Pee Wee Charles- Edmund Fitzgerald 50 years ago tomorrow 11-10

Post by Craig Stock »

Just saw this article today of one of Gordon Lightfoot's best songs.

Pee Wee did such beautifully haunting steel playing on this song that made it to number one in Canada and 2 in the USA.

I read somewhere that the song was recorded in one take late at night at the end of a session.

Maybe Ed can chime in on the details!
