- Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (December 31, 1943 - October 12, 1997), known professionally as John Denver, was an American singer-songwriter, record producer, actor, activist, and humanitarian, whose greatest commercial success was as a solo singer. In the 1970s, he was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the decade and one of its best-selling artists. By 1974, he was one of America's best-selling performers, and AllMusic has described Denver as "among the most beloved entertainers of his era".
Denver recorded and released approximately 300 songs, about 200 of which he composed. He had 33 albums and singles that were certified Gold and Platinum in the U.S by RIAA certification with estimated sales of more than 33 million units. He recorded and performed primarily with an acoustic guitar and sang about his joy in nature, his disdain for city life, his enthusiasm for music, and his relationship trials. Denver's music appeared on a variety of charts, including country music, the Billboard Hot 100, and adult contemporary, in all earning 12 gold and four platinum albums with his signature songs "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Annie's Song", "Rocky Mountain High", "Calypso", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", and "Sunshine on My Shoulders".

Before one of the performances of this song, John spoke about its genesis. He was driving, feeling depressed and lonely when it came to him, and his mood lifted. Out of such pain came this comforting and philosophical song..."the memory of love will see you through".
Finest, loveliest, greatest John’s song ever
the song is a river of tunes, a poem, a stream of feelings, heart beats, and in moments like heaven itself
I dare any modern artist to see if they have what it takes to create such a purely sung song with bare minimum accompaniment, and perform it themselves so masterfully.
A true masterpiece this.

Simply amazing
Come on, many beautiful songs were written after John Denver. What about Adele? And many others
A great loss, John, but what a joy! What a voice, such a big heart!❤
I'm so happy that I got to see him in concert in Saginaw, Michigan once.
This song actually lifts you up to heaven! 🎀🎄🎀
*PERHAPS LOVE*
Perhaps love is like a resting place
A shelter from the storm
It exists to give you comfort
It is there to keep you warm
And in those times of trouble
When you are most alone
The memory of love will bring you home
Perhaps love is like a window
Perhaps an open door
It invites you to come closer
It wants to show you more
And even if you lose yourself
And don't know what to do
The memory of love will see you through
Oh, love to some is like a cloud
To some as strong as steel
For some a way of living
For some a way to feel
And some say love is holding on
And some say letting go
And some say love is everything
And some say they don't know
Perhaps love is like the ocean
Full of conflict, full of change
Like a fire when it's cold outside
Or thunder when it rains
If I should live forever
And all my dreams come true
My memories of love will be of you
Happy Valentines Day. We miss you John ... Thank you for making the world a better place ...your extraordinary musical talent and your fantastic personality combined were such wonderful gifts for us all. ❤
