Hi Aime!

You know,I'd imagine before any Gordon sites came up,only fans that attended concerts and maybe close friends & family that shared the same intrest talked about him.

Other than that,the only place I heard Gordon talked about were oldies & light rock stations. Oldies,just playing 4 out of 6 of his "hits" and "light" stations playing 5 out of 6 + "Beautiful",which didn't make the top 40.

I don't think it would be possible for anyone on here to have talked before 1999 though. I think it's also safe to say without internet knowledge,"Harmony" would have sold even less than it did.

"Waiting For You" and "Painter" could have both benefited from us "Lightheads" spreading the word!

Been me,and good question Aime_41!
