Only one I'm familiar with is Gordon Lightfoot.

He wrote his best songs in the 1960's and 1970's.

Best known song is probably, "If You Could Read My Mind" (1970)
His song, "Sundown" topped US billboard charts in 1974.

Fantastic songwriter too.
He wrote the great "Early Morning Rain" circa 1965, even Elvis covered it.

Gino Vannelli and Gordon Lightfoot.

Gordon Lightfoot sung The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald which was a good song..... or was it Edmund Fitzgerald who sung The Wreck of the Gordon Lightfoot... lol

Gino Vannelli and Gordon Lightfoot.

I think every Canadian would know Gordon Lightfoot (at least I'd be shocked if they didn't).

Neil Young actually did a nice cover of that song.

I remember Buffy Saint Marie when she was on Sesame Street back in the 1970s. I didn't know she wrote "Up Where We Belong"!
