Chanteur Folk Canadien né le 17
Novembre 1938 à Orillia
(Ontario). Gordon Lightfoot est décédé le 1er Mai 2023.
One of the
leading singer/songwriters of the 1960s and '70s, Gordon Lightfoot was Canada's
most successful contemporary folk artist, establishing himself as an important
songwriter in the mid-'60s and going on to become a major international
recording star in the following decade. Lightfoot's songs are literate but down
to earth, and deal with personal matters as well as global issues in a manner
that's poetic yet accessible, and his rich, strong voice is a superb vehicle for
his material, though his songs are versatile enough that many artists have
enjoyed success with his tunes.
Lightfoot was born in Orilla, Ontario on November 17, 1938. His mother had an
interest in music and recognized her son's talent at an early age; he was
singing in church at the age of five, and came in second in a local talent
competition when he was ten. At 12, Lightfoot began studying piano and voice,
learning the rudiments of both pop and classical styles, and after winning a
Toronto Kiwanis Festival music contest in 1951, he performed as part of a
special concert at Toronto's Massey Hall (widely regarded as Canada's equivalent
to New York's Carnegie Hall in terms of prestige). After Lightfoot's voice
changed, he taught himself to play guitar and began performing with a folk group
called the Teen Timers, and also took up drumming and singing with a barbershop
quartet. After graduating from high school, he moved to California to study
orchestration and jazz composition at the Westlake College of Music. While Lightfoot found
work singing on demo recordings and commercial jingles in Hollywood, he didn't
care for life in California, and returned to Toronto to focus his efforts on
folk and country music. In 1960, he became a member of the Swinging Eight, the
in-house vocal group on the popular Canadian television series Country Hoedown,
a position he held for two years, and formed a duo with fellow singer Terry
Whalen called the Two Tones. While the Two Tones were popular enough to play at
Canada's celebrated Mariposa Folk Festival and release an album in 1962, the duo
was short-lived, and Lightfootgave Europe a try in 1963, spending some time in
Great Britain and hosting an eight week BBC-TV series, The Country & Western
Show. By this time, Lightfoot had begun playing occasional solo dates, and had a
regional hit in Canada with the single "Remember Me (I'm the One)," a moody pop
ballad.
In 1963, Lightfoot discovered the work of Bob Dylan and began approaching his
songwriting in a new and more personal style. Ian
& Sylvia Tyson, the popular Canadian folk duo, heard Lightfoot performing
some of his new material at a club in Toronto, and were impressed enough that
they added some of his songs to their repertoire. Ian
& Sylvia also brought Lightfoot's songs to the attention of their
manager, Albert Grossman, who signed Lightfoot to a management contract. A
number of major artists began recording Lightfoot's material, most notably Peter,
Paul & Mary (who enjoyed hits with "Early Morning Rain" and "For Lovin' Me") and Marty
Robbins (he topped the country charts with "Ribbon of Darkness"). In 1966, Lightfoot signed
a recording contract with United Artists Records, and his first solo album,
simply called Lightfoot!, earned favorable reviews and was a modest commercial
success. Between 1967 and 1969, Lightfoot would record three more studio albums
and a live LP for United Artists, and he became a major star in his native
Canada, where his albums often spun off hit singles, and he began headlining
annually at Massey Hall to sold-out crowds. But in the United States, his songs
were best known as recordings by others.
In 1970, after Lightfoot's contract with United Artists ran out, he broke ties
with Grossman and signed a new record deal with the Reprise label. Lightfoot's
first album for Reprise, Sit Down Young Stranger, boasted a more polished and
sophisticated production than his UA material, and it spawned a long-overdue
U.S. hit, "If You Could Read My Mind." The single rose to the Top Five of the
pop charts, and after the album was retitled If You Could Read My Mind, it
reached the Top Ten. While Lightfoot had finally achieved international success,
he continued to live and base his operations in Canada, and his next album,
1971's Summer Side of Life, featured several tunes focused on life in his
homeland. In 1972, Lightfoot released two albums, Don Quixote and Old Dan's
Records, but he was forced to cut back on his touring commitments after he was
diagnosed with Bell's Palsy. In 1974, he returned with the album Sundown, which
included the title tune and "Carefree Highway," both of which became major hit
singles, and his next two albums would also feature pop hits -- Summertime Dream included
the modern-day folk narrative "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," and Cold on
the Shoulder included "Rainy Day People." Lightfoot's United Artists material
had been reissued on a regular basis since "If You Could Read My Mind" became a
hit, but he'd become disenchanted with the production and performances on his
early albums, and the 1975 collection Gord's Gold featured new recordings of ten
songs from his days at UA as well as 12 more recent hits. From 1978 onward, Lightfoot's
presence on the singles charts began to fade, and while he continued to record
and tour regularly, his stardom in the United States declined, though his annual
run of shows at Massey Hall confirmed he still had a large and loyal audience at
home. Lightfoot also began devoting more time to benefit shows for various
charitable concerns, including world hunger and the environment, and he dabbled
in acting, starring in the 1982 films Harry Tracy and Desperado, and playing a
country singer on the short-lived American television series Hotel in 1988. In
1986, he was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
Lightfoot began experiencing a creative revival in the '90s, recording two of
his best-reviewed albums in decades, 1993's Waiting for You and 1998's A Painter
Passing Through, but his career nearly came to a halt in early 2002 when he
suffered an abdominal aortic aneurysm; he was in a coma for six weeks, and had a
three-month stay in the hospital. He survived the illness, and in 2003, he was
named a Companion of the Order of Canada, the highest honor the nation bestows
on civilians. Early 2004 saw the release of Harmony, an album Lightfoot began
working on before he fell ill; by the end of the year, he was back on the road. Lightfoot experienced
another health scare in the fall of 2006, when he suffered a minor stroke that
cost him some mobility in his right hand, but within six months he was able to
play guitar again, and continued to perform on a regular basis. In February
2010, word spread on the Internet that Lightfoot had died, and many Canadian
news organizations picked up the story. However, the singer himself happened to
hear a news report about it while driving home from a dental appointment, and
displaying an admirable sense of humor, contacted a Winnipeg radio station to
confirm he was still alive despite reports to the contrary. In 2012, Lightfoot
released All Live, a collection of recordings from his many appearances at
Massey Hall; it was only his second live album in a career lasting over 40 years. Lightfoot toured
regularly into the late 2010s, during which time Real Gone released the
double-disc collection The Complete Singles 1970-1980 in 2019.
Gordon Lightfoot died on May 1, 2023.
