Gordon Meredith Lightfoot Jr. (November 17, 1938) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist who achieved international fame in folk, folk rock, and country music throughout the 1960s and 1970s. He demonstrated his musical talent during his childhood. In 1965, he kicked off his impressive career with a record deal from United Artists (UA). Lightfoot released a significant amount of material in his work. Sunday Concert, Gordon Lightfoot's last album with Universal Audio (UA), was memorably recorded live at Massey Hall in Toronto - the same place he made his maiden public performance as a young 13-year-old. He's credited with developing the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and 1970s. He is recognized worldwide as a folk-rock legend for his songs about trains, shipwrecks, rivers, highways, and lovers. According to Nicholas Jennings who is Lightfoot's biographer, "his name is synonymous with timeless songs about trains and shipwrecks, rivers and highways, lovers and loneliness. He is unquestionably Canada's greatest songwriter."
Lightfoot's songs are frequently played on the radio and have been covered by some of the world's most popular artists, including Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia, Judy Collins, Johnny Cash, Barbra Streisand, Neil Young, and Eric Clapton. His 1966 hit "Early Morning Rain" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2012. Lightfoot has been awarded five Juno Awards, Canada's highest music honor, and he is a member of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2004, he was inducted into the United States Songwriters Hall of Fame. In May 2006, he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada, one of the country's highest civilian honors.
