Glen Campbell influenced me as a singer, guitar-player. (I have owned an Ovation for 30 some years after all.)
Simon and Garfunkel with the harmonies and the thoughtful lyrics.
Diamond and Croce were there too, as were Harry Chapin with his story telling.
Gord sort of summed it all up for me.

You know, I'd have to throw in Donavan Leitch and Jane Olivor (the latter though after I'd discovered everyone's favorite Gord)...Mocededes, Charlene, Marilyn Macgregor (sp?), Beverly Bremers, and Maureen Mogovern on the fairer sex side.
As for Harry Chapin, a friend of mine said he saw Harry at the Victory Theatre in Dayton, Ohio and said it was an incredible show. He said Harry hung around after the show until he shook every hand in the audience. Now, how impressive was that of our late friend?

Hey Misty,I have an LP of Paul Rev. & Raiders greatest hits. Weird thing,it doesn';t include their first hit ("Like Long Hair") or their very last one ("Birds Of a Feather").
Donovan is totally cool too.
His "Barabajagal" LP is,sadly,one of my casualties!

Before Gordon, it had to be James Taylor,Simon & Garfunkel, and perhaps the Moody Blues.

Hmmm...main ones with so many side trips!
Chronologically:
1. Beatles
2. Buck Owens
3. Waylon Jennings
4. Neil Diamond
5. John Denver
6. Kris Kristofferson
7. Dylan
8. Gord in 1976
with side trips to james Taylor and Simon& Garfunkel. But also Smokey Robinson and many others. The Guess Who.
After Gord came Leo Kottke, Karla Bonoff, Rodney Crowell (and all the Texas storytellers).
Too many to count.

Elvis will always be my favourite! but Gord is second. Regarding Johnny Cash, can't wait to hear "If you could read my mind" on his new, posthumous cd.

Glen Campbell has been my favorite. Gord has been one of his favorites and he considers "The Last Time I Saw Her" as one of his personal favorite recordings, though I'm much more partial to his version of "If You Could Read My Mind". He also did a version of "Wherefore and Why", released as a single in '73. I would have loved for him to do a version of "Beautiful".

I have a few "favorites" but could never pick just one. Lightfoot is amongst John Denver, Louis Armstrong, Sting and others.

Simon and Garfunkel were my favorites all through the '60s. I was really kind of late in noticing Gord. Dad and Mom had a few of his UA records, and I remember listening to them, but it was really Gord's Gold that turned me on to his music. Then, after Wreck, I completely lost track of him. I figured he must have retired or something, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he was still going strong when I got my first PC and discovered Val's and Wayne's web sites.

I was really into John Lennon before Gord. I still love Lennon but he pales in comparison to Gord. Sorry John!
