Curiously, Lightfoot was unaffected by Beatlemania or the Merseybeat wave of pop music sweeping Britain at the time. But his five-month stint in the U.K. did get his creative juices flowing. He returned armed with 30 new songs, a prodigious output for someone who had previously written only a handful, including the promising "Remember Me (I'm The One." "
which clearly indicates that Remember Me was one of the 30 new songs he wrote in London in 1963 that he then brought back to Canada yet
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Lightfoot
says
"(Remember Me) I'm the One" reached No. 3 on CHUM radio in Toronto in July 1962" which was many months BEFORE spring 1963 plus 5 months by my reckoning or maybe I am missing something here???
