Gordon Lightfoot Greatest Hits (Full Album) [Official Video]

[@philipstoddard1502]

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.

[@chadfarber6147]

Never give up…simply beautiful how one’s heart can be moved to a powerful new beginning…♥️🙏🏻😪

I pray that you are reunited with your daughter this summer. God gives many ways to reconcile with those who have been hurt and carry that pain for years . The connection you both have through this music may be one of them . Please post an update 😊

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!

I bought a Gord’s Gold cassette in the early 80’s and listened to it every night while working in the oil fields of Texas! It always gave me joy and inspiration when listening to the depth and beauty of Gordon Lightfoot’s musical genius in this collection! RIP to the finest Canadian troubadour that ever lived!

Thank you for the warm welcome to Canada one spring time in the 90s, complete with a thunderstorm. Rest in eternal peace.

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.

Missing the man and his music. I learned to play listening to Gord and John Denver. Left the navy in 74. Ended up on the street in San Francisco in 75. Played Gords songs there for change. I have everything he ever did. I have copied every piece of sheet music and have every recording saved. Thanks Gord. Through everything Ive been through in my life, you were there with a song for it. Amen. God keep you.

[@LindaChamberlain-Jones]

He was much loved in the UK too. Amazing singer/songwriter. Thanks Gord from an admiring fan.

[@amandardonnet]

That was so beautiful. ❤

[@georgechipman9140]

I too was in the Navy from 1973 -1977. I listened to Lightfoot with head phones on a reel to reel….Sundown was going big and Care Free Highway…..but I listen to all his stuff for hours and hours. It never gets old….

[@stevenmeyers1226]

it was 1978. anytime spent with dad was awesome and spent listening to great music. I was on the summer side of life, and my carefree highway was 95 north to Baxter State Park in Millinocket, Maine. RIP DAD. RIP GORDON. ❤ 🙏

[@natalieturko4808]

"Song for a Winter's Night" is one of the most beautiful ballads I've ever heard. Gordon Lightfoot truly was a Canadian music legend.

[@CameronMartens-z7u]

It was spring 1973, Vancouver, my first big concert, GL came out on stag, sat on a stool, and played 2 1/2 hrs straight . We were a school tour, and I asked principle Hawks: is a normal performance[ I was 12], Mr. Hawks said: this IS GLhe is the very best! 51 years has not dulled that emotional statement, for I didn’t see his tears, through my own. It’s difficult to type, tears of joy, not sorrow,( Susan said it best)! Cam

[@bieuxyongson]

I love Don Quixote but all the songs on that album are amazing. ❤️❤️

[@turkfiles]

Absolutely! “Song for a Winter’s Night” is my favorite as well. The picture he paints in one’s mind makes you feel like you’re there sharing his feelings.

[@jamescourt4703]

Such a sad moment when I heard of Gordon's passing. I was a teenage lad when I came across him. My late parents played his songs on a regular basis. As I grew older I began to appreciate what a very clever musician Gordon was. Rip dear friend. You will always be remembered.

[@Epikcameraman]

I'm 73 and Mr Lightfoot,s music tells alot of my life's story. I play guitar and his music lives on inside of me. I do Carefree Highway and Minstrel of the dawn. One of the world's great lyricists!

RIP Gordon Lightfoot. There has never been anyone else like him. What a blessing he was in the world of music!

[@elizabethfollows7082]

I heard about his death when I woke up this morning and also came to celebrate the music of a great musician. I grew up on his music as my dad had every vinyl record he ever recorded. Rest in Peace, Mr. Lightfoot.
