He is arguably most known for his song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", a song/story about what happened in that horrible tragedy. Some of his other well-known songs include "Sundown", "Black Day in July", "Early Morning Rain" and many more.
Lightfoot has been having many health issues since 2002, and was even the victim of a death hoax in 2010. However the 81-year-old singer continues to perform to this day.

Gordon Lightfoot must have lied that he doesn't have a middle name a lot throughout his life...I certainly would if my middle name was a female name.

Noun. The act of tapping someone lightly on the nuts with your foot in an attempt to either piss them off, or let them know you mean business.
Lowry was getting ticked that Hank kept peeing on his house so he went out to yell at him one day to find that Hank would not listen so readily. Lowry then proceeded to give Hank "The Gordon Lightfoot", which knocked Hank out of his alcoholic trance. Then Hank having been "Gordon Lightfooted" decided to turn his life around and become a porn star.
