Sad that he's gone, but not unexpected. The last few times I saw him he seemed to be declining. I think I first saw him in 1969 or 1970 at Ohio State after I bought "Lightfoot!" and was blown away. The last time was in 2016 or 17 in Dayton. We heard him say sort of under his breath to one of his band mates, "I think I may have a Trilogy in me tonight." We weren't supposed to hear it, but we did and the crowd went crazy, everyone on their feet applauding. But his voice was really weak and the concert ended without him singing it.
He wrote so many great songs. His talent was a tremendous gift to us. Thank you Gordon, you will live forever in your songs.
I probably have 50 songs on my "Lightfoot" playlist and I'll be listening to them all day. The "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is NOT on the list. Never liked that song.
