RIP
"Sundown and The Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald were my two favorites by him.

The Edmond Fitzgerald song has to be one of greatest storytelling events ever known. I would call it many things, mesmerizing, unforgettable and a masterpiece.
Lightfoot did both the writing and singing and the performance was incredible on both accounts.

All of I know about the actual event or wreck is courtesy of the his song and from a one hour documentary that the song made me want you to watch years ago. I think his work honoured the crew memory and cherished them and the families that survived them.

RIP and thanks for the lasting memories

Gordon Lightfoot explains why he wrote ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald’

The 1975 maritime disaster inspired one of Lightfoot's biggest hits in his 50-year recording career.

" ....She's been looking like a queen in a sailor's dream
And she don't always say what she really means

Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain
Sometimes I think it's a shame
When I get feeling better when I'm feeling no pain

I can picture every move that a man could make
Getting lost in her loving is your first mistake...."
