It's not too often I would shed a tear for a celebrity, but a small part of me died with Gordon last night. Lightfoot was without question, my favorite artist and one of the most prolific songwriters in the history of music. I had the honor of seeing him in concert three times with my mom, whose vinyl Lightfoot records as a kid got me on the same kick.  It is so hard to pick a favorite of his, because I have so many,.......but tonight, this born and raised kid from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan has to roll this:

 

Rest in Peace

This overall to me might be his best song, not my favorite but perhaps his best.

This one might be my fav of his, certainly not one of his more well known which is a tough choice.  So many brilliant songs.

And then a couple of the best love songs of all time:

RIP LEGEND. Great great great songwriter. When the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald isn’t your best song, you’re a legend. I’ve been listening to Gordon since about 1977. 
 

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I am a ghost, you can't see

If I could read your mind, love
What a tale your thoughts could tell
Just like a paperback novel
The kind the drugstore sells
When you reach the part where the heartaches come
The hero would be me
But heroes often fail
And you won't read that book again
Because the ending's just too hard to take

I'd walk away like a movie star
Who gets burned in a three way script
Enter number two, a movie queen to play the scene
Of bringing all the good things out in me
But for now, love, let's be real

I never thought I could act this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone and I just can't get it back

If you could read my mind, love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie 
'Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You'll know that I'm just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack

I never thought I could feel this way
And I've got to say that I just don't get it
I don't know where we went wrong
But the feeling's gone
And I just can't get it back

CRT is one of my favorites as well. Saw him in concert three times, but he never played it due to how long it goes and the difficulty it takes for him to play it. At my last show, January 2022, he actually addressed it and said he would love to play it, but just can't anymore,. He then went on at 83 and proceeded to belt out 15 songs.
