Harry Chapin, John Denver, and Gordon Lightfoot all shaped my life in profound ways and have near-sacred status in my musical memories. I remember Harry promoting World Hunger Year at his concerts. Knowing that these other guys got together with him to support that cause... makes my memories of all of them that much more special.<br /><br />I've never really gotten over John and Harry's deaths. I recently saw Gordon in concert again and could hardly bear seeing (and hearing) how much he's aged. The resonant baritone has faded, but he still gave us quite a playlist.BlueJadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339455282683478288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782669477005204994.post-67817931771321098642013-12-08T08:35:38.216-08:002013-12-08T08:35:38.216-08:00I had attended this concert at the Detroit Olympia...I had attended this concert at the Detroit Olympia in 1977 with my best girlfriend Linda Lindsay. This was a most rememorable concert I had ever attended. I was watching Gordon Lightfoot today on CBS Sunday Morning which brought me back to this memory of these four great singers. It was totally amazing !!!! Thank you for bring back a memory never forgotten with the clip.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12648940973834216080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782669477005204994.post-86400963997589006222013-05-14T14:32:52.906-07:002013-05-14T14:32:52.906-07:00Such a lovely clip, thank you SO much for sharing ...Such a lovely clip, thank you SO much for sharing it. I am a fan of John Denver from across the pond and to hear his gorgeous clear sweet voice ringing out here was magical. I really wish I had been there! <br /><br />I had Irish grandparents and my mum always used to sing this song and you're right - I can't remember the words but can remember the chorus. Beautiful to hear it again. silversapphirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03177941357996408227noreply@blogger.com
