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.
queuing up Cold on the Shoulder now and Don Quixote is next
Rest In Peace Gordon
