Legendary singer songwriter Gordon Lightfoot has died at age 84.

Gordon Lightfoot was 84 years old. Gordon had his first Canadian hit ‘Remember Me) I’m The One’ in 1965 but it was 1970’s ‘If You Could Read My Mind’ where he found international fame. The song reached no 1 in Canada, no 5 in the USA and no 27 in Australia.

In 1974, ‘Sundown’ was also a massive hit for Lightfoot worldwide reaching no 1 in the USA and Canada and no 4 in Australia.
