The 2019 award-winning documentary, Gordon Lightfoot: If You Could Read My Mind, is now available for streaming free with Prime Video. It's also available on YouTube to buy or rent. The movie includes current interviews with Gordy, as well as many of his fellow Canadian musicians and entertainment professionals. 

His earliest song, For Lovin' Me, was a well covered hit for several artists, including Peter, Paul & Mary. Turns out, he hates the song! Just one of many revelations in the movie! It's a must see for any folk-rock fan.
