Has Gord ever won a Grammy????
According to Wayne Francis' site, he's been nominated for four of them, but never won. This is (shamelessly) taken from Wayne's site:
1968
BEST FOLK PERFORMANCE
Judy Collins - Both Sides Now; Bob Dylan - John Wesley Harding; Incredible String Band - The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter; Irish Rovers - The Unicorn; GORDON LIGHTFOOT - DID SHE MENTION MY NAME; Peter, Paul and Mary - Late Again
1971
BEST POP PERFORMANCE MALE
James Taylor - You've Got A Friend; Perry Como - It's Impossible; Neil Diamond - I Am...I Said; GORDON LIGHTFOOT - IF YOU COULD READ MY MIND; Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine
Lightfoot was asked to perform his song at this award show, but when he was told he had to sing a condensed two and a half minute version, he declined. Good man, Gord!
1977
BEST POP VOCAL PERFORMANCE MALE
Stevie Wonder - Songs In The Key Of Life; George Benson - This Masquerade; GORDON LIGHTFOOT - THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD; Lou Rawls - You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine; Boz Scaggs - Silk Degrees
SONG OF THE YEAR (Songwriter's Award)
I Write The Songs - Bruce Johnston; Afternoon Delight - Bill Danoff; Breaking Up Is Hard To Do - Neil Sedaka, Howard Greenfield; This Masquerade - Leon Russell; THE WRECK OF THE EDMUND FITZGERALD - GORDON LIGHTFOOT
