Wow, that is an amazing tidbit of information that Gordon Lightfoot happened to be in Detroit when the riots occurs ... maybe visiting Joni Mitchell.
The "Let it Be" clip is from the "Across the Universe" movie If you love the Beatles, and have not seen the movie, you are in for a real treat. In the movie, various Beatle songs are re-interpreted and hung into a story line. In the movie, "Let It Be" is about the Detroit riots. I thought the movie was phenominal.
Wikipedia says "Across the Universe" is amusical romantic drama film released in 2007 and directed by Julie Taymor, who directed the stage musical, The Lion King.
