They're just dropping like flies these days.
Bachman the other day, the great Harry Belafonte last week, now Lightfoot...

Damn.

Great song.

Another Canadian bites the dust.
I saw Gordon playing at the library many moons ago.
He was a prolific songwriter.

RIP

Great singer and songwriter, RIP

I think this covers his 3 best songs now in this thread:

Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald, Sundown, and If You Can Read My Mind

I was looking into tickets for a concert of his 5 years or so ago but couldn't make it happen

RIP

Carefree Highway man I love that song

Simply one of the best. Man, I've spent a lot of time listening to his works.

A very fitting tribute:
