- Gordon Lightfoot sings the folk classic July 2015 in NYC at the B.B. King Blues Club. The beautiful haunting words and melody take on a new appeal sung by Lightfoot, who is now 76 and recovered from very serious illness in 2002. In a brief introduction, Lightfoot reveals where he got inspiration for the melody of the song that helped make him famous.
Give the man a break, he is almost 80, and although he sounds much different, he can sing better than I can in the shower!!!.....lol
Gord has been around forever but the time has come to lay down the guitar and leave the stage. I don't want to see that happen but just listen and if you don't agree that that wonderful voice has been replaced by a old man's voice that is not appealing then you are deaf.
John M Your so right, he and other entertainers like Bob Dylan should hang it up and stop taking money from people who are expecting the past voices.This is the reason I am not going to see him in Red Bank, NJ. So Sad!!!!
John M I loved Gordon Lightfoot's sound. Yes he sounded different than the older studio recordings. But consider this is a man who has practically come back from the dead to share some of the most hauntingly beautiful songs ever written. Lightfoot was in a coma for six weeks, had a tracheotomy, and many surgeries. His stage presence and sound reflects what he has been though. When he sang his songs with ghost themes like "If you could read my mind" and "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" they seemed more powerful, not less.
