Saol

Rugadh Lightfoot i 1938 in Orillia, Ontario ^[2] do Gordon Lightfoot, Sr., a bhainistigh gnólacht glantacháin thirim áitiúil, agus Jessie Vick Trill Lightfoot. Thosaigh sé mar cheoltóir Toronto.

Sa bhliain 1963, thaistil Lightfoot san Eoraip agus sa Ríocht Aontaithe, agus ar feadh bliana bhí sé ina óstach ar Country and Western Show ar BBC TV, ag filleadh ar ais go Ceanada sa bhliain 1964.

Amhráin Lightfoot, lena n-áirítear "For Lovin 'Me", " Early Morning Rain ", "Black Day in July" faoi chíréib Detroit 1967, thug sé aitheantas leathan dó sna 1960idí. Thosaigh rath cairt ina Cheanada dúchais lena thaifeadtaí féin i 1962 nuair a bhuail Uimh. 3 "(Remember Me) I'm the One", agus ansin tugadh aitheantas agus cairt thar lear sna 1970idí. Chuir sé barr na cairte US Hot 100 nó AC leis na hits " If You Could Read My Mind " (1970), " Sundown " (1974); " Carefree Highway " (1974), " Rainy Day People " (1975), agus " The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald " (1976).

I measc na gceoltóirí suntasacha eile a rinne clúdach ar a chuid amhrán tá The Irish Rovers, Eric Clapton agus Elvis Presley.^[3]

I 2017, sheinn Lightfoot ag Breithlá Ceanada 150 bliain. Luaigh an Príomh-Aire Justin Trudeau gur imir an tUasal Lightfoot an chéim chéanna díreach 50 bliain roimhe sin, le linn 100 bliain breithe Cheanada.

Fuair sé bás ar 1 Bealtaine 2023.
