Hi There: Burton Cummings does a pretty much dead-on Lightfoot imitation on one song from his live solo album from a couple of years back. And, of course, on The Guess Who's "Wheatfield Soul" album is the song "Lightfoot" which is a tribute to Gordon and his early group. Cummings is an animal in my opinion. I saw The Guess Who on their 2000 reunion tour (drove to Thunder Bay from Minnesota) and he projected to the back rows. I think his is one of the best rock voices ever--super buzzy. I saw Randy Bachman "unplugged" in Toronto a year or so ago. He was fine but did not have near the energy. I've seen Gordon three times since the Waiting For You tour. Good, solid shows and he seems to be having fun. That's all that should matter at this point! Eric O.
