Mike then tells us the stories behind some of Loverboy’s biggest hits, including “Turn Me Loose”, “Working For The Weekend” and “The Kid Is Hot Tonite”.įollowing the Loverboy chat, we have an amazing series of clips from Chuck Berry – the very first inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Mike also talks about their late bassist Scott Smith, who was declared missing when he was swept overboard by a large wave while sailing off the coast of San Francisco. Mike is a gifted storyteller as he explains the origins of the band’s name, why a legacy band creates new music, and why they were embraced by MTV immediately.

'If You Could Read My Mind' and 'The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald'. The stories behind massive hits like 'Sundown'. How early covers of his songs put him in the rarefied company of the likes of Bob Dylan. We'll feature a 2006 interview with musician Robbie Lane, in which Gord recalls his early years playing small clubs in Toronto - and how other artists would mine his catalogue for themselves. His thoughtfulness, his love of songwriting, his regrets, his ambition and his sense of humour. It's a rich treasure trove of highlights in which you'll get to know Lightfoot very well.
