Wow, I just read that Gordon Lightfoot is Canadian. I did not know that.

He's a legend up here. No doubt about that.

Everyone who lives around the Great Lakes, including me, knows that song. It was so cold last winter that even Lake Superior froze over!!!

How popular is he? Is his music surviving through all the rap and pop etc.?

He's very popular with the older crowd, but most kids don't have a clue who he is.

My mother had Gord's Gold on vinyl so that's how I got introduced to him.

So, in Canada, it's Bieber and Lighfoot? One or the other.

What do you mean?

There are to main performers. Justin Bieber ( I heard about him at school and have no idea who he is ) and Gordon Lighfoot. One or the other, rock for the older crowd and pop for the newbies of the world.

His voice has really changed from when he was younger. Almost whiny at times.
