[Nightingale]

Well, I am still thinking about this.
It's hard because I can't really think of another artist quite like Gordon Lightfoot.

Sure, there is a similarity in style to Dylan, Croce, James Taylor but the fact is, all of those artists have somewhat limited appeal or are in a specific category of music.
( Willie Nelson=country)

To me, Gordon has such a broad fan base that there really isn't an artist that can compare in that way to him.
Maybe....Elvis?
Just for the fact that he is such a legend and so many people did, and still do, love him.

Johnny Cash, even though he was primarily a country singer, he did have a very huge fan base of all ages and tastes.

I love Dylan's music but not his voice and I know a lot of people feel that way.
Gordon's voice, on the other hand, is beautiful with every song he sings...perfect.

Okay, still thinking....
