"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is a song written, composed, and performed by Gordon Lightfoot in commemoration of the sinking of the bulk carrier SS Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975.

The song originally appeared on Lightfoot's 1976 album, Summertime Dream, and was later released as a single. The single reached #2 on the Billboard pop chart in November 1976, making it Lightfoot's second most successful single (in terms of chart position), following "Sundown", which reached number one in 1974.

The song remains popular to this day and has been credited with making the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald the most famous maritime incident in the history of the Great Lakes. This <b>...</b>

Quarterback Brett Favre will not play in Minnesota’s game Monday night against Chicago, the Vikings’ interim coach, Leslie Frazier, said. Favre said last week that his sprained throwing shoulder was still bothering him. Once considered a lock for the the NFC North crown, the end of the regular season finds them homeless, Favreless, and they will probably be the win that clinches playoff spots for two division races, on consecutive national night-game broadcasts.Tune in to watch this game live streaming online by simply clicking on the link provided at the top of this message right here on nfl.trueonlinetv.If you are unable to click the link then you could copy and paste it in your browser.
