RIP. Underrated in my opinion. Sundown was an absolute classic song.

Loved some Gordon Lightfoot ... so did Jimmy Buffet ...
“I’ve always been trying to write songs like Lightfoot. A song of mine like ‘Come Monday’ is a direct result of me trying to write a Gordon Lightfoot song.”
— Jimmy Buffett

Blacklist and "Sundown". Music starts at 2:30. It was like it was written for this scene.

I hate these hall of famers dying off. Such a loss and makes me feel old.
RIP Gordon Lightfoot...

He wrote some songs that were so real, he couldn't even

stand to sing them in his later years. I read where he did not like singing (That's What You Get) For Loving Me, along those lines. Like some others already mentioned, I would have to pick Carefree Highway as my favorite Lightfoot song, with Sundown a close second. The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is TOO much of a biographical downer.
