Rest in peace Gordon… What a beautiful song ❤
It's about the breakup of his first marriage
@@davidglow3 True but still beautiful and poignant
The guy on lead is killing it in the dark.
On May 1, 2023 the whole world became Canadians. His immense talents made him an international treasure and he will be missed!
Some of us have been for years, but thanks for making me emotional all over again three days later.
@@ska4me7 months for me.
A beautiful sentiment.
Just a man and his guitar...
It's one of the best songs ever written.
Wonderful tribute.
May you rest in peace 🕊 Gordon Lightfoot.
🕊~❤️~🕊
He’s got a nice tasteful little band there. No unnecessary showiness, just playing exactly what the music calls for and letting the singer be heard. I love these old Midnight Special clips.
May you rest in peace forever.
@@joesensor4508 So true! These clips are pure gold! Thank you for sharing! 💖
Beautiful song, bringing me back to another very wonderful time in my life. Sad to hear of your passing Gordon. Condolences to your family and loved ones. You are a legend.
don't forget Red Shea who was lead guitar on this masterpiece
So many people learn to play an instrument but only some are gifted with songwriting and storytelling abilities such as Gordon Lightfoot. Thank you for your beautiful songs. RIP
You’re damn right
This song is one of the best of the singer/songwriter era of the early 70'S. Unbelievably great!
He was the ultimate storyteller with a voice that touched one's heart. I was very lucky to see him four times. RIP dear one.
Rest In Peace Gorden Lightfoot 70’s FM Radio Icon Your deep within all our hearts!
Another legend has passed.😢
This is one of the most perfect songs I’ve ever heard. I grew up with Gordon and it never gets old listening to him. If this came out today it would shoot to #1 quickly.
Your music lives on forever 💚
One of those rare songs where no matter what you’re doing you have to stop and try to absorb every note no matter how many times you’ve heard it before
So true. Makes time stop inside of me.
Thank you for this. Rip Gordon, you touched the world with your music
I still love this song, after all of these decades.
My favorite Gordon song! He will be dearly missed. 😭
I used to watch this show as a young teenager; this was our MTV back then :) Quality music is timeless, this song is an all-around masterpiece of lyrics, chords, composition, and that voice. Just a man, his guitar, and a microphone...and a couple of friends to round out a great performance. Thank you for sharing your gift with us Gordon, Rest In Peace after a life well lived.
1000 times better than anything the MTV era produced.
Rest In Peace. Thank you for the wonderful song.
I’m so, so sad. He will be missed by millions. I was fortunate to see him many, many years ago. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A live performance back the 70s without lip-synching. Fantastic.
I saw him 9 months ago in concert, and he seemed frail. THIS video is how i will always remember him. RIP
God Speed Gordon! Your songs were absolute magic!🎶♥️
This is a beautiful song ! Rest in peace Gordon Light Foot !
Thank you, Burt Sugarman, and The Midnight Special. RIP, Mr. Lightfoot.
You are welcome, Burt Sugarman
The truest Canadian treasure.
a WORLD treasure!
One of the two great Canadian Gords
Still can't believe how good these videos look and sound. RIP Gordon.
It’s about time Burt Sugarmans estate made a TH-cam channel for Midnight Special. We need to see these performances straight from the source… RIP Gordon Lightfoot. Your music meant the world to me…
Rest in Peace!!! Thank you all for the music you left us.
Another travesty this man did not live to see an induction into the rock hall of fame. Please induct Randy Bachman, BTO and the Guess Who before you embarrass yourselves further. If Joni Mitchell is in and Neil Young are in, Gordon Lightfoot, Bachman and Cummings, Paul Rodgers and Bryan Adams should all be in. And I'm not even Canadian. RIP Mr. Lighfoot thank you for your contributions to music and humanity.
You are so right ,his music was so good he should be in every hall of Fame except rap
@@kathywright6853 - Definitely the Composers Hall of Fame!
The RnR Hall is a joke.
I didn’t even really listen to BTO, and I don’t care for Bryan Adams, over Young or Mitchell, yet I can recognize they’ve had enough impact on music to deserve the same recognition in greatest music of rock n roll history.
Who cares about hall of fame anymore. He’s the best.
I post a video of me singing Gordon lightfoot follow my TH-cam channel and subscribe please
"Hey - I just picked up a new album called 'Summertime Dream', ya coming over to listen to it with me?"...
The Album is worn but is still spinning on the platter. Respect
We were so blessed in the early 70's with great acoustic performers. Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, Glenn Campbell, and several others.
Thanx for all the beautiful music you made while here on Earth. R.I.P.
As a lifelong guitarist and lover of SONGS it's just fantastic. "The hero would be me..." Thank you maestro Lightfoot. We love you
Actually one of the top 5 songs in music history
Thank you. Big Gord from Orillia Ontario Canada. May a national and global treasure rest in peace.
RIP Lightfoot! You wrote the songs of my childhood… a.m. Gold
Another legend gone thank you for all the great music R I P
Perfect voice
Perfect guitar playing
Perfect song
I knew he was a brilliant songwriter, and If I Could Read Your Mind is a masterpiece, but also what a superb performer...
The world has lost a superlative talent. RIP Maestro.
Thank you, Sugarman family (or whoever actually runs this channel).
Thank you very much for the nice note
@@burtsugarman-pq3mp Heard your interview with Bob Lefsetz, and I thought it was fantastic! What a fascinating life! I hope somebody makes your story into a movie. Thanks again for posting this video, and for creating this incredible TH-cam channel.
Great track!! RIP....
rest in peace✨🦋💙⚡️✨
Beautiful, I was about 18 when this was released, love it now as I did then! Sleep well fella!
I really love this man's voice. The ultimate singer-songwriter to me.
This is one the most haunting songs ever written. RIP Gordon 🙏 and thank you for all of your beautiful songs! ❤
A great Canadian's gone but his music stays with us forever! Salut Gordon!
This song has always made my heartache, now it makes me cry!
I surprised myself when I still remembered all the lyrics.
Thank you ❤
I just found out today oh, that Gordon Lightfoot died last Monday, and 84 years old, I used to watch him on the midnight special back in the the 70s,80s you're in heaven now with your parents😢
Gene Clark, ex of The Byrds and a great songwriter himself, said this was the most beautiful song he'd ever heard. Whenever I hear it I'm inclined to agree completely.
Thanks.
Such a gorgeous song. Rest In Peace, Sir Gordon, and thank you.
💔 😔 🙏🌈🌉✨️❤️🕊
One of favorites of Gordon's. RIP dear Gordon. You will be sorely missed. 🙏
Such an important part of my childhood. My father introduced me to Gordon when i was young. He passed when i was 18. That's 34 years ago now. This music I still share with him when i hear it. RIP Gordon Lightfoot
An artist whom I shall surely miss. Those of you who remember him, as well as Jim Croce, Pete Seeger, Harry Chapin Cat Stevens and many others from an era; that sadly can never be reproduced.
This song though, and its lyrics remind me of something I once had
Love my fellow Canadian ❤️ brilliant song writer!
A great singer loved his songs in my youth❤
An absolutely perfect song. In every way
Icon. A master song writer and vocalist who cherished by the music aficionados !
Musical soul poetry.
This one will sail across the ages, a real dream weaver. Wonderful song!
God puts on this earth very few people with this kind of talent. We are all blessed by the gifts this man possesses, and what our minds and hearts wander in his words and melodies anyone that ever seen them or heard him perform will always say what a privilege it was to see him in person, rest in peace Gordon Lightfoot thank you for all the beautiful music you created for the people of this planet SFJ
Great Song Gordon was a Awesome Singer Gordon go And R.I.P. My Friend God Bless
May God rest his soul… 🥲
Beyond lovely.
Be see'n ya Gordon. Thanks for the tunes. RIP. Cheers
Rest In Peace ❤
One of my tear jerker , favorite songs…
🙏🤗
I have always loved this song. I remember so vividly when it started getting radio play when I was a sophomore in high school. It’s hauntingly beautiful. When I got married, I had another of his songs- “Beautiful”- played before the ceremony started. “Annie’s Song” (John Denver), “Evergreen” (Barbra Streisand”) and “Make Love Stay” (Dan Fogelberg) were also among my selections
An incredible song by an amazing guitarist, an amazing lyricist, an amazing voice, an amazing person whose soul went back to the ONE who created him. Hope he's singing in the Heavenlies. RIP
Ik hoorde dit nummer van Gordon Lightfoot voor het eerst toen ik met mijn moeder en oma in Terschelling was. Zo mooi dit nummer van Gordon Lightfoot!
His vocal runs are absolutely Incredible!
I absolutely love this song and so relevant to me right now ….. this is a masterpiece of music
I love this. Just beautiful! RIP Gordon. You're a treasure.
The voice, the music. So powerful yet so humble. Rest in peace, Gordon Lightfoot.

May God bless your soul. I remember being 12 and seeing you on the midnight special. Such great yet turbulent times I'll always adore 🥰

I lived in a city that had a great radio station and always enjoyed when they played this stong. This song still sounds great today.
Voice of an Angel

I don't use the word often, but there's no doubt, Gordon Lightfoot was a legend.

Gordon, you are gonna be alive in our hearts. Thank you.
Thanks Gordon. Masterpiece song.
I listened to him as a young girl. I was decidedly Canadian in those moments. I remember all those heart-breaking lyrics and grew up to know what they meant. It's a killer, this one.
Saw him play in Southern California (Laguna Beach) in 1986. He was amazing!
A true genius. RIP
Masterpiece
