Gordon Lightfoot shined a light on "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" when he wrote a chart-topping single about the sinking of the massive bulk carrier in Lake Superior in 1975. I only wish his 1968 song about the Detroit riots lived on as sharply in people's minds -- another tragedy from which the Motor City has still not recovered. The photo-filled video will stay with you long after the song ends.
