Gordon Meredith Lightfoot Jr. was born on November 17, 1938 in Orillia, Ontario. The Canadian treasure has one of those voices that created the soundtrack of the lives of anyone growing up in the 1970s.
Gordon Lightfoot created some of the most popular songs of the era, including “Sundown,” “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Early Morning Rain,” and “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” Although I never sought out his albums, I can sing along with many of the songs written and recorded by this legendary singer-songwriter.
This 1972 performance captures Lightfoot at one of the peaks of his career. It features many of his classic songs, and it is great to see him doing a full show. Check it out.
Although Lightfoot has had some health issues lately, he is still touring and creating new music.
