Many of you said it was too hard to choose. Our results bear that out. Can't get much closer. I'm sure you'll agree that these two songs are definitely among our top choices for all time favourite Lightfoot song.
For Showdown #14, consider two songs in which the songwriter professes his love for a special someone. One is an older song, the other much more recent. Which song would you like Gord to sing to you when he visits your home with his 6 string? (in your dreams
):
Beautiful
or
I'll Prove My Love
I'm looking forward to your response.
