Sun, Soul & Sadness

I like the summer and the sunshine, but the sunset after a warm day always gives me a sad feeling for some reason. To deal with those feelings I created this mix. One of the tracks is ‘Sundown’, the classic from Gordon Lightfoot. And one of the comments on YouTube was this one:

"Think of all the great songs we'd never have if Gordon's first wife hadn't been such a bitch!"

Gordon Lightfoot also wrote the wonderful ‘If you could me read my mind’ that became a disco hit for Viola Wills in 1980.
