Wreck of the Edmunds Fitzgerald, not only a History Lesson, but chokes you up. It’s a such a powerful song.
Gordon was one of Canada’s music icons, R.I.P.!
a must see to review
Gordon Lightfoot had one of the greatest voices of the singer/songwriter era. Just smooth.
Gordon Lightfoot was born in my hometown, Orillia, Ontario, Canada. He's one of Canada's treasures as a great Folk/Folk Rock singer/songwriter. He passed away last May 2023 at the age of 84. Our town has had recent celebrations of Gordon Lightfoot. You can find a cool statue of him sitting cross-legged with his guitar in a local park by the lake. Another bust-style statue sits downtown outside the Orillia Opera House. I grew up hearing his music on the radio and this song was one of my favourites.
Thanks for the info
What, he passed away!.. he was a canadian treasure of classic easy music, RIP legend.
As a Newfoundlander I understand and appreciate his style, intelligent lyrics that are so soulful and from the heart. Legend!
A great,great Canadian artist. A real treasure. The Wreck Of The Edmond Fitzgerald is must listen. A true story put to music.
GORD IS A GOD IN CANADA, R.I.P. MANY MANY SONGS.
He may be a "God" in parts of Canada, but I have never really liked him or understood the appeal. Same thoughts on Anne Murray to be honest. Luba, Trooper even are much more worthy of devotion.
Gordon Lightfoot | Sundown... What !!! You have never done his.... The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald ???? That one is an absolute must do. It is about a real tragedy on the great lakes. Maybe you just don't know that it is him. If you haven't done it yet I am sure someone will send it to you. I too love to hear these old songs. They really do take me back.
Gotta add If You Could Read My Mind
Great suggestion!
Wreck of the Edmund Fiztgerald
100%
Yes, true story of The Edmund Fitzgerald
Such a smooooth voice! We need more Gordon Lightfoot on the channel... If You Could Read My Mind, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
This was a big hit in the UK in 1974. He had a wonderful voice. Remember hearing him on Radio 1, but we never saw him in England. As a 14 year old, voice broken, I felt I could sing along to this song in perfect harmony, just like him (couldn't really) x
It's generally accepted it's about his girlfriend at the time, Cathy Evelyn Smith, who later became infamous for injecting John Belushi with the combination of drugs that killed him.
They both had incredible taste in women, and lifestyles, didn't they?
Lulu, I absolutely love this song, I even sing it at karaoke, one of my other favorites is, If You Could Read My Mind
Gordon Lightfoot is a Canadian icon. 🇨🇦
He just passed last year. His songs were recorded by a lot of different artists. Bob Dylan called him his favourite singer songwriter.
Other Songs

You can't go wrong with Gord RIP. Another great Canadian !!!!!
I thought to myself, there's no way Donna doesn't know this song, and I was correct!!!
My parents would play Gordon Lightfoot albums at their Family gatherings, so I grew up hearing his music. He was an iconic Canadian Artist, who sadly passed away last May.
Even though I didn't appreciate it at the time, I certainly do now... And just like Donna, it reminds me of those times, and *I Like It!!!*
You clearly had a dreadful childhood, lol, your parents were evil to inflict his music on you.
Gordon Lightfoot is a legend
I believe it made Donna happy! I grew up in the 70's my teen years. Loved it. Gordon was a part of it. 🎶
At any moment in the 1970’s if you scrolled through your radio, you’d find this song playing!
He was such a great songwriter...apart from the well-known classics like this one, three of my favorites are: "High and Dry" and "Seven Island suite" (from the same album as "Sundown"), and "I'm Not Sayin'/Ribbon of Darkness"
This is a lovely reaction, ladies. For a long time, I always thought Bob Dylan was the best folk artist I know of, but after listening to his songs and reading Dylan's comments, now I think that Gordon is the greatest folk artist and songwriter in not only Canada, but in North America. I never get tired of listening to “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”.
He wasn't even the best in Canada, Joni Mitchell was far better, although also not to my taste.
Great song! I was so sad to hear of Gordon Lightfoot's passing away recently. Loved his music. One of the best songwriters & storytellers. He was a Canadian legend. My husband & I saw him in concert once. Some of his hits were "If You Could Read My Mind", "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald", "Steel Rail Blues", "Ribbon Of Darkness", "Carefree Highway", "Rainy Day People", "Cotton Jenny", "Black Day In July", "Canadian Railroad Trilogy" etc.
One of the best in our Canadian music...🇨🇦🎤R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot🎤🇨🇦
A must listen is The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
If You Could Read My Mind is another great one and some call it his best work.
I love watching your reactions during this one! ha ha I was hoping you all would open hand sway side to side at your waists during the guitar solo, especially Kathy. ha ha :)
was the same in our neighborhood back in 74...when music was played it was played loud...people walking past doing a little jig on the way past . . . was great day
Gordon Lightfoot is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. If You could read my mind was one of his best. The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald is also a good one.
One of Gordon Lightfoot most iconic songs .The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald a ORE ship that sunk on Lake Superior in 75 during a November Storm 29 men went down with the ship 😣😣😣😣😣
I don't know very many of his songs but "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" is fantastic.
Haaaa!! I done knowed Donna heard this!! I was speckten such!!! Shhhiuuute! Great Reaction Ladies! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
got to see him at a small venue in WI...just fabulous ,,,,one of his not so famous songs is "COTTON JENNY"...great song
Some more Gordon Lightfoot songs you'll like is:If You Could Read My Mind, & Carefree Highway. One you may or may not want to listen to is The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald. It's about the sinking of the Fitzgerald in November 1975.
Succhhh a good reaction ladies! Donnas recognition of this was PRICELESS. Loved it. Thank ye lasses. Have a great day ☘️🇺🇲
Thank you! You too!
I knew Donna knew this song it's from her generation it makes me happy happy happy to see her happy too. And lulu your such a cutie singing too. Wintersun Alex in Texas ❄️♥️
Lulu I love your beautiful red 505
Hair
Great reaction, ladies! Gordon had an amazing voice and was a fantastic storyteller! My wife and I saw him live back in 2016. He was 77 years old and his voice sounded as strong as it had in the 1970s.
I was 4 in '74. I remember hearing this on the radio driving in the car with my mom and even at that young age, I knew I loved that song....(as did my great mom)❤
Love Donna reaction i know this song .Haven't heard it till now ......
Gordon Lightfoot also sang "The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald" ... (the shipwreck)
he sang the song The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald
Gordon Lightfoot song suggestions:
"Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald"
"If You Could Read My Mind"
"Early Morning Rain"
"Black Day In July"
"Ribbon Of Darkness"
"Don Quixote "
"The Watchman's Gone"
"Miguel"
"Ten Degrees And Getting Colder"
"I'm Not Supposed To Care"
...this is just a very short list of some of my favorite Lightfoot songs. His library of songs is a deep and wonderful rabbit hole to delve into...on a side note; I've been a Gordon Lightfoot fan since the early seventies but it was only in the past few years that I discovered we share the same birthday albeit he was 17 years older than me.
Hi 3 Gen. A few songs by Gordon Lightfoot that I like are "Alberta Bound (1988 version)", "Rainy Day People", "Old Dan's Records", and "Carefree Highway". 👋🏻🇨🇦
Everyone in Canada thinks Alberta Bound is about Alberta, but it is a song about easterners giving up hope on their economy and pogie and lowering themselves to head out to Alberta where the income is "easy." Not much love in this Alberta Born old dude for Gordon or, for that matter the other Gord... (Downie).
Gordon Lightfoot has an amazing voice, love all his songs! You might enjoy listening to "If You Could Read My Mind", "Carefree Highway", "Rainyday People" and the great "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". Great reaction ladies!
Thanks
"Daylight Katy", "Beautiful", "Early Morning Rain", "Summer Side Of Life", "Canadian Railroad Trilogy", "Did She Mention My Name"... Gord's catalogue is full of great songs. As a Canadian, when I listen to his music I tend to really feel my Canadian-ness (if that's a word; if not, it should be).
When I was in the Navy, my best mate and I bonded over our love for the same kind of music, especially this song, "....looking like a queen in a sailor's dream". If I had an ounce of musical talent, I would want to be like Gordon. Do a deep dive into his music, "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and this song is his trifecta of his greatest hits. BTW: All y'all looking great.
Don't forget his hit, *"The Canadian Railroad Trilogy".*
A lot of that great sound came from that Gibson (B-45-12) 12-string guitar he was playing. He used it often during his career.
I'm with Donna. Gordons music makes me happy 😊 Carefree Highway is another great by him. I promise it will also make you happy!
I recommend his song "The ballad of Yarmouth Castle", it's about a ship wreck off the coast of Florida, everyone reacts to The wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald, but they all miss this one, you can be the first to react to it. He's a great storyteller.
Lulu got pretty wide eyed there at the line about the "room where you do what you don't confess." LOL!
Yes she did. Lol
If You Could Read My Mind....Was a big hit of his...
I don't think Mr. Lightfoot ever wrote or performed a bad song. He was a troubadour of my era.
"Affair on 8th Avenue", "Beautiful", "Canadian Railroad Trilogy", "The Last Time I Saw Her" "Ode to Big Blue", "Old Dan's Records", "Heaven Help the Devil", "Shadows", 14 Karat Gold", "Your Love's Return (Song for Stephen Foster)", "Make Way For The Lady", "Spanish Moss", Bitter Green", Carefree Highway", "Minstrel of the Dawn", "All the Lovely Ladies", "Ode to Big Blue", "Christian Island (Georgian Bay)". "Dream Street Rose", "Endless Wire", "Ghosts of Cape Horn", If Children Had Wings", "I'm Not Supposed to Care", "Is There Anyone Home", "Looking at the Rain", "Now and Then", "A Passing Ship", "Race Among the Ruins", Rainy Day People", "Softly", "Song for a Winter's Night", "Stone Cold Sober", "Talking in Your Sleep", "Triangle", "Thank You for the Promises", "Summertime Dream", "She's Not the Same", " On the High Seas", "Now and Then", "Pussywillows, Cat-Tails", " If You Need Me"...
-These are just a few that come to mind.
Give these a listen, and I think you will see why I say that Gord is alone at the top.
There are singer-songwriters, and there is Gordon Lightfoot
As a Canadian i greq up listening to him, like everyone else said, you need to react to the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald, it's a true story..he is known as Canada's greatest songwriter
Anything by Lightfoot is good, if you want to hear some of his later music, I suggest "I Used to be a Country Singer" - it will show you where his music headed. Also, a favorite of mine [one of MANY favs with him] try out "Don Quixote". Another great one he wrote is "The Canadian Railroad Trilogy" which he wrote for Expo '67.
My favorite song of Gordon Lightfoot is "If You Could Read My Mind"! That was his big hit, I thought. Beautiful ballad, love the chord progression and the strings on it! Check it out! :)
Very good choice. In the 70's I loved this song.
The song is about Cathy Smith, Lightfoot's girlfriend at the time. She later moved to Los Angeles and was involved with the overdose death of comedian John Belushi.
CAREFREE HIGHWAY AND IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND WERE ABSOFREEKINGLUTLY AWESOME SONGS ALSO
Great song, great reaction... And this song makes me happy too!
👍
Supertramp The Logical Song good song for Lulu to hear too. It is just as relevant today as it was for our generation. Same with Sting's song Russians. Just as relevant for Lulu's generation as it was for ours.
MAMA ROCKIN ALREADY
Wreck of the Edmond Fitzgerald and if you could read my mind are both worth listening to !
Gordon Lightfoot suggestions, "In the early morning rain", "Did she mention my name" and "If you could read my mind". 👍👍
I'm kinda late, you did this reaction a couple of weeks ago but you are the first people in the US that I have seen a reaction to Gordon Lighfoot that knew who he was!!!! It made me happy to hear that !!!! He was absolutely beloved up here!! I see in the comments that lots of people have given you suggestions for other songs, so I don't need to add more. Somebody mentioned the connection with Kathy Smith/John Belushi. Most of his songs had some connection to his personal life, not always apparent if you don't know about him personally. One that didn't really is The Canadian Railroad Trilogy. That he was asked by the government to write about Canada for our 100th birthday celebrations and it's musical genius. 👍👍👍Three big thumbs up for you all from the Great White North!!
Thank you so much.
Gordon is such a great artist! I was born 1970, love your reaction ladies. Love and prayers to you and your family, and those in the channel!
This may have already been mentioned, but Professor Of Rock did a video on this song a while back on his RUclips channel. The story behind the song is very interesting. Gordon and his lady friend at the time were staying in a cabin for him to concentrate on song-writing. The lady was bored and insisted on going out on the town. Gordon started imagining her cheating with some guy she met that he dubbed "Sundown". The interesting thing is that the lady friend was the same woman who several years later gave John Belushi a fatal cocktail of drugs and went to prison.
He was excellent in concert.
wow, you gals are picking great songs to react to, almost all my faves, keep it up, in chatting about the songs and the singers love!
Thank you so much 😁
If you like the uptempo Gordon Lightfoot, check out also "Old Dan's Records", "Cold on the Shoulder", "Bend in the Water" as they all have that country sound you seem to like also.
When you ladies said that you didn't know who Gordon Lightfoot was , I was like here we go again . I gave Donna three beats and Kathy three words into the song before it dawned on you . I was right .
He is a great story teller. His voice is unique and stands out. Great musician
Your reactions are as refreshing as your honesty. You all obviously like music and are able to appreciate artists and genres that you are not familiar with. You can fill a Dixie Cup with my knowledge of country music and have plenty of room to spare. That doesn't mean anything except it's not my bag. Keep up the great work ladies.
Thanks
The guitar player on Gordon's left is my cousin's cousin Terry Clements.
Cool
great song.. epic story teller
Moonwoman nailed it ... :)
must listen to Wreck Of Edmund Fitzgerald from him
next reaction should be the wreck of the fitzgerald from gordon it's a real tragic song !
Please listen to Care free Highway and Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald
I absolutely Loved Kathy's reaction ! 😂 I've been a fan of his forever ! Hope you do more of him.
RIP Gordon. He was one of the best folk balladeers out there. His live at the Royal Albert Hall is awesome. Later y'all
I swear you guys should start your own reality show you can even call it The adventures of Honey Lulu
Lol
He was a mentor to dylan later in life🎉
For a Canadian history lesson try Canadian Railroad Trilogy. For an American history lesson try Black Day in July.
Ladies, I like the new background and I'm glad your back! Ya'll probably know his song "Wreck of the Emond Fitzgerald" Another banger! Good reaction ladies! BABOOM!!
Donna it makes me happy to see you happy 9:51
Thanks
Always good to get a hair and britches review!
👍
Didn't y'all react to The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald ? If you did, you've heard of Gordon. (RIP Gordon)
No, we have not reacted to that song.
The woman in question Catherine Evelyn Smith is worth reading about.
He found out the hard way the woman was a user and player.
Gordon wrote this song about his girlfriend, he worried about her sitting in bars with the possibility of her stepping out on him while he was writing songs 😉💯
Sundown is the nickname of a beloved Canadian singer songwriter.
That’s always fun😂😂😂,😊👍👏👏👏✌️🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it
Carefree highway should be the next song
Quite the adult subject matter for the lil' one.
You 3 are awesome like you very much
Thank you so much 😀
This is a studio dubbed version. It's not the live vocals.
Good Stuff !!
Hey Kathy listen to don't close your eyes by Keith Whitley you will love it
Try his great song Rainy Day People!!😊
I think he was writing this song about a particular girl that later on was convicted overdosing John beluchi
Donna, I wonder if you liked it? 😁
Lol
What's that song that Lulu Lightfoot was singing?
Hey can you tell me what that song makes you feel? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
The woman he sings about in the satin dress in the "room where you do what you don't confess" is the same woman who injected the drugs that killed John Belushi, in another "room where you do what you don't confess." Just to add some cultural and character background. Never liked this particular "Canadian Icon."
,
try doing "Carefree Highway"......
