The Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist achieved international success in folk, folk-rock, and country music. He is credited with helping to define the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and 1970s. Died in a hospital in Toronto of natural causes. Lightfoot, 84, had been in ill health over the last decade.

One of my all-time favorite artists.

Bob Dylan once said of Gordon Lightfoot's songs......"you never want them to end"

A great source of family pride is that (allegedly) I had a great aunt who went out on a date with Gordon Lightfoot many decades ago.

(My mom's side of the family hails from Upstate New York / Lower Canada)

RIP, Gordo.

Here's one of the best songs ever:
