Only just spotted this - shows how caught up with celebrity mainstream media is, rather than true talent. Wonderful songwriter and performer.

In Canada Gordon Lightfoot was an icon. There'S even a Gordon Lightfoot statue in Orilla, Ontario. Here's a pic of it

Sad news indeed, although listening to him over the past 3 or 4 years, his voice had really deteriorated unfortunately. In his prime, he was amazing in my opinion, with a unique sound. I have learned a few of his songs, and will do my best to play them to as many people as possible, to do my bit in keeping his memory alive.
