GORDON LIGHTFOOT SIGNED AUTOGRAPHED ORIGINAL OVERSIZED CANADA POST OFFICE PROMO POSTER WITH COA
Canadian music legend Gordon Lightfoot has hand signed this thick oversized poster that is an original on-site Canada Post, post office promo display poster that was used to promote The Living Legends Stamp Collection in June 2007. I personally met Gordon and had him sign this poster in-person before my eyes in April 2019 in Toronto, Canada and he signed it with a very large bold signature. The poster will come with a Certificate of Authenticity that details exactly where and when it was signed. The poster was only for display purposes and not for sale, hence the extreme rarity of this item. It measures roughly 28x22 inches and is printed on very thick cardstock poster paper. It is double sided with both French and English appearing on each side (as shown in the 1st picture).
The poster w
ill come shipped, rolled in a secure double wall poster tube. You are bidding for just the signed poster (not the stamp sheet). This is a very rare one of a kind item that you will not find elsewhere.
In June 2007, Canada Post issued a set of four 52-cent stamps celebrating Lightfoot alongside fellow Canadian music icons Joni Mitchell, Anne Murray and Paul Anka. The issue followed the previous summer’s popular Canadians in Hollywood issue.
“Creating these stamps is Canada Post’s way of giving something back to these very talented artists, who have given so much to Canadians,” said Liz Wong, manager of stamp design and production at Canada Post, adding the four stamps were only the second Canada Post issue to honour living Canadians, the first being Oscar Peterson in 2005.
Lightfoot was born on Nov. 17, 1938, in Orillia, Ont. A talented youth, he performed at Massey Hall at the age of 13 as well as in a barbershop quartet called the Teen-Timers during high school. Soon after, he performed with a choral and dance group on CBC’s
Country Hoedown
and later played the North American coffeehouse circuit.
Lightfoot’s big break came with
If You Could Read My Mind
and was followed by hits
Alberta Bound
,
Did She Mention My Name?
and
The Way I Feel
.
His accolades include 15 Juno Awards, an induction into the Juno Hall of Fame, the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award and the first induction to the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003.
