"Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is a wonderfully sad & somber song. When it first came out, back in the 70s, I had no idea that it was about a contemporary shipwreck that had just occurred in the Great Lakes a few months earlier. Gordon Lightfoot created that instant classic that sounded so much like an old sea shanty, I thought it must be about some ancient historical incident.
