Gordon Lightfoot Summertime Dream (Translucent Blue/ Limited Edition) vinyl record

Summertime Dream is Canadian singer Gordon Lightfoot's twelfth original album, released on the Reprise Records label in 1976. It peaked at #1 on the Canadian RPM national album chart and #12 on the US Billboard pop chart.

The album marked Lightfoot's commercial zenith in a remarkable period of popularity, beginning with the 1970 hit, "If You Could Read My Mind". He has not since achieved the same level of commercial success.

The album shot to popularity on the back of the haunting ballad, "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", which told the story of the final hours of SS Edmund Fitzgerald which had sunk on Lake Superior in November 1975. The song remains popular to this day and has been credited with making the sinking of Edmund Fitzgerald the most famous maritime incident in the history of the Great Lakes.

"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" reached #1 in Canada on November 20, 1976. In the US, it peaked at #2 on the pop chart and #50 on the country chart while "Race Among the Ruins" peaked at #65 on the pop chart.
