Wonderful early recording. I'll say, I've not been as saddened by the passing of any other singer or actor or known person as I have been of Gordon's. May he rest well and at ease for his life well spent, his music entrenched into our hearts and minds and souls ♥

I agree totally. I am saddened too of his passing. I considered him in his music as peaceful and inspiring. I will miss him.

It's a shame the video footage is missing

I can't thank you enough for posting this. For a number of years I had been hoping to hear it again. I was a senior in HS in Ohio in 1965 when I turned on the TV and caught the middle of this performance of Early Morning Rain. I just learning how to play guitar and was blown away. I immediately decided I had to buy a 12 string guitar. Over the next few years I paid my way through college playing folk music. I still play this song and so glad I could hear this broadcast again

A Canadian icon, that also became part of us, that are not Canadians. A very special, Gift. ✨🕊✨

Gordon sings Bob ... damn .... love the horns

In the early morning rain... one of my favourites sung by my favourite Canadian!

Of great historical interest. Lightfoot actually recorded JLTTB a couple of weeks before Dylan did, but Bob's version got released sooner. It was a GL single, but not released on an album for another 30 years. Lightfoot's first gigantic media exposure.

Great sound. Thank you

Wow,Gordon sings Dylan.Can’t believe it’s 65.His first album was 67 I think.

He had already recorded his first album at this time, but Albert Grossman was still shopping it to the record labels.

RIP Gordon

Love that blues rhythm in the singing.

This is a new one for me after being a huge fan for so long great version of that Dylan tune

1938-2023 4:06 Early Morning Rain.

At a time when the country was enamored with the Beatles, it’s no wonder GL didn’t make a bigger splash.

Lightfoot puts out his 21st Album next week and begins his 53rd year of touring? When does the Beatles put out their next album or perform next?

Ich war 1965 in Toronto , sogar in Orillia, ich hätte ihn gerne persönlich kennengelernt.

LOVE GORDYS VOCALS..MANY GREAT SONGS

I just tried to sit through a guy named Jack Jones singing If You Could Read My Mind on the Ed Sullivan Show. It was so syrupy and sweet that I couldn’t make it halfway through it. Gordon has a special voice and his songs are not conducive to sweetening up. I do like Peter, Paul and Mary’s version of Early Morning Rain. They were very special, too.

Interesting to hear how his vocal style evolved. Much more country balladeer at this point. Even the renunciation of "plane" and train". Still has a good bit of vibrato at spots. Less of his deeper-sounding delivery and more nasal. Fascinating to me.

Thank you for posting! ♥️

So Gordon, who like Dylan, was managed by Albert Grossman, performs a Dylan song.

Good version of EMR - I find the album version a bit heavy-handed although this is still my favourite song of all time.

I need the video footage okay?

Gordon Lightfoot wrote In the Early Morning Rain, and Peter, Paul, and Mary made it a hit, but Gord’s version is much better.

Sounds quite dated unfortunately .... love Dylan love lightfoot...but this particular performance of just like Tom thumbs blues nah....early morning rain was alot better

Yeah, surprising that he would do a Dylan song (especially with those God awful background vocals and horn section that was pre-recorded) on what was probably his first national show and being such a great writer on his own. Glad he did Early Morning Rain too.

It IS dated. That's the point. This is a performance rescued from 1965 for an audience today, not to compare it with other times but to listen to it within the context of THAT moment.
