I had to stop listening to his music after my divorce. I learned he died in a text message from my estranged daughter, who I hadn't heard from in 11 years. She said she heard he died and she broke down crying. She remembered me singing his songs when she went to work with me. We are due to meet up to get reacquainted this Summer.

I am also from Orillia and Gord and my dad were friends. When I was a little kid, he came by our house. Sitting on our couch, he pulled out his 12 string and played Sundown and Pussywillows and Cattails! It was so inspirational that as I got older, I taught myself to play guitar and have been playing now for almost 50 years. We may miss him but he.left us with his greatest gift; his music. RIP Gord!

Gordon Lightfoot ist mit seiner Musik ein weiterer Beleg dafür, daß die beste Rock- und Popmusik aus den 70ern kommt, mit gelegentlichen Schlenkern in den 80ern. "Gords Gold" kaufte ich direkt nach Erscheinen - die Songs sind verblüffend frisch. Für die Kanadier ist "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" unsterblich, und "If you can read my mind" gehört zu den ergreifenden Liebesliedern aus jener Zeit. Ein großer Musiker, dieser Gordon Lightfoot.

Heard "Sundown" on a transistor radio in the 70s as a little kid. Still remember being entranced by the sound of the guitar & hypnotized by the lyrics even though they went way over my 5 or 6 year old head. Growing up around the Great Lakes in Chicago, you appreciate the terrifying beauty of winter storms on the water and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" spoke especially to people like me. RIP Gordon 😞

GL is a permanent musical fixture in my life. On a snowy night in Toledo in 1983, I held hands with a date as he sang "Song for a Winter's Night." Magical, even though it turned out to be our only date! Years later, married for over 20 years, the actual love of my life and I finally saw him together. If old Gord could see us now, I know he'd be so proud.

There is so much loss in the world every day that sometimes one becomes inured to it. But Gordon Lightfoot's passing has made me weep. For the starkness of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald bring up memories of those of us from coastal towns standing around in fear as the gales of November came early. To "If I Could Read Your Mind," helping me break up with a fiance. And the concert where my Uncle Mike and I shared a magnificent evening sharing our love of this amazing singer-songwriter and person. Rest in Peace, Gordon Lightfoot. May your memory be eternal.

Ive listened to Mr. Lightfoots music since 1974. On my 18th birthday, one of my older brothers bought me a copy of Gords Gold. Have listened to it over the years wanting to see him live in concert. Finally got to see him live while i was in north east Wyoming working bout 12 years back. Was a real treat to see him do his hits from my youth. Smile on my face and a tear in my eye. R.I.P. Sir. Your music is still timeless.

I've loved Gordon for what seems like forever...he overcame a lot in his life and enriched the world with his heartfelt songs. One of Dylan's favorite songwriters...and that's saying something. Amazing legacy he left behind...second to none, IMHO. Missin' ya, Gord, but I can speak for millions worldwide you're not forgotten...ever.
