For me there was no other than Glen Campbell, Galveston. :cool: The first LP I bought was 'Wichita Lineman': by Glen Campbell. I would watch The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour, every week. His guitar picking was out of this world. :eek: Until I heard one day on radio, around 1969, "Black Day In July", By some singer that really struck a connection with me. I had to find out who this amazing singer, with such a different style of music was. :rolleyes: I was about 13 years of age then. Bought the LP, 'Did She Mention My Name', to get this great song, Black Day In July, which of course was on it. And I have never turned back since. Every year album after album, couldn't wait for the next one to come out. So if it wasn't for GL, I would probably own every Glen Campbell recording that he ever made. But since 1969 it's all been, Gordy Lightfoot... :) :D

I think sometime,long ago this might have been a topic but,no matter.

Before Gordon,my favorite male singer was (as most here know)Neil Diamond. I thought Neil was one of the best singer/songwrites around and then in the mid-80's he went kinda "Vegas".

I saw him "live in April of 1989 but a year or two later,I finally outgrew him. Still like his music but I don't do the "fan" thing anymore.

Along with him,I liked a lot of acts. The Bee Gees,Donna Summer,Men At Work (top fav. for 3 years)/Wham!(4 years)/Bryan Adams '83 to '87 mainly/Cyndi Lauper was cool in my opinion also and of course U2,whom i saw in concert in Dec. of '87 when they filmed part of "Rattle & Hum" at Sun Devil Stadium.

Hey! :eek: That means,I'm in a movie! :D Well...in the audience anyhow! :rolleyes:

As said elsewhere,I've liked several artists but never one that really "spoke" to me with their words,as well as their music,until Gordon Lightfoot. ;)

Sorry, :( if this posts was here before I was. I thought it would be interesting? New Corfidians such as myself might want to give their story? :rolleyes: :)

Well, it's not a person, but, a tie between groups -- Herman's Hermits and The Beatles.

it was POCO and I still love their first 8 or 9 albums... and Tim now plays with The Eagles...

Bill :)

Hey Bill,

Count me in as another Poconut!

As for the thread itself, Gord was my first. Now that's not straying too far from home, now is it?

James Taylor - old stuff - Sweet Babie James Album, Fire and Rain, One Man Dog. I then heard my first GL album in '72 at 14 years old. I then mowed lawns furiously all over the neighborhood to buy every one I could get, and picked tomatoes in a hot house after school and weekends to earn more ... Gord gold :)

Was and still am a big fan of Cat Stevens and Harry Chapin.

Nothing odd about that at all. He was my favorite too.

We must be kindred spirits Jessi-Joe. My all time favorite piece of folk/CW music is his rendition of "Gentle On My Mind". I became aware of songwriters by reading the credits on the back of the LP.

Yep, I just proved this that is a topic.

Rminder, I take it your reffering to Glen Camp bell?

Scott Mac, there is nothing odd about Johnny Cash. I still am a big fan of Johnny Cash. He was great, won't see a talent like him ,maybe ever again. Legend, his own style, knew what he stood for. THE MAN IN BLACK! I really do miss him a lot. Saw him in concert in Kitchener Ontario, Canada. Marty Stuart then just a kid of maybe 18 years of age was his lead guitarist. Boy could he pick it, even then... JJ

Mac Davis???

Wes

Char, beleive it or not, when I was young I was a dead ringer for Mac Davis... I even sighned an autograph once.... A girl actually thought I was Davis.... Nice memories...

Wes

OK then eh ? And since you used our secret (lol) word I know you're legit ! Good to know I'm not alone on this one, LOL.

Bill :)

From the couple of pics I've seen of Wes I can see how it could happen!

Glen Campbell influenced me as a singer, guitar-player. (I have owned an Ovation for 30 some years after all.)

Simon and Garfunkel with the harmonies and the thoughtful lyrics.

Diamond and Croce were there too, as were Harry Chapin with his story telling.

Gord sort of summed it all up for me.

You know, I'd have to throw in Donavan Leitch and Jane Olivor (the latter though after I'd discovered everyone's favorite Gord)...Mocededes, Charlene, Marilyn Macgregor (sp?), Beverly Bremers, and Maureen Mogovern on the fairer sex side.

As for Harry Chapin, a friend of mine said he saw Harry at the Victory Theatre in Dayton, Ohio and said it was an incredible show. He said Harry hung around after the show until he shook every hand in the audience. Now, how impressive was that of our late friend?

Hey Misty,I have an LP of Paul Rev. & Raiders greatest hits. :) Weird thing,it doesn';t include their first hit ("Like Long Hair") or their very last one ("Birds Of a Feather").

Donovan is totally cool too.
His "Barabajagal" LP is,sadly,one of my casualties! :(

Before Gordon, it had to be James Taylor,Simon & Garfunkel, and perhaps the Moody Blues.
