Gordon Lightfoot RIP

Gordon Lightfoot has sadly passed away. Maybe not the best known singer songwriter but he wrote two of my favourite songs - If you could Read my Mind and The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. RIP.

That’s sad. Lovely smooth voice.

I’m guessing he made a good age, must have been mid to late 70’s

I thought I’d never heard of him, and then Radio 2 played one of his songs and I recognised it.

I was playing the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald in the car just a couple of days ago, sad news.

Yes I know that feeling. You hear the classics but you don't necessarily know who wrote them.

If you could read my mind still sends shivers down my spine. Truly wonderful lyrics.

One of my favourite covers is Eva Cassidy's take on "Early morning rain"

It's divine

His music isn't widely known but boy could he write a song!

As often happens when someone dies it may bring some renewed interest in his music and especially that song.
