I didn’t know he wrote the song “If you could read my mind”. Makes me think of my Dad.

You got it Joe. 100% no doubt the legend will so richly live on.

Such a talent! Saw him at Bethel Woods in NY a few years back...RIP Gord

His music was a part of my growing up years and always captivated my attention when I heard his songs on the radio. He is yet another legend that leaves his legacy in our lives. When music held some somber meaning and shared some life stories and experiences with good melodies. A great talent. RIP

Back when music was understandable. RIP

^^^ What Corky said.

The kids always liked listening to this one on the way to Canada when they were little. RIP GL.

Second cup of Coffee

Godspeed

He was one of the greats all right. RIP

Saw him live in Oregon in the 80's. The only "big name" concert I've ever been to.

Saw him a small theater in Colorado in the ‘90’s. Great show. You could tell he and the band enjoyed what they were doing. Great writer, singer and story teller.

Spread his ashes over the wreck!
RIP

My brother sends me a link to the song every year on the anniversary of the wreck.

They don't make singers like him anymore.

RIP

Always enjoyed a Lightfoot song

Makes me think of my father also.

RIP Gordon.

awesome voice RIP
sundown has some cool string bending electric guitar that was ahead of its time.

"A bell rang at 3 p.m. Tuesday May 2nd at Mariners Church in Detroit, the "maritime sailors' cathedral" Lightfoot references in the song, 30 times, 29 in memory of the sailors and once for Lightfoot."

Played a bunch of his tunes the other evening putting up some beaver…good songs to get stuck in your head. Was humming sundown for a few days
RIP

Sad day for sure, a friend of mine was a huge fan but never took the time to go see him live, just a reminder that you shouldn’t push things off.

Good story in the newest Wisconsin Outdoor News.

RIP. He was a truly gifted person.

I still can't get through The Wreck without getting wrecked. Its embarrassing, but I choke up every time. Real tears, a little snot and some slobber.
Its a whale of a story, and Gordon's voice and guitar work is haunting.
