Gord’s Gold is in my top ten albums that influenced me. My dad was a big fan. That album was the backing track to many long vacation drives to and from Florida as a kid.
In 2019 they released a documentary called If You Could Read My Mind. I’d always looked at photo of Gordon and listened to his music thinking he must of been a mellow soft spoken dude. Quite the contrary. He a was a bit of a hell raiser and had the party house for the who’s who of the LA music scene of the time. Joni Mitchell, Bob Dillan, James Taylor, amongst many others spent many nights whooping it up at his place.
His music is his legacy. He’ll live on in perpetuity.
RIP songbird.
