Gordon Lightfoot
Me And Bobby McGee
1970
"Me and Bobby McGee" is a song written by Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster, originally performed by Roger Miller. Janis Joplin notably covered the song on the album Pearl. The song was recorded only a few days before her death in October 1970.
Some sources state that Gordon Lightfoot issued the first recorded version; another story tells how Kristofferson popped his head into the studio with freshly written verses as Roger Miller was recording the song. Regardless, Miller was the first artist to have a hit with the song, peaking with it at #12 on the US country charts in 1969. Lightfoot's version hit #13 pop, and #1 country in his native Canada in 1970

There are singers, and then there are songwriters. Often more than not they are not always the same. Take Bob Dylan for example, without a doubt probably the greatest songwriter in modern culture, but seriously, he can't sing. Still, he has a style that's his own so it works for him, actually he has three styles, but this is about Gordon Lightfoot. Gordon Lightfoot who wrote Me And Bobby McGee is up there as being one of the most popular songwriters to be covered by other artists because his music and lyrics can easily be adapted to folk, country, and rock. This is what makes a superb song writer. For example Trent Reznor aka Nine Inch Nails wrote the song Hurt, and was not really optimistic when asked by Johnny Cash if he could record it, but when he heard it, it had and impact on Reznor. Ironically, Johnny Cash is no great vocalist either, but his style and timing is beyond reproach. Now, Gordon Lightfoot is a vocalist. His style is a haunting country folk style and every song he wrote and sang he made his own, but he also made for everyone. Gordon believes in the idea of sharing his music and is thrilled when anyone pays tribute with a cover of his work. He has the respect of his peers in the industry and on top of that he is a proud Canadian.9 years ago

I've listening to all the others, including Kristofferson. There is nothing like this version. Love it! It's that soft clap of the windshield wipers in the background and the fab acoustic guitar. Thank you Gordie! 9 years ago
