Not to belabour a point here gang:
But Gord was inducted into the CANADIAN songwriters hall of fame in 2003.
Heres the link if you want to check it out

On the opening page,choose English(unless you can read/speak French).At the top of the next page,toward the lefthand side,click on 'inductees'.Click on the year 2003.On the next page it will read:Modern era anglophone 1956 to 25 years prior to present;francophone 1961 to 25 prior to present.
Scroll down to the third one.You will see Gordon Lightfoot.Directly under that you will see If You
Could Read My Mind.
So if I'm interpreting all this right:the song If You could Read My Mind was inducted into the Song-
writers Hall of Fame in 1969.Gordon Lightfoot himself was inducted into the canadian song writers Hall of Fame in 2003.
As far as I can figure out,he is NOT in the American Songwriters Hall of Fame.
