During the 60s, Yorkville was arguably the most important musical location in Canada, launching the careers of people that have made such enormous contributions to Canadian music that we can hardly remember what it was like before they arrived. Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Rick James are just some of the artists who make appearances in this episode dedicated to the rise and fall of the Yorkville Music Scene.
