Today in music history

* In 1938, singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot -- Canada's most famous and arguably most important pop musician in the late '60s -- was born in Orillia. Inspired by Bob Dylan and other urban folk musicians in the early '60s, his first hit came in 1965 with I'm Not Saying. That same year, Peter, Paul and Mary took Lightfoot's composition For Lovin' Me into the U.S. Top 30. In the late '60s, Lightfoot easily made the transition to pop. In 1971, he made his first appearance on the Billboard chart with If You Could Read My Mind, which went to number 5. And in 1974, both his single and album Sundown topped the Billboard charts. Lightfoot's other international hits have included The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald and Carefree Highway. Between 1965 and '78, he won 15 Juno Awards and in 1986 was inducted into the Canadian Recording Industry Hall of Fame.
