Gordon Lightfoot has often been credited as the finest singer-songwriter from Canada. His career expands across several decades and has spawned a staggering amount of albums. He has crossed over into multiple genres throughout his career, but is best known for helping set the template for contemporary folk-pop.

Lightfoot was born in Orillia, Ontario, Canada on 17 November 1938 to a manager of a dry cleaning firm. Gordon displayed musical talent as early as the fourth grade and initially focused on his skill as a vocalist. He took on the task of a choir boy at Orillia’s St. Paul’s United Church and showcased his soprano voice on various radio stations, local operettas and festivals. Lightfoot moved on to piano and drums in his teenage years and eventually made the guitar his primary instrument. He understood both standard pop and classical styles and used this advantage in both his solo performances and with his high school folk band, the Teen Timers.

In 1958 Lightfoot embarked on a journey to Hollywood, California to study Jazz composition at Westlake College of Music. While Lightfoot was in California he wrote jingles for television advertisement, but quickly got tired of this job and returned back to Canada to direct his efforts as a folk/country musician.

Before spring-boarding into his career as a solo artist, Lightfoot joined an in-house vocal group known as the Swinging Eight and subsequently fractured into a 2 piece with fellow singer songwriter Terry Whalen to form the Two Tones. By 1963 Lightfoot moved to Great Britain and began performing under his own name. During this period he hosted “The Country & Western Show” and had a certified Canadian hit with his single “Remember Me (I’m the One)”. After hearing the work of Bob Dylan (who is a mutual friend and admirer of Lightfoot) he made a conscious effort to gear his material in a more introspective direction.

Ian and Sylvia Tyson were enamored by Lightfoot’s new approach and acted as a gateway to his management contract with Albert Grossman. In addition to Ian and Sylvia covering Lightfoot’s songs, other artists like Peter, Paul, and Mary, and Marty Robbins also included some of his material in their setlist.

By the mid to late 60s Lightfoot started releasing studio albums at a consistent and relatively fast rate. He put out a total of 5 albums between 1966 and 1969 including: “Lightfoot!”, “The Way I Feel”, “Did She Mention My Name”, Back Here on Earth”, and the live recording “Sunday Concert”. All these albums were highly esteemed and have since gone on to achieve classic status in the folk cannon. Lightfoot was an absolute sensation in his native homeland; however, he only managed to assume a cult following in America. Much of his music became popular in the US via artists like Johnny Cash, Bob Marley, and Elvis Presley.

The 70s saw Lightfoot’s departure from United Artists and his assimilation on to Reprise. Through Reprise he released his slick sounding 6th album “Sit Down Young Stranger”, which contained the single “If You Could Read My Mind” his biggest hit at the time. His follow up “Summer Side of Life” came out in 1971 and both “Don Quixote” and “Old Dan’s Records” followed in 1972. Lightfoot’s next album “Sundown” did not come out until 1974. During this time Lightfoot was diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy and consequently had to let up on his touring and recording schedule. Despite this setback Lightfoot managed to output some of his most complex and commercially viable material such as “Summertime Dream”, “Cold on the Shoulder”, and “Endless Wire”.

Though Lightfoot released a substantial amount of material in the 80s his work was becoming more overlooked in the US and his time was displaced among charity organizations and his involvement in acting. Lightfoot returned with some of his strongest material in the 90s with “Waiting for You” (1993) and “A Painter Passing Through”; however, his career was abruptly put on hold when he suffered an abdominal aortic aneurysm that put him in a coma for 6 weeks. Before his decline in health Lightfoot had penned material that would eventually surface on his 2004 album “Harmony”.

Live reviews

Although Gordon Lightfoot is now 75 years old, he is somewhat of a living legend in the folk-pop world. As a leading artist who defined this genre, over the years, notably in the 60s and 70s, Gordon Lightfoot has been dubbed Canada’s greatest songwriter time and time again. With an incredible back catalogue of hits and solid albums, I don’t think anyone would refuse a chance to see him perform live.

With multi-platinum selling albums under his belt, and collaborations with the likes of Elvis Presley, and Johnny Cash, Lightfoot’s legacy was never in question. Finally getting the chance to see him in 2012 performing All Live, was an experience that I never thought that I was going to get. He opened the show with Baby Step Back, before introducing himself to the audience and thanking everyone for coming. To be honest, I don’t think anyone could hear what he was saying, because we were all cheering so loud! He’s still a very talented guitarist, and seeing him play his older acoustic numbers was amazing. For the bigger numbers, his band were incredible and they all worked together flawlessly. Lightfoot’s voice, although showing age, was still great, and he committed to everything with absolute conviction.

Report as inappropriate

Canadian country musician Gordon Lightfoot has been credited as one of the artists who helped to define the folk/pop sound of the 1960s and 70s. It is perhaps due to this reputation that the musician continues to tour globally despite being over 75 now. Although Lightfoot has recorded with some of the most prolific artists in the industry including Elvis Presley, Barbra Streisand and Johnny Cash tonight's setlist is all about Gordon's personal discography and features no covers of his glittering list of collaborators.

The audience seems equally pleased by this choice as they enjoy hearing the folk tones of 'All The Lovely Ladies' and 'Waiting for You'. Although some of these songs are nearing their 50th birthday, they seem to have a timeless quality as they simply wash over the audience in their unassuming manner. The folk genre changes throughout the evening between a more rock sound which features far more instrumental work from Lightfoot and his band to the far more easy listening pop influenced work. Either way, the crowd are responsive and attentive when it comes to thunderous applause following the finale.

Great show. Started right on the button at 8pm. Gord's voice worried me on first song but seemed to gain strength depending on whether he had to sing in the upper range or not. At almost 80, his voice has thinned and gotten a little reedy. His guitar work was spot on. He played a greatly different set list than the last several times I've seen him which was great. He sounded really strong on Don Quixote, Early Morning Rain, Restless and others. As usual these days at Massey Hall there is someone in the audience who thinks we paid to hear them as they shouted out their love to Gord throughout the show while talking through his set and texting on their brightly lit cellphone. They have some personal need for attention or think somehow they are communing with the artist. Anyway...really annoying and nothing worse than a 60 year old groupie.

Gordon Lightfoot at the State Theater was a most excellent event. My brother and I were in the minority, being that the majority of the crowd was at least twenty years older than my father.

Gordon played almost all of the old songs that we love, but left us just shy of a complete set, foregoing "Cotton Jenny," for some of the older ones.

Even with the omission, we were left in awe that the original band, as we assumed it was, could still sound so clean and crisp after playing and singing for over forty years. Gordon sounded a little thin on some of the songs, but for recording and touring for all those years he could still belt out all the lyrics, even with a range reduced by age and stress.

Overall, a wonderful concert, and I'm looking forward to more tours by the bands and artists of the 60's and 70's.

Hmmm...I want badly to say so many good things about this show but...It's hard to. His voice is so gone as is memory as he was unable to remember words and lacked the ability to complete a sentence. Very hard to understand [Lightfoot] from the stage both in lyrics and spoken words. I can however say that this was a show that was on my bucket list. Oh...and no pics or videos to be taken at these shows :(

GORDON LIGHTFOOT; Wonderful concert at the Brown Theatre in Louisville, KY on March 14, 2016. It was my 11 year old granddaughter's first concert and we both had a wonderful time.

Lightfoot is a terrific writer, performer and entertainer. The band play together as if their hearts beat in sync.

We both loved it and hope to see him again.

Joanne Kelly; Stockbridge, Massachusetts

THIS WAS PROBABLY MY 18-20 TIME I VE SEEN GORDON. THE FIRST TIME WAS 1970, AT COLUMBIA, MO. I AM A BIT OF A FAN,

THIS SHOW WAS BITTERSWEET, AS I HAVE AGED I KNOW LIGHTFOOTS MUSIC MIRRORS MUCH OF MY LIFE.

VIETNAM, THE 70S, THE POLITICS OF AMMERICA, AND THE CONSTANCY OF THE USE OF MUSIC TO GROUND MY GENERATION TO OUR GROWTH AND CHANGES.

THANK GOODNESS I KNEW LIGHTFOOT

Excellent show, he played all of the favorites, as well as a couple songs I hadn't heard before. The atmosphere was Pleasant, weather perfect.

I'm so impressed that Gordon still has the ability to perform at his age, and he can still hit all of the notes. He hasn't lost anything over the years.

Highly recommended.

Huge waste of time and money. Voice completely gone. Is in danger of ruining his legacy if he continues. I know he is 77 years of age now, but why continue to fleece the public?

We left in the interval, as did several others. At least we got home an hour earlier than expected.

Gordon Lightfoot was amazing. Even though he was fighting a cold, he was a professional. He and his band are so talented. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the concert! Thank you for sharing great songs and memories. A true gentleman!

About Gordon Lightfoot

Gordon Lightfoot’s Final Album Will Be Released in July

By Charisma Madarang

Charisma Madarang

A live album by prolific Canadian singer-songwriter  Gordon Lightfoot , who died on May 1 at age 84, will be released July 14.

At Royal Albert Hall is being billed as his final album, and was recorded at Lightfoot’s seventh appearance at London’s treasured venue in 2016. The double album includes many of his biggest hits, including “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Early Morning Rain,” “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” and more. Songs that have never appeared on previous live records, including “Beautiful” and “Don Quixote” are also featured, with performances by Rick Haynes on bass, Barry Keane on drums, Mike Heffernan on keys, and Carter Lancaster on guitar.

Lightfoot’s new work is described as “an unembellished live mix of that nights’ performance, without edits, overdubs, remixing or re-sequencing. It captures every song performed in the order they were played, right down to the encore,” according to his label.

At Royal Albert Hall track list:

To honour his music and legacy, Massey Hall, in collaboration with the Lightfoot Estate, proudly announces Celebrating Gordon Lightfoot on Thursday, May 23, 2024, at Massey Hall. The evening, led by two extraordinary house bands, Blue Rodeo and the members of Gordon Lightfoot's longtime band, The Lightfoot Band (Rick Haynes, Barry Keane, Mike Heffernan and Carter Lancaster), will feature performances by Allison Russell , Aysanabee , Burton Cummings , Caroline Wiles & Bob Doidge , Meredith Moon , Sylvia Tyson , The Good Brothers , Tom Cochrane , William Prince with more to be announced.

This event will enable fans, family, and friends to recognize and pay tribute to the incredible music he gifted the world.
