Loved his music. Snuck into one of his performances as a teen. We appropriated some badges and helped to unload a truck. They thought we'd been there the entire time. We asked for tickets and they gave them to us for 15 minutes of work. It was the Troubadour if I remember correctly.

I listen to the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald almost every week. The story in the song is haunting to me, having been a sailor.
RIP Gordon Lightfoot.

“Ain’t no sunshine when she’s gone” is one of my favorite songs.

I don’t listen to it when my wife is around. I don’t want to feed her ego.

My father is a massive Gordon Lightfoot fan and as a consequence so am I. My childhood was filled with his music. Sunday roasts always had Gordon on in the background and I was often asked to flip the record, more often than not Gord's Gold, on the player and carefully drop the needle onto the start of the next side.

RIP Gordon. Thank you for the music.

Another great musician gone, but his music lasts forever. I've always had Gordon Lightfoot and Neil Diamond as institutions pegged to a similar folk/pop genre, and these two have stood the test of time as so many popular musical styles unfolded from the late 50's thru to today.
RIP G.L.

This one cuts deep. One of my all time favorites. When he sang, "in the early morning rain." I could feel the rain. A true store teller much like Croce and Chapin. And another part of my youth fades away.

Jim Croce's early death was a huge loss. Think of all the music we have missed out on. The man was a genius.
