I never had a "favorite" singer/band, until now. There never was anything rising to the top, until now. Sure, I heard Gordon Lightfoot songs on the radio and I liked them. It was just this past winter, while I searched Amazon, a friend suggested I check out GL. I became interested and shortly after, I purchased the United Artist release at the local music shop because it was so darn cheap. As I listened to it on the way home, I began to get excited. Each and every song was truly a quality song. (no duds!) That started me off on a run of purchases of every original album GL put out. I play a CD almost every day. Gordon Lightfoot is my first favorite, and may he be my only. Amen.
