    Just heard the sad news that Gordon Lightfoot passed away at the age of 84. I was a young boy when his songs Sundown and If You Could Read My Mind were big hits. He was truly one of the great singer-songwriters of the 70's. A musician with heart and soul. Rest In Peace, Gordon!

      It was KYA and KFRC AM locally here in the SF Bay Area. Almost no one listened to FM in those days. AM was king.

    I wonder how many people remember when they first heard this song. I lived in South Carolina and it was played on every radio station, juke box and cable music channel. My daughter learned to dance in her crib to the tune of Sundown. Our downstairs neighbors played it 24 hours a day and the walls were very thin. I have such fond memories of that time. Thanks for the memories, Gordon

    "Sometimes I think it's a sin when I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again" Boy can I relate to that! Thank you Gordon Lightfoot, a true Canadian treasure and thank you for your wonderful music! I love how the audience start clapping...would have been great to be there!!

    My mom always says that men have two brains; it's the second one that gets them into trouble. She and my dad have been married for 38 years and have known each other for 48; they met the first day of grade 9. My parents listened to Lightfoot A LOT during high school, university and when they were first married! My dad even took my mom to see him perform at Massey Hall. Happy 76th, Gordon!

    A great live performance of one of my favorite songs. Gordon Lightfoot is one of those singers a lot of people today haven’t heard of. Play them a song or two, and they become a new fan. Rest easy Gordon, your music and talent live on.

    was in a head shop in OKC in 1973 and the Sundown Album had just been released. Lightfoot was a poet and this was his breakout album. I had heard him before but was completely blown away when I found out this was him. Has to be one of the landmark albums of the 70's. It was one of the first really great acoustical albums.

  • @20ChampX2
    @20ChampX2 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    To NonFictionRobert: Lightfoot is one of those voices that my generation (I'm 52) was blessed with. John Denver, Jim Croce, Neil Diamond, Gordon Lightfoot and of course, Harry Chapin...We had the best of the music world then, but many now don't remember it, and in doing so, miss out on what was so great.

    Two outstandin' Lightfoot Classics. It's fantastic that younger generations respect, appreciate and feel the Spirit of this fine Musician. I was born in 1974 when this hit was released. A Humble Man that Loved writing His own songs. You should check out Gordon & Johnny Cash singin' together.

  • @FinnJackiePedersen

    Gordon Lightfoot is my favourite musical artist!
    He made me want to learn to play guitar.
    I saw him live in early 2009 in Calgary, and he put on an excellent show.
    One of my favourite things to do is get drunk, put a stack of Lightfoot LPs on the record changer, pull out my guitar, and play along.

    This is the way music should be. Write your songs, play them, sing them and IF people liked it your a star. No gimmick, no video, no talent contest on T.V. with judges and call in or text vote. Just PURE TALENT .
