RIP G. Lightfoot, love many of his songs.

Tim Bachman of Bachman Turner Overdrive kicked the bucket too.

One of the greatest folk rock singer/songwriters. RIP Mr. Lightfoot

Roll on down the highway Mr. Bachman and RIP

BTO was a favorite of mine in the early to mid 70s.

Same here... Read a story on Tim a while ago... and who woulda thought that he never was a partier (Ted Nugent as well)

Sad time for the entertainment world. For sure they will be greatly missed.

That Edmund Fitzgerald song takes on a whole other meaning for us here on Lake Erie.

As a Minnesota native who has vacationed many times on the shores of Lake Superior it hits home. “Sundown” is fun to listen to

Way before my time and I looked it up before but the "Cleveland" reference... No joke, I would say 50% homes here have EF painting or print hanging. LOL

I've loved Gord since the early 70's. He was a Canadian treasure. R.I.P. Minstrel.

I have no memory, went down when I was about 2. Funny thing, “Cleveland” was artistic license, the Fitz was actually heading for Detroit. I guess he couldn’t figure out a way to make it fit the rythym. Cool about the paintings

Another sad loss.
Listened to a lot of BTO also.
It is a bummer losing the genre that we grew up with, that is when there was quality music IMO.
RIP artists . . .

Not really into BTO or Gordon but man had a SERIOUS Guess Who phase. Even more so with Rush. Little Rush trivia: Cleveland DJ is responsible for discovering them and giving them their first radio exposure. I am still not over Neil Peart. https://www.cleveland.com/popmusic/2011/04/after_donna_halper_gave_workin.html
