Gordon Lightfoot performs single showSept. 18, 2008 KALAMAZOO--Five-time Grammy nominee Gordon Lightfoot will take the stage of Western Michigan University's Miller Auditorium for a single performance at 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27. Since emerging from the Toronto folk club scene in the early 1960s, Lightfoot has recorded 19 albums and won 17 Juno Awards in his native Canada. He is best known for the hit songs "If You Could Read My Mind," "Sundown" and "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." Lightfoot helped define the folk-pop sound of the 1960s and 70s, influencing musicians Gene Clark, Dan Fogelberg and Jimmy Buffett, among others. Named Canadian male recording artist of the decade in 1980, his signature folk-based acoustic guitar and baritone voice have won him such fans as the legendary Dylan, who named Lightfoot as one of his favorite songwriters.
