mercman Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Gord's Gold !!!!! Happy birthday too Skinny !!!!
Billy Bob Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 My hat is off for Mr Lightfoot....
Old Man Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) Was at a concert of his in Brandon Manitoba many years ago on the day of his birthday. The crowd sang happy birthday to him at the end of the concert. His response was to treat us to several encores which was enjoyed and appreciated by the crowd. Definitely one of Canada's greatest talents. Happy Birthday Gord. Edited November 17, 2011 by Old Man
bigbuck Posted November 17, 2011 Report Posted November 17, 2011 Love his music but not his politics. He was out supporting the Occupiers downtown last week. Happy bday Gordo!

mercman Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 One of my favorite songs by Gord. Always makes me misty

johnl Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 he's a great singer that's for sure,theres a funny video on youtube where burton cummings impersonates gordan its good lol
bigugli Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 (edited) Beautiful song of spring. How does someone pick a favourite from all that he wrote or performed. Another one of those great musicians that played Massey Hall year after year. Edited November 18, 2011 by bigugli
Rattletrap2 Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 One of my favorite songs by Gord. Always makes me misty Love the song too, Paul. I know Mr. Lightfoot penned it, but I actually like the version by Valdy even more! I can't find a You tube version that was studio recorded, only a more recent "live" version that is not as good.
Pigeontroller Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 Love his music but not his politics. He was out supporting the Occupiers downtown last week. Happy bday Gordo! Actually he was there supporting his Daughter, who was a protester...

backbay Posted November 18, 2011 Report Posted November 18, 2011 I don't have just one, but aside from his better-known epic tunes, Summer Side of Life is a favourite of mine.
crappieperchhunter Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 How can you possibly pick a Lightfoot favourite? But this is one of mine.
chris.brock Posted November 22, 2011 Report Posted November 22, 2011 a great Canadian, unlike others, I was happy to see him at Occupy Toronto, I'm not in the 1% so keep occupying!
