Gordon Lightfoot Forums - View Single Post - A "later" song with Gord's "earlier" voice?

To me, Gord's singing voice became "older" between the "East Of Midnight" album (1986) and his next album "Waiting For You" (1993). Which "later" song would you like to hear with his "earlier", rich, deep, strong voice? (Not necessarily to replace the album original, but just to compare how it may have sounded if Gord had recorded it when he was younger.)

I would vote for "End Of All Time", which is ironic, seeing as it's a song that was naturally MEANT to be written and sung by someone in their later years. The album original would be a good choice to be played at a funeral. (So would "Carefree Highway".)
