I watched a good documentary about him. I think it was on Prime.

Damn.... Godspeed Gordon

Being a MI boy he was a regular on the radio. Got to see him in the late 90s at a small venue in Buffalo; great show.

I've been a fan since childhood in the early '70's. Part of the soundtrack of my life. Classy, talented guy....Can't think of any songs of his I don't like. RIP.

Agree. When he sings that song it cuts right to the bone.

Great singer and songwriter. I still listen to him often, sorry to see him pass. Another great one gone.

Having said that, saw him in 76, worst concert ever. No band or back up singers, just Gordon and his guitar. Concert seemed like it was a week long.
