I watch the national news with Lester Holt every night and they made no mention of Gordon Lightfoot's death. I was very disappointed. But Tina Turner got a 6 minute tribute on that same news network when she died. I sincerely hope that every anniversary of the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald, on November 10th, that the church rings the bell 30 times from this year forward in honor of his fantastic song honoring the crew of the mighty Fitz.

RIP Gordon! My father despite all his faults, taught me a lot about our beloved Michigan, our heritage, music, and history. I remember on one of our camping trips in the U.P. when I was probably 6 years old, He told me the story of the Edmund Fitzgerald with actual pain in his voice..then he played the song by Gordon Lightfoot for me. That's a core memory of mine lol

Miss you Gord. You got to me like nobody before. But you already know that. In my opinion you are the best thing that Canada has ever had the privilege to produce. Your contribution to Canadian music, folk music, and storytelling cannot be equaled. In Canada right now, you make me the proudest to be Canadian. Because of you, I can be proud of one thing.

A very important person in my life surprised me with tickets to your show. We were 5th row, Center, in the floor seating. She remembered that once I said that most would want to be in the front row. I mentioned that the 5th row is where to be. Your not staring straight up at the band. It was my Birthday and it couldn't have been a better, more memorable experience. It was a surreal moment in my life. You sang Edmond Fitzgerald and I will never forget it till my own passing. RIP Gordon Thanks for all the great memories

And one for Gordon what a wonderful way to honour a great person
I love the song. During the plandemic i needed a vacation since no tractor show and went up to the U P to sault saint marie and did the boat tour of the soo locks and went over to the valley camp museum and saw some debri from the edmund then came down to mackinaw city and surprised mom with a hotel stay and met my brothers family on the ferry to the island for the day
'O Canada...RIP Gordon
Goosebumps, I bet that made him smile one last time 😊
Loved! His song “If You Could Read My Mind”, RIP.
I feel the same way you do. I remember when that song came out, and that's how I learned of the Edmond Fitzgerald.
That's awesome, glad you could tell us about the cool little things that make Detroit so unique.
I'm from Detroit'Michigan was a GREAT City in the Late 1950s ! GF was a GREAT Singer Adios Sir See YA on the Other SIDE !
Mad respect for Gord 🙏🏼🙌
That's a great song! Gives tribute to the brave souls on board that lost their lives....
The song still gives me goosebumps. Beautiful Americana in his songs.
We will miss you Gordon... Your music will live on.. through this sundown
Great tribute to Gordon, the memory's live on because of his beautiful tribute to the crew of the Edmond Fitzgerald. One of my favorite songs
An anchor from the ship sits on belle isle. Gordon must have been instrumental in that anchor being reclaimed from the Detroit river. He brought so much honor to those men and all lives lost on the lakes.
Rip gordon... that song always mistified me and entranced me.
Heartbreakingly Beautiful Song. 😥🙏RIP Gordon. 😇😊💖🙏
That's absolutely Outstanding!!! Proud Michigander 😊
I listened to the song (ever night) at work. RIP Lightfoot.
Gonna go listen to that song 🙏✌️☝️
This is awesome,I never would’ve known
Loved visiting the old maritime sailors cathedral. I was so lucky to get to see Gordon live before he passed away.
Awesome!!!!Best thing to happen in Detroit in a while👍.
Damn I didn't know he passed😢 RIP Gordon. Your song is legendary, especially to us surrounded by those treacherous waters that the Fitz went down in. RIP to all 30 men.
Thank you Gordon. Great Music. Rr

That's a beautiful church.
The music never dies RIP to Gordon Lightfoot🎶
Talented artist, His music will be loved and respected.
Ugh, I didn't know he passed. I listen to this song at least once a week. My dad introduced me to this great man. I'm now sad. Thanks for sharing the classy act by the church.
Most people will just die and be forgotten. People like Gordon will live forever. ❤ r.i.p
I love that song,always have since I was a kid and sparked my interest in what happened of the Edmond Fitzgerald, thanks Mr Lightfoot REST IN PARADISE
Very nice! 👍👍 ...and you're right. 😪
