FROM THE ARCHIVES: When Gordon Lightfoot sang to the Sault
FROM THE ARCHIVES: Legendary folk singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot died yesterday at the age of 84. This article was originally published by SooToday after Lightfoot performed at the then-Essar Centre in December 2011.
And it didn't matter that his appearance would suggest that he's aged 10 years since he last performed in the Sault just two years ago. SooToday suspects that Lightfoot could have done nothing but recited a grocery list, and his fans would still be in awe.Thankfully he didn't, opting to select a number of familiar tunes, including If You Could Read My Mind, Carefree Highway, Alberta Bound, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, 14 Karat Gold, Baby Step Back, A Painter Passing Through, Don Quixote, Rainy Day People, and SooToday's favourite, Sundown.
