I’ve loved his music for 35 odd years. (Good grief! That is frightening.)
Anyway, years ago, I was doing my homework on the sitting- room floor and watching Top Of The Pops (a British chart show). IYCRMM came on – I looked up and there was GL, singing. Well, physics came a poor second. (and, no, John, I didn’t swoon!) I can remember it like it was yesterday.
MidnightMisty, who used to post here (where is she, now?) said she told GL, when she met him, that most people who loved his music could remember the first time they heard him sing – He was amazed. (I’m afraid I can’t find the thread.) It’s true – he was a revelation! You have obviously discovered this yourself.
Yeah!! He’s still the sexiest man out there.
As for SilverHeels! Well, Bru, when we meet up at Gatwick – just be careful you don’t get locked in the loos!

Yes, I too distinctly remember the first time I heard Gordon sing. I was listening to the FM radio in my parents' home (I was 17 yr. old) and I heard a wonderful ballad. But the radio host didn't come on at the finish of the song to say what or who. Instead probably a half dozen more songs were played (and there had been several--I didn't know how many-- before the song in question. So when the radio host finally started to rattle off the song titles and artists, I had to write ALL of them down and then count back to the one I was impressed with. And that song was "Don Quixote" by Gordon Lightfoot. It wasn't until a year later that I just happened to see the "Don Quiotte" album and bought it. And THEN it was almost another year after that before I was able to buy a record player so I could listen to that song again (strangely, I never heard it on the radio again since that one time.) Now, as for Mr. Lightfoot's looks--beautiful. I've drawn and painted him many times over the years. He is, quite simply, a very beautiful man.
