God, Gordon Lightfoot's death has affected me greatly. I'm 74, live in Toronto, and have seen GL perform at Massey Hall over 20 times. My daughter worked at Massey and met Gordon. Makes me think of my own mortality. Goodbye Gordon, you will be missed and your songs never forgotten.

At 42 I am starting to feel my age for the first time and seeing the musical icons of my generation aging is always a reminder. At least your generation had the best musicians tho. I don't think any 42 year olds will be talking about the music of my generation when I'm 74 😅

@AnNWord Cook Cook you Don't miss out on Gordon Lightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind", Glen Campbell's "Witchita Lineman", Jerry Jeff Walker's "LA Freeway" or "Mr. Bojangles", try James Taylor, Cat Stevens, all good singer / song writers. Good entertainers. So much good music out there.

Gordon Meridith Lightfoot, one of the finest persons upon this earth who have so much along with put so much into his music, inspired so much depth into ones own feelings, touching many who truly listen each and every word he wrote, and produced. It's hard to let go of this fine man and his giving soul he had within his life, and he will be very much missed by many out there.

To those who knew him, he was a most generous man always interested in you and what you were doing, unlike the usual egocentric types. He took care of his musicians, a thing unheard of for most musicians. A giant of a singer-songwriter and a most wonderful human being.

Gordon Lightfoot will remain my favorite artist of all time. I think that I only lacked 3 or 4 of his albums and certainly saw his superb concert performances. However, his death really didn't come as a surprise to me. Time and poor health were wearing him down... and the young and powerful master was no more. Sadly, I believe he should have stopped touring several years ago. He simply needed to rest on his laurels.

I have always loved hearing Gordon Lightfoot even in concert at the Concord Pavilion many years ago before his health problems started to crop up. I also loved Ian and Sylvia as a child, and was gravely affected by his passing one years ago. His Four Strong Wind made me cry on numerous occasions including the duet with Sylvia in Everybody has to say Goodbye with church organ and piano- I remember listening to it on the record my parents had for many years. I always wanted to see them in concert but never had a chance because I was at Preparatory school in Illinois at that time and they were in Canada. I hope to see the complete reunion concert on video if it exists Upon hearing Gordon Lightfoot’s passing, I’m incredibly sad but blessed that I saw him in concert two times. I will miss him terribly. I never saw Ian and Sylvia, including John Denver in concert, especially in person so yes, I’m upset.

Gords Gold from 1975 one of his greatest albums--- all the songs are great....Amazing songwriter unique voice and great lyrics...I sang many of his songs in the 70s just because I loved his music so much. I saw him perform about 1976 at Sahara Tahoe and it was a night I will never forget. We met him backstage and I got his and Terry Clements autographs and spoke with Gordo about playing some of his songs he then encouraged me to write my own...He left his mark on me as a acoustic guitar musician throughout my life. I plan to sing some more of his songs as they are timeless masterpieces....Thanks for the legacy of tunes....Gordo

For lovin me is a great song, depicting a joyful careless attitude, leaving a trail of broken hearts and devastation. As he ssys in "Oh so sweet", "It's so easy to live with no fear or deceit But sometimes I think maybe I have skipped a beat The road I chose was not all it should be But sometimes it was, oh, so sweet". We grow and learn from our mistakes, hopefully.

Gordon Lightfoot was a part of growing up in the 60s and 70s. I corresponded with him some years ago. I've seen him in concert and his music connects on a everyday level with us in Canada that I think we all feel a bond. I have a lovely personalized signed photo in my studio area. Every guitar practice includes Gord. He was most definitely a inspiration and we'll love him forever.

I've put together a Gord's Gold A-Z compilation, alphabetizing what I feel are his best tracks. I couldn't remove 185 tracks (186 if you count Gotta Get Away/Whispers of the North as two separate tracks, which I combined). This includes B sides, studio demos and live recordings in Toronto coffeehouses. Listening to his catalogue in an A-Z format really makes you appreciate his entire career and his abilities as a singer, songwriter and musician. His greatest hits compilations are great, but are not complete, IMO. I hope we get a boxed set someday.

I am puzzled. I thought "That's What You Get For Loving Me" was a great song *because* the song's narrative character *was* colossal jerk. However, I further imagined him to have a deep-seated lack of self-respect due to a deficiency in empathy and a lack of faith (or desire?) that he could change. One need not apologize for writing such a song. So, what then was Gordon's intention with the song? Was he seriously singing autobiographically and not caring about some woman who was hurt by loving him?
