Quick Glance: Gordon Lightfoot, a Canadian singer-songwriter, has died at the age of 84.
- It was one of several historically oriented Lightfoot works, and he touched on the character and people of his own country frequently throughout the course of 21 albums recorded over five decades, most famously in "Canadian Railroad Trilogy," cherished by many Canadians as an unofficial national anthem.
- In 2001, he was inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame.
- "I can't think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I don't like," Dylan once said.
- He'd penned scores of songs by the early 1960s, but he subsequently said that those early tunes meant little to him.
