@ctvnews: Without Gordon Lightfoot’s song, the Edmund Fitzgerald could have faded from memory along with the names of the roughly 6,500 other ships that went down in the Great Lakes before it. Lightfoot was inspired to write his ode to the Fitzgerald and the 29 men who died on board after reading the first Associated Press story about the wreck and a Nov. 24, 1975, article in Newsweek magazine. The song was released in August 1976, less than a year later. #canada #edmundfitzgerald #gordonlightfoot

Bryan Cranston would be perfectly cast to play Lightfoot in a docudrama

I grew up on the shore of Lake Ontario, this song was built into my childhood. When I moved to Colorado in the 90's, I couldn't believe these people never heard of this story, nor song!
