It's hard to tell how tall people are on stage, cause your looking up at them...I'd guess he's in the 5' 10" range...Terry seems alot taller...anybody really know?

Gord is about 5'9 and Terry is 6' something. When I met Gord I was flabbergasted he was a short little fellow http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I would say 5' 10", although
in my mind he must be 10' tall.

I was lucky enough to meet and talk to Gordon a year ago. I was so surprised to see how short he is, which, for the record, doesn't make me love him any less! I'm 5'4" and had flat shoes on and I was looking straight at those eyes!

I'm 6'0" and Lightfoot is not...unless someone's stretched him on a rack since I met him last autumn.

I don't care if he'd be the size of a junebug. I'd put him in a little box and keep 'em forever!

Isnt it interesting how us women think he
is 6ft tall?!? I used to swear he was 6ft
then I met him again after 20 years last
May and I was stunned at how had he shrunk in
height. He is probably 5'9" but to me he
will always be 6ft.

To me he's at LEAST 6 feet; he's probably tall enough to play in the NBA.
[but to me he
will always be 6ft. [/B][/QUOTE]

I met (and kissed -- yes, on the lips -- Wow!! -- a long one, too!!) him in Saratoga, NY in the mid to late 70s, and Gordon seemed to be 6'. As we hugged, I believe my chin was a bit above his breast level, and I'm 5'4". He was wearing the rust colored leather jacket he was photographed in for the *Endless Wire* album. My friend took a photo of his face from the side as he was getting into a car. I have to find that photo.
Somewhat more recently, I was within 2 feet of him in '90 or '91, and he looked quite a bit shorter; how much shorter, I cannot say. He was also so much thinner. I remember thinking how small his butt (Pardon me. I had to check it out. To me, the man has always been an Adonis.) and legs appeared. Anyway, the man will always be bigger than life to me. To date, he's "As Fine As Fine Can Be." I love Gord. I'm going to try to join the Friday chat if I can. Here goes.

I'll be danged. I was about to post a topic about this myself, but went browsing through older topics, and saw this one. I always thought that Gord was taller than me, but he's pratically a midget (just kidding). I'd imagined he was about 6 feet tall back in the days, but he looks a little shorter now that he's gotten older. But it's not a matter of how tall he is, it's a matter of how good his music is. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

Probably in his younger years he was near 6 foot tall. I've met him twice and he's no longer 6 feet tall! He's probably around 5'9". Hell, to me he was tall but so is most everyone. I'm pushin 5'6" and shrinking. My Dad used to be my height and now I can peer down on his bald little head, so....

I'm a lawyer. This is why "eyewitness" reports are not all that useful: Gordon Lightfoot is between 5'4" and 6'!

I,m not sure how tall he is, but if you printed his lyrics in a line, he would be about a mile long!!! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I talked to Gord a few years ago and he was about 4 inches shorter than me. Im almost 6-2.
Those that say he is 6 feet might be refering to his younger years. We all get shorter by as much 3 1/4 inches during our life. so maybe he was 6 ft in the late 60's
