Default Some Gordon Lightfoot

A great performance of Gordon's Affair On 8th Avenue.

Some of my favorite Lightfoot songs:

First four from his 1971 album Summer Side of Life









Three from the Sundown album:










Flip side of the single If You Could Read My Mind.


Red Shea on lead guitar--playing perfect accompaniment here.


Rainy Day People--His last #1 US Billboard Adult Contemporary single, 1975.

I watch that full BBC concert a lot with my clients.

Such a treasure to have that archived for the future!

Gordon had a very good run, but his passing still cuts. "Talking in your sleep" was the first song that I learned to play and sing. What a great talent.

Nice to see the mention for Red Shea, a fabulous guitarist and so much a part of Gord's sound in the early years. He also played with Ian and Sylvia and was a fixture on the Tommy Hunter TV show for many years. I even heard him sing a tune there once.
