I just can't seem to stop listening to Gord's music since he passed away. I have "Gord's Gold" going on a loop on Apple Play and just keep falling deeper in love with his music.
I met Gordon years ago when he sang in Springfield, MA Smphony Hall. My husband and I had gone to many of his concerts but this time I said to my husband " I wish I could meet him". My husband turned me around and said, "you're going to" and started pulling me to the back entry. There were guards standing there and my sweet husband walked past them like he belonged there. Gordon was chatting with a few fans but the music group were alone. They introduced themselves and invited us to eat some of the food on the table. It was piled full. Finally Gordon came over. Such a gentleman, nice, warm friendly. He spent about 20 mins talking to us. I wanted his signature but had no paper but I found a charge receipt and all of them signed it. It's now taped to the album cover. That was about 20 years ago. At another concert in Northampton, MA, I sent a request for a song, "Beautiful", my husband and my favorite. I told him my husband had died of cancer, described us so he remembered, and he immediately switch to Beautiful. And it was wonderful.
Also the BTS meaning behind the song. I love the way he sings, as he sings about his life. Depressing as hell. Though, life is life. -I pay close attention to his reaction everytime he sings this song 😂. Mhm hm.
I also asked Gordon several years back to play Beautiful for the most beautiful woman in the world that happened to be my girlfriend. It’s a bit of a story. We were fortunate enough to meet him again several years after that when I just about ran over him on the street, while delivering an award to him.I am writing a manuscript right now that Gordon figures prominently in. Actually the first chapter is just about him (and us and a love story).
Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Ian Tyson, can you count how many great songs these four Canadians have written? And all, during the same timeframe, incredible! And, I was able to see and hear them.
Would you say hello to someone, and you don't need to explain .........And by the way did she mention my name. Gordon your name will be mentioned for years to come and future generation will know who you were too. RIP and God Bless
Thank you Gordon Lightfoot. This song describes my deceased husband!!! He lied and cheated for 26 years and he had over 1000 women before he was through.
I just can't stop crying 😭😭💔 Rest in peace, Gordon. Will cherish your music forever! 🎶🎸
❤
My sentiments exactly. His songs went right to the heart. Rest in Peace Gordon.
Same here
Me too friend💔💜
Thank you, Goedon, for your beautiful, heartfelt music. RIP. You are missed.
Phenomenal; the three of them stirring up Kate Wolf magic for the ages! Heart full to breaking…
R.I.P. Gord. I found out in the middle of class so that was an embarrassing 30 minutes I couldn’t stop crying. He was like a mentor to me.
I just can't seem to stop listening to Gord's music since he passed away. I have "Gord's Gold" going on a loop on Apple Play and just keep falling deeper in love with his music.
Old songs never die, they just get better and better. Thank you Gordon for giving us such great music.
The look on his face is amazing when he pores out his heart felt songs . Thank you for your music Gorden
Once Gordon left us, there’s nobody in song left anymore to fill his void💔💜
Lightfoot isn't only Canadian, he is every nationality.
I still can't think he is gone
This man isn't just a singer/musician; he's a poet as well.
EclecticHillbilly thank you and f the ones that are picking out his short comings which are far and few
@@monaroulette6114 What shortcomings? There are none!
One and only Gordon Lightfoot
He was a treasure.

beautiful story ....God bless
Damn, we’re losing so many great songwriters. Gordon Lightfoot was one of the best.
Gordon, you were my inspiration to play the guitar back then. Now getting close to 40 years later you still inspire me.
Thank you.
Did She Mention My Name brings a tear to my eye every time I hear it. Great song.
ImaCaMan same
Me, too. "is the ice still in the river, are the old folks still the same, and by the way, did she mention my name?"
Me too! Every single †ime! 🥲
❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢

Gordon Lightfoot is a public treasure.
Damn. You were a legend my friend. RIP gentle soul.
God bless Gordon Lightfoot, we enjoyed his music so much,
Gordon Lightfoot is a real Canadian Signing our culture and identity
Wonderful 12 string back in play. Excellent.
Rest in Peace, Gordon "Legend" Lightfoot🙏🕇
Never be another true troubadour. Gord is the King.
Greatest songsmith of all time. Still sounds amazing.
His music will live on,even though he's gone
our father of troubadurs has died
the world is not poor because his songs keep on living
His music was the background of our lives. You could hear it an elevator or walking through the shopping mall.
You are "The Best" .... I know you are a humble man but there's no way around your fabulous songwriting talent .. Thank You Gordon!
Sad day for Canadian music and fans
How could anyone forget this song?! I think I wore out my 12" v on my first Gordy album.
RIP Gordon Lightfoot
Legendary. RIP Gord.
I’m happy he existed
I know you are gone, but I still wanted to say thanks for signing my vinyl copies of Gord's Gold and Sundown for me in 2011. I'll never forget you
As great as ever!
So sad that he is gone. Love all his songs still!
Canada Thanks you.
Such a great artist! No wonder Bob Dylan is a fan of his!
He was such a great song writer!
Such amazing songwriting here....
Thank You Gordon from Muskoka
thank you for all your songs.

Thank you for sharing this. It seems like Gord's voice has actually improved in the past few years.

RIP SAD DAY
You are amazing - Rama was a delight even from the last row beautiful your cd Harmony 🌿🎼🌿

I loved going to one of Gord's annual set of November concerts back in the mid 80's, at Toronto's Massey Hall. Love that Gibson 12 string, Gord !

Thank you Gordon Lightfoot. This song describes my deceased husband!!! He lied and cheated for 26 years and he had over 1000 women before he was through.
It seems to me that u’re doing ok/ good for you GLIGHTfoot
I read he doesn't perform For Lovin' Me anymore because it comes off as pro-sociopath.
Smoking and booze beat the hell out of him...
The BBC version from 1972 was better. I hate it when he skips or leaves out a verse!
El Chupacabra omg
Get a life!
