Funny when you revive an old thread like this which I never seen before. It is very interesting. For several years, in the beginning of Gords career around his 2nd album, I had thought he was a Canadian Indian, due mainly to the Lightfoot name which I just figured was of Indian origin. Years later I think I read he was of Scottish ancestory, like Elvis, so I figured the best singers must come from Scotland. Now I find out he is English. Gez... 45 years of being wrong, and now a ruined dream. Both, have always been my favorites anyway.
