He was 84 and performing almost to the end. Mr Lightfoot had a long and productive career and was among the most gracious of performers. He'll be missed.
I got into folk about 1970. Gordon has been well listened to over the past 50 years, one of my top 3 favorite folk singers. I have almost all his collection and stayed up till 1 AM last night listening to him again. So much great stuff. Will be sadly missed, but I'll never stop listening.
