. May he rest in peace.

Rick Beato is incisive and cordially entertaing in his commentary. That goes not only for the matter at hand, but also the many musical facets he undertakes to explore.

I have to discipline myself to distance myself from music, even though I write and perform, as I am too inclined toward emotional investment in the same.

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
‘Bout a ghost from a wishin’ well

In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I’m a ghost you can’t see

There is a great bio on Prime.

It’s been years since I heard anything from him, so I naturally assumed he already had died.
I guess he wasn’t the type to spill his guts on Twitter or YouTube.

My dear late sister loved Gordon’s music. This is very poignant news for me.

Thanks for this, I figured Rick would do a tribute.

Gord’s Gold is the top downloaded album on Apple Music today.

I would have not heard of his death if it were not for FR. I guess we know the loss of true talent.

[Tommy Revolts]

I have an incredible memory of Gordon Lightfoot that I share to this day.

RIP, you touched my soul.

[eyedigress]

Yea, he deserves a couple of rounds.

Cheers to you Mr. Gordon Lightfoot.

Anyone else remember the SCTV sketch where Rick Moranis did the commercial: “Gordon Lightfoot sings - every song ever written!..”?
