slight preference to Croce although I do like Lightfoot.

youtube croce and check out his guitar player - very underrated.

I am related to Jim Croce through marriage and I love Maury Muelheisen's guitar playing. That being said, I voted for Gordon Lightfoot because that song is pure magic and he was the first singer that I recognized as a little kid in the 70s. I remember hearing Sundown on the radio and telling my mother that it sounded like the guy who sang Carefree Highway. She said it was and my love for music began.

Cool! I love Jim and Maury! God bless those guys! How sad! Maury was such a large part of Jim's sound and band. Not many people know how great he was/is.

 

Check him out!:

I went with Time in a Bottle.

 

That being said, didn't Lightfoot do "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"? That was a great song that would have gotten my vote if it was in the poll.

Croce all the way, man. Lightfoot mows Croce's widow's lawn on Sundays... for free!

Like them both, maybe a very slight edge to Croce between these two. Overall, I might give a slight edge to Lightfoot. But it's close. Lightfoot is coming here and I'd seriously think of going if the show wasn't on Mother's Day!

Croce by a hair but both are good songs.

My, how 20 months can change a man. Currently enjoying the music of one G. Lightfoot. Edmund Fitzgerald & Sundown are excellent! If You Could Read My Mind is still as limp as a lettuce that has lost the run of itself.

Time in a Bottle all the way. And for the record, Maury Muehleisen is criminally underrated.

I see it constantly here.

Out of those 2. If you could Read My Mind...love, love it.
