Sad..great singer/songwriter...my folks were a fan, I grew up listening to him on our cross-country motorhome road trips in the 80s.   Saw him in concert a few years ago.

Bummer, Big part of most of our lives. Great singer/songwriter. His signature song about the Edmond Fitzgerald is one of the greatest songs ever written and recorded. R.I.P.

Oh man i just heard.It’s a real shame.He had a lot of great songs.Especially his #1 song,which IMO has to be [The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald].One of the best written songs about a tragedy that cost 29 sailors their lives.RIP to all.??
