The definitive biography of Canada's most beloved singer-songwriter, a legendary musician who helped define the folk-pop era.


From the tender ballad of "Beautiful" to the historical lament of "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" to the plaintive political plea of "Black Day in July," Gordon Lightfoot's songs have inspired and enchanted fans for more than fifty years. Beloved by a devoted Canadian audience, Lightfoot's work has been performed and admired by musicians from around the world, including Joni Mitchell, Nico, Ronnie Hawkins, and Robbie Robertson. Nobel Prize-winner Bob Dylan once listed "Sundown" and "If You Could Read My Mind" among his favourite Lightfoot songs, before adding, "I can't think of any I don't like." In addition to winning nearly every Canadian music award, in 2012, Lightfoot was inducted into the American Songwriters Hall of Fame alongside such luminaries as Leonard Cohen, Kris Kristoffersen, and Dylan; it honoured Lightfoot as a singer who helped "define the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and '70s."
Biographer Nick Jennings has had unprecedented access to the notoriously reticent musician. He chronicles Lightfoot's early efforts--his school principal recorded a disc of "Gordie" singing at age 9--to his beginnings as a songwriter to his heyday in concert halls around the globe. Possessed of a strong work ethic and a perfectionist bent, Lightfoot brought discipline to his craft and performances. But he partied just as hard in that rock 'n' roll era, and alcoholism began to take its toll. Lightfoot toured relentlessly and his personal life suffered as marriages and relationships unravelled. At 63, he suffered an aortic aneurysm that nearly killed him and kept him in a coma for six weeks. But his amazing stamina helped him survive and miraculously saw him on stage once again, resuming his touring and yearly sold-out show at Massey Hall.
Jennings paints an unforgettable portrait of an artist in the making, set against the turbulent era of sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll. Voices from the music industry mix with loyal fans to illustrate how the boy from small-town Ontario became the legendary bard of Canada. Stuffed with anecdotes and the singer's own reminisences, Lightfoot is an exhilarating read.

Great Value For The Money
Color: White
I needed something to present my daughter's upcoming 18th birthday gift in. It's a charm bracelet and a bunch of individual meaningful charms. None of them come in gift boxes, and I want something to present them all together in. Failing to find a gift box to fit the bill, I thought that this cute jewelry box would be a nice alternative. I am pleasantly surprised at what I received for the price. I expected a flimsy cardboard-ish box, and this is not that. It's not heirloom quality, but it is a nice sturdy box, well put together, and the interior tray and dividers are thick. Interior fabric is nicely soft and velvety. The box is larger than I expected, it will hold a good amount of jewelry, and it's pretty and of much better quality than I anticipated. Will certainly make a very nice presentation for my daughter's gift, and she'll be able to use it for many years, I'm sure.
