#FlashbackFriday (aka #TBT redux) #1962: "Remember Me (I'm the One)" #GordonLightfoot's first big hit. Top 10 in #Canada, also charted across the border in #Detroit and #Buffalo. Starts around 1:50. Lovely 🎶 🇨🇦 ❤️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmCarFE1NGc&t=110s
#FunFactFriday The chorus of #DuranDuran's "Save a Prayer" is based on #GordonLightfoot's "If You Could Read My Mind". Everybody loves Gordo ;-) 🎶 🎵 ❤️ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Uxc9eFcZyM
#TBT Hard to pick an all-time fave, but this has gotta be way up there. Still sounds lovely in the springtime ;-) 🎶 🇨🇦 ❤️ #GordonLightfoot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfyDs6uXww0
“At 3 p.m. Tuesday, the bells at Mariners’ Church rang out again — now chiming 30 times to honor those perished sailors along with the artist who famously memorialized them in song. Lightfoot made the Detroit church bells famous in ‘The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.’ Today they chimed an additional time to mark his death.” #GordonLightfoot #Michigan #Detroit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIq1ELxH2do
“Tuesday’s bell ceremony was arranged quickly, and a handful of Lightfoot fans gathered outside the church on a gray, drizzly afternoon for the 3 p.m. moment. Among them was a bagpiper who was invited inside, where he performed a galvanizing ‘Amazing Grace.’” #GordonLightfoot #Michigan #Detroit https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/music/brian-mccollum/2023/05/02/gordon-lightfoot-mariners-church-detroit-bells/70175392007/
“Lightfoot, who sailed in the Mackinac Yacht Races, reportedly read about the Nov. 10, 1975 sinking in a Newsweek magazine article, ‘The Cruelest Month.’ The article’s title was an allusion to T.S. Eliot’s poem ‘The Waste Land,’ and Lightfoot turned the first few lines into a song.” #GordonLightfoot #Michigan https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2023/05/02/gordon-lightfoot-edmund-fitzgerald-song-michigan/70173839007/

#GordonLightfoot Way up there with my all-time faves, and I'm not alone. Grew up with him on the radio, saw him live 3 times and was looking forward to seeing him again. Also a super nice guy, according to friends who met him while camping. So long, God bless, and thank you for the music! 🎶 🇨🇦 ❤️ https://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/gordon-lightfoot-dead-1.6828991

It’s a surreal and sometimes unnerving feeling to watch your life replay itself on screen, but I am honoured to have my story told by such a creative team. Seeing the old footage and hearing the words of my dear friends and collaborators takes me back to both the good times and the not so good ones. Throughout my career, the loyalty and support of my fans have been a constant. They were there with me every step of the way, even when others were not. I hope they enjoy this trip down memory lane. — Anne Murray
A small-town girl from a Nova Scotia coal mining town becomes a Canadian icon and international superstar. Pure, honest, or just plain ol’ good, no matter how Anne Murray’s voice was described, it was always clear she has a remarkable gift. Throughout Anne’s decades-spanning international career, her songs topped the charts, her TV specials set records, she performed and collaborated with music royalty, and she converted casual listeners into die-hard fans with her undeniable talent. Anne Murray: Full Circle is a full-length, fully authorised documentary featuring an original, in-depth interview with Anne sharing anecdotes, memories, and observations as 19 familiar hit songs and breathtaking archival footage illuminate Anne’s storied career. Original new interviews with the artists, collaborators, and colleagues who knew her best including Shania Twain, k.d. lang, Bonnie Raitt, Jann Arden, Kenny Loggins, Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Allen and others are seamlessly woven into the story and paired with rarely seen material from her personal archives, telling the story of a ground-breaking woman who seized control of her career and soared to the heights of fame without failing to stay true to herself. Throughout the film, we not only celebrate the unforgettable music of Anne Murray but experience the full spectrum of the small-town singer turned superstar, pioneer, and icon.
