Gordon Lightfoot, Canadian folk legend, dead at 84

Truly an icon of the music world. I have always loved his writing and am deeply saddened by this news. I can’t imagine how music and songwriting today would be the same without his contributions. I am a big fan of Bruce Cockburn, a fellow Canadian, but have always thought of him as a modern Gordon Lightfoot. He leaves a huge legacy and a long trail of great albums. 
He is the second Canadian this week following Tim Bachman, but no comparison between the two.

Rest In Peace Gordon

He was surely one of a kind, and he will be missed . We are fortunate to be left with his music and wonderful memories.

Back in my early folksinging/acoustic guitar playing days, he was the artist I emulated the most. I just loved the guy. Did I see him perform at the Troubadour once-upon-a-time? My memory fails. Rest in Peace!

Bummer! One of favorite male vocalists.

Had the pleasure of seeing him several times. He put on a wonderful show.

R.I.P. Gordon

Growing up in Canada we used to sing his songs at school music classes. I still listen to his music.
