dct:abstract

%22If You Could Read My Mind%22 is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. It reached number one on Canadian music charts and was his first recording to appear on the American music charts, reaching number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in February 1971. Later in the year it reached number 30 in the UK. The song also reached number one for one week on the Billboard Easy Listening chart, and was the first of four Lightfoot releases to reach number one. This song first appeared on Lightfoot's 1970 album Sit Down Young Stranger, which was later renamed If You Could Read My Mind following the song's success. Lightfoot has cited his divorce for inspiring the lyrics, saying they came to him as he was sitting in a vacant Toronto house one summer.In 1987 Lightfoot took a law suit out against the writer of %22The Greatest Love of All%22, alleging plagiarism of 24 bars of %22If You Could Read My Mind%22. Lightfoot has stated that he dropped the suit when he felt it was having a negative effect on the singer Whitney Houston, as the suit was about the writer and not her.The song is in A major and uses the subtonic chord.
