Hi Yall
There is common factors between Gordon and the Bee Gees. They both were at their peak in the early 70s. Both have unique vocal and strings oriented music. Both came from new lands, Canada and Australia.
Listen to the Bee Gees early tunes and you will enjoy their unique vocal and accoustical guitar style. The BGs played one of a kind meaningfull melody.
In 1970 Gordon issued the "summer side of life" album, which in my opinion is uniquely Gordon Lightfoot. Thereafter, he issued many other collections which emphasized his unique vocals and strings. At about the same time the BGs produced beautiful tunes that combined their unique vocals and accoustical guitars.
Although I can be judged biased toward Gordon because, since I was a teenager, I invested more in his collections, I shall confess that the BGs, in my opinion, deserve recognition for their musical contributions and their contribution to the advancement of meaningfull musical style and taste. I am sure Maurice contributed to the BGs accomplishments. God bless Maurice.
