    I found JD when I was 21. I’m now 72. John was with me every step of my life. He dominated the 70’s. He cared about the world. The environment, hunger, war, small farmers- he cared about all of them and worked all his life to make things better. He helped me to be a better human being. His hits are wonderful. Listen to some of his less well known music. It will blow you away

    It gives me such joy to see someone react to the purity of his voice, his depth and his vulnerability the way that I did back in 1974.

    John Denver. My era. So darn talented. Gone too soon. Written for his wife Annie. His voice was unique. So clean and clear. Outdoorsman. Loved nature. Died in a plane crash viewing nature. 60s 70s were amazing for music. This is a taste of it.

    John Denver was a National Treasure. He recorded over 300 songs, wrote over 200 songs. John was loved for decades and was considered Folk, Pop Rock, Country. He was a loveable man and passed too soon. John wrote this to his wife.

    I think this is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written. He had many great songs and several of them were about the beauty and wonder of nature. I'm grateful because his music made me notice and appreciate our world more and the need to take care of it better.

    John Denver is my most favorite artist of all-time! Wrote many great songs! Co-wrote "Take Me Home, Country Roads," wrote "Rocky Mountain High," "Leaving on a Jet Plane," "Goodbye Again," "Shanghai Breezes," and "Calypso" among others! Has such an amazing voice and has a feeling in it when he sings and you should see a live version of this song!

    There were so many of John's songs that impacted my life. His song Sunshine On My Shoulders, was my son's lullaby and is now the song he sings to his kids every night. A good friend of mine was part of the folk scene in Las Angeles in the early 60's. He met John as John was trying to break into the music scene. They even roomed together for a few months. Later, after John got big, he invited my friend to his home to meet the girl he would someday marry. That was who this song is written for and about...Annie.

    At the time of his death in a single airplane crash, he ran out of gas a pilot error. The media, from what I remember. Seemed to report him as a has been singer, I never forget that. It's good that your proving them wrong.

    R.I.P. John. I grew up in Denver Colorado and grew up on John Denver's music. I always thought he had a voice that could just touch the soul in a certain way. And with the music he always transports me home again.

  • @Cheryltwin2012
    @Cheryltwin2012 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Denver wrote this song on a ski lift after a fight with his then wife, Annie. It departs from the usual verse and chorus structure and is basically telling a story to music. I have loved John's music for as long as I can remember. His gentle, gorgeous voice and beautiful guitar playing complement each other perfectly. The 70's was inundated with singer/songwriters like Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, Cat Stevens and James Taylor, but for my money, John Denver outdoes them all. Maybe John took a page from Cat Steven's book when Cat advised "write about what you know". Denver's music is filled with songs about simple pleasures and things he took solace in. Maybe that's why he was so successful.

    You have to check out his song called "Eagle and the Hawk", the chords are amazing, the way the tempo changes, and the feeling and emotions you get from a very short song is just amazing, none like I've ever heard before. Much Thanks!

    First time watching you, and I'm so glad you did this reaction. I get misty eyed thinking about how tragic his life ended. So young. I was a teenager and young woman when he wrote and sang such great songs. I recommend you watch the video of him singing this song. His face exudes love. You really should hear his song "Rocky Mountain High" and "Country Roads". They're incredible.

    @rk41gator 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    If you like a pure voice and great heartfelt lyrics you should look into Phil Collins. His solo work is amazing ('In The Air Tonight' LIVE Paris 2004 is a must!) but he was also in Genesis singing backup and later as the lead singer. Ghost just this year did a cover of their 'Jesus He Knows Me' (NOT a religious song as you might expect) and Disturbed did a cover of their 'Land of Confusion'. Both are as good or better than the originals. That is something! Maybe play both versions with the original (although neither is a great Genesis tune.....but their melodies are beyond amazing).

  • @t.k3025
    @t.k3025 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Extremely popular in his era. Many famous singers learned to portray honest lyrics from his songs. You can’t beat Denver’s enunciation. I would suggest for voice beauty, you also check out Karen Carpenter.

    Yessss John Denver... in concert I attended in Saratoga Springs, NY, Denver told the audience we were first crowd to hear this LIVE. .. IT DID HIT CHARTS shortly after... the folksy sound of USA in the 70s. Him, and of course, LINDA RONSTADT (my older baby crush, as a teen)
    I think LONG LONG TIME, but Linda R. Also brings in some beautiful violin.... what a GREAT singer, multi genre she was. I wish that Angelina Jordan has a Ronstadt type career for 40 yrs.

    John Denver was a great singer and song writer. He had loads of great songs and was more of a folk singer than country. John sounded just as good live (if not better) than he did on the studio versions. He wrote this song in 10 minutes on the ski lift after a row with his wife. He was also an environmentalist before most people knew what this meant. He died far too young and is greatly missed.

    John Denver wrote this in 10 mins for his wife after their first separation and at the start of the breakdown of their marriage. It's quite a moving story as they were about to get back together when he died. I'm 71 and grew up listening to John Denver and it's so lovely to hear this again. I think he was always a very under appreciated singer/songwriter. Listen to Calypso - another great song.
