Gordon has passed away at the age of 84, of natural causes. He wrote many terrific songs, a couple of which were recorded by Elvis.
I saw Gordon perform in London back in the 80s in a small venue. So many of his songs are favourites of mine which I like playing on guitar.
Here he is singing one of his best known.
