One of my favourites. If not my Favourite male singer/songwriter.
His Lyrics were superb.
''Too late for prayin'' and ''The circle is small'' are just masterclasses.
RIP
Gordon.
 
Superb. I was the only one in class aged 11 that appreciated 'if you could read my mind'. Poems set to music.
 
Have to contribute here as GL was a Canadian institution .
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is the singular most brilliant of storytelling written . My opinion anyway .
A haunting ,resonating piece of musical genius .

Very sad to read of this
 
Really talented artist who in my opinion never got the commercial success he deserved. RIP.
