Thread Name: Four Strong Winds Top Canadian Song
Subject: RE: Four Strong Winds Top Canadian Song
I agree that "Four Strong Winds" is an incredible song. It was written and recorded to memorialize their divorce, a thing, I suspect, that only folk musicians would have the sentient sensitivity to do.
You can't believe everything you read on Mudcat Cafe.
Ian & Sylvia met in 1959.
They recorded "Four Strong Winds" in 1963.
They got married in 1964.
They got divorced in 1975.
