I will add this song to the playlist for my memorial (I'm a cancer patient and the End of Life is drawing closer). "My memories of love will be of you."
Oh John, You are so missed. Listening to this brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for the short time you gave us here on earth with the beautiful music and songs.
I first heard him when I lived in Korea and was so glad to see him in concert in St. Louis in 1979. I miss his music and his sense of humor. He was truly a great musician and human being.
I completely agree. I was a professional singer for many years, and every time I hear him I'm impressed all over again. He sounded exactly the same at age 54 shortly before he died: th-cam.com/video/-P1YRVQZKl0/w-d-xo.html&start_radio=1
I saw a YT analysis of his singing recently which gave me some insight as to why he's so good. He's always on pitch, with a slight, very well controlled vibratro, which he can increase for effect, as he wishes. He's also at one with his songs: perfectly conveying his thoughts and emotions.
In 1975 I was attending the USMC Officers Infantry School (TBS) at Quantico VA. I'M from Montana, and it was the first time I was that far from home and everyone I loved. I saw John in concert and he took me home for that moment in time. Have loved his music for all these long years, and have prayed that he is in heaven, singing to the LORD! RIP John Denver!
JAMES, YOUR WORDS ARE SO TRANSPARENTLY BEAUTIFUL~~THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR STORY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE IN THE USMC...THE FEW, THE PROUD, THE MARINE~~SEMPER FI~
When John denver passed,we were cheated out of years and years of his beautiful voice.i have alot of his music and I play it all the time.i sure miss his voice.
Wherever you are, I want you to know that your songs have filled with happiness all those depressed and broken-hearted people, thank you for your music, John.
There will could never be another John Denver or another voice like his angelic tones 🥺❣️ wherever you are John live on with all the love you shared 😢❤❤❤
I am sitting bawling like a baby, I keep playing this recording. One benefit about bawling----it seems to cleanse the soul. The beauty of Denver's words and music will stand the test of time. They spiritually connect us to our most inner being.
Exactly. I've had a feast of Denver music this weekend. I have loved him from the early 70's. Met him here in southern California and hope to see him in heaven.
I heard this song for the first time today.. and yes, I cried too.... for it reminded me of the love I had for my wife.. who left this world two years ago... this song touches the soul
I was a student at the University of Georgia in 1972 when my roommate convinced me to go see a fellow named John Denver who was to perform on campus. I had no idea who he was, but agreed to tag along to see him. I left the concert stunned at what I had just heard. What a magnificent performance! What a magnificent voice! What wonderful music. I have loved John Denver since that evening. Thanks, roomie, for your insistence on me going!
Saw JD in 1971 while at North Texas State University. Helen Redy opened the show. I love him being a part of my life. I felt he expressed in his music what was important to me - I was a part of his tribe. My heart broke at the news of his death. I miss him. I miss his music. The world needs John Denver today.
I know I’m way late to this conversation but I’ve loved his music since I was a little girl. I’m 56 now and i have a 6 month old granddaughter and every since she could no longer be rocked to peace or sleep (around 1 month of age) I began to carry her around the house and sing Sunshine on my shoulders to her, softly in her ear and it would stop all crying or fussiness and ease her to sleep.. I then began to play it and sing it to her while she needed comforting and to this day no matter how frustrated or upset or fussy she is, I pick her and rock with her around the house and play that beautiful song and she just settles immediately. She loves it. Thank you John, for giving me a real & deep connection with my sweet, precious girl that belongs to only her and I. 🥹♥️
I'm 73 and still playing guitar and singing. I used to sing a lot of John's songs, but now I cry too hard when I try to sing one, or even hear one 😢. Started happening when he died. What a voice!!
I pray we get a chance to meet him in God's restored world and hear all the stories that whispered the words of these songs to his heart. My husband died in 2014 . This song brings such wonderful memories to mind.
Fell in love with my husband at his concert in 1985 to this song. We had it done at our wedding. I had it done later in 2014 at his funeral. I can’t listen without bawling. Amazingly happy ...and painful memories .....but it always brings a smile.
A truly beautiful song. John's music brought my wife and I together, celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary this year. We managed to see him in concert 5 times, the last was in our home town and we took our three young sons (10, 8 and 5). Met him at the stage door afterwards and he made a fuss of the boys being out so late. I still have a personal letter from him which we treasure.
THANKS FOR YOUR SWEET STORY! YOUR TREASURE IS PRICELESS IN A PERSONAL LETTER FROM JOHN. I WOULD BET YOUR SONGS WILL HOLD ONTO THAT TREASURE FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES AS WELL.
To the cancer patient: God loves you and knows all about your cancer- ask Jesus into you heart and believe he can save you. There are better things to come- this life is temporary and your real home is heaven where you'll spend eternity no sickness ever again. God bless you and I'll be praying for you that you'll make a decision for Jesus- he's the answer. My love and prayers to you. See you in heaven!🙏❤
Whoever you are Jesus is the word and the word is god. He is the life force essence or Holy Spirit the comforter healer seek Jesus as stated in cant add more he is love made manifest. I love you more than you may realise i am that i am. Peace be with you always. ❤😊😊
SO SORRY FOR YOUR HUGE LOSS. I PRAY THAT IN TIME YOU WILL FEEL SOME PEACE. THE PAIN NEVER REALLY LEAVES US...IN MISSING ONE SO DEAR, SO CLOSE IN HEART. IT IS A BLESSING TO LOVE AND BE LOVED. YOU WERE BLESSED AND YOU DID BLESS OTHERS~~
Some say love is holding on, some say letting go, those words ring true as we watched my wife in her final moments, I wanted her to stay but she was suffering so much pain, letting go was the only way to end her pain, god I cry every time I hear this beautiful song, thank you John denver
I'm sorry to hear that. Sometimes you just have no other choice except letting go. A friend of mine lost her son this February. His death was an indirect consequence of mental illness. He was diagnosed with schizophrenia when he was 16 and institutionalized. When he turned 18, he was transferred into a half-house. A few years later, he was allowed to move into a studio apartment of his own, but he was placed under legal guardianship. Then, one day in late February, a farmer found him dead on a pile of pallets next to a heap of manure. He was wearing nothing but pajamas and one slipper. According to the autopsy, he died from hypothermia. He must have walked at least 200 miles that night, because that was the distance between his place and the farm. It turned out that he hadn't obtained o refill for his medication since October last year. Both he and his mother wanted him to recover instead of dying, but fate does not ask for consent. At least, in death, he's free from his misery.
Same here. In the end my beloved husband's need to be free from the physical pain of cancer is greater than my need to have him with me in this life, although the pain is now mine, and it's indescribable. I can't wait to be with him again for eternity.
John Denver had to make that call re his father. It's just hit me, those words and what they may have meant for him. His mother and brother were also there and John said in his bio it became his descion to make.
I had seen him once in Seattle and enjoyed him. A couple years later had the opportunity to see him again. I was excited. But then before the show started I learned that he would be preforming alone, without his band and thought about leaving figuring that he couldn't possibly entertain. I was wrong. Of all the concerts I have been to over the course of my 65 yrs, this one with just him showing what an absolute talent he was, was the very best. Shortly after I was up late watching Tv and CNN came on with the announcement that he had died in a plane crash. I cried. I cried for his family and I cried that we lost someone who had his own struggles but yet was in so many ways just a pure sole wanting what was best for all. I miss his music to this day.
I was there in that audience in 1983 in London, England. I hope that when he was in his final moments, he felt all of our love. I couldn't hardly believe the news. Cried for days and listened to his music, including this song. What a talent! Such a loss to the world.😢
What a sad and tragic day it was when this dearest, loving and most gifted of Human Beings departed this world, be it for a much better one. His Earthly legacy is here for us all to aspire to, his wisdom, his grace, his wonderful and beautiful Humanitarianism and love for Ecology. I feel extremely proud, privileged and honoured to have shared this world, be it briefly, through his magnificent music and heart rendering vocal lyrics. A gentle man in every sense of the word.💜😪💔
Too true Peter. I love all his songs and listen to them sung by him all the time. This one is so beautiful I come back to it time and time again even though it makes me cry as I recall all the loved ones who are no longer with me. He was the best. RIP John and thanks again for all of your wonderful music.
@@andriancurshen3586 My husband and I loved John Denver, too. When my husband passed a few weeks ago on Feb. 14, 2021, I had this song played during his service as we all said our last good-byes to him.
Discovering my heart's Love in my 6th decade gives me a unique perspective on the facets of Love. THIS is a song for my wedding, for the rest of my married years. Thank you, John.❤
John touched the hearts of people all over the world. He was passionate and sang with such sincerity. He knew how to express his feelings so deeply touched by catastrophes in the world and will live on in the hearts of people forever. Always my idol, a man with so much emotion and love of life. Truly truly missed. I loved the man and the music. Forever grateful for all that he did to make the world a better place. His legacy will continue to live on forever. Thank you John, I love you.
Beautiful and profound. He could be talking of a lover, a parent or his adoring audience. A wise man who has experienced the ups and downs of love, and concluded that it is worth it.
I found John's music in college in the sixties. it gave solace, hope and comfort in a decade full of turbulence and uncertainty. My daughter was raised on his music, though it seems none of the love found its way into her heart or life. I treasure the times we sang so many of his songs while we drove many miles together. This song is really how i feel about my wife and the love we share. It's love that's kept us happily together for two decades now and we hope many more. Peace and love to all of you.
I have always loved John Denver. He stirred emotions with his songs. He will be remembered forever because of his wonderful talent and beautiful songs. Rest in peace .
If you are still with us on Earth, I want to tell you that this song is such a beautiful song, because it makes one stop and think about all the things that love is. I played this song at my husband's funeral after a battle with cancer. Such a beautiful song and very heart rendering. If you are still with us love snd peace to you and my heart goes out to you. No worry or sorrow or pain is all that remains. God loves you.
I'm not exception, like most, I have an opinion and my opinion is I just listened to one of the greatest songs every written, and performed. Not just the words, but the tune, them melody and all those other song technicalities. And John Denver is the one who sings it best. No apparent effort, it flows from his mouth right to your brain. I thank him for his lasting gift to the world.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Wishing you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021! Son of John Denver.
JD, was not just a wonderful singer/ songwriter /& musician, he was a lovely person ,my wife, Jacqueline & I met with him on a number of occasions whilst he was in the UK, you could not meet a nicer, more genuine human being , it was a joy to be in his company. RIP Amigo JD, we are still pulling for you hombre. TJR & JMR Canary Islands .
I LOVE YOUR WORDS... IN THIS INSANE WORLD, YOU ARE SO VERY CORRECT. I FEEL A SOFT PEACE WHEN I LISTEN TO JOHN DENVER. HE WOULD BE SAD TO KNOW WHAT OUR WORLD TODAY IS ALL ABOUT. BLESSINGS~~
Believe it or there was a time in this nation where actual talent actually reigned in this nation, just a man and a guitar and a song...somehow we have lost this and with that loss...we lost so much more...simple and pure...RIP John Denver...RIP
Wherever you are, I want you to know that your songs have filled with happiness all those depressed and broken-hearted people, thank you for your music, John. RIP with your Smooth voice and talent. GOD"s with you sure forever
When my mother passed away unexpectedly, John Denver's music came to mind. True, it cleanses the soul. There's something about his songs that touches the soul. After listening to them, you feel a lot better. 🙏🌷❤💕
John Denver wrote the soundtrack to my life; I wept when he was killed in that airplane smash; Loosing my own son at a sweet tender age, and listening back to this, and hearing his words, takes me to a time and place, for me when life was still wonderous; Thank-you John for the magic, you poured into our hearts; life was magical, when you were with us; but, still your legacy lives on. and those who lived your experience, know the true joy and love, you shared with us; we were blessed!
Your name is hope. Don't loose it. Choose to find that magical and wondrous life again. That's perhaps your mission now on this planet. Believe in it. My heart is with you.
It was in the early 70's that I first heard this man and his music. As a New Zealander it was quite strange for me, so many of my friends mocked this choice of music, but in my heart it expressed what I felt , what I tried to express , to explain me. 50 years later, I have never found a better way to express myself. I don't sing much anymore , not that is no longer important - just that nobody cares anymore -
When John Denver died so did a gentler world, well, as far as music goes...The simple genre of folk music. Still miss seeing John Denver's Arbor Day and caring for the environment commercials, like him singing, "Plant a Tree." in the 70s and early 80s.
Tenho o vinil de Plácido Domingo cantando essa canção com o John. É de partir o coração... MARAVILHOSO!! Obrigada, John. Está feliz onde está agora, cantando com os anjos🙏💔💖💖🇧🇷🇧🇷
John Denver was my favorite. I can listen to his music and it transcends me to the most peaceful beautiful places I can ever imagine. I felt bad that this audience laughed at a moment when he was trying to be sincere. 😢 It's no secret now that he suffered from depression. RIP John......you are terribly missed & still LOVED. ❣️
The country charm, humility and genius of John Denver all wrapped up in this presentation. Magic. Had the pleasure of meeting him in Aspen as we waited for the school bus to drop off the kids. Down to earth guy.
Wow, even sung live this blows me away. When he says "from the bottom of my heart" and then sings the song. What an amazing personality he had, a truly beautiful soul. I love this song all the more, every time I hear it, thank you John, from the bottom of my heart 💘
JohnDenvers voice no matter what song has me either happy, or teary. This song perhaps love definitely the latter. God bless you John, where ever you are 🎉
Of German origin, he came to America and lived in the state of Denver.He loved the city so much that the rest was history. John Denver the late great legend of Country music.
I didn’t know that John Denver wrote this song in the memory of his father. On 16 August 2022 I’ll be singing this song at my mother’s memorial service and dedicating it to her memory. Thank you for writing such a beautiful song, Mr Denver. Rest In Peace. Your legacy lives on.
one of the most amazing human beings to have graced this earth. We are fortunate to have lived at a time when he was here, to benefit from all his gifts of advocacy and his talents.
@Ms.Bottom Time How right you are.. When l face the Good Lord and He would ask me what l did with my Time here on Earth..l'll say I spent a good portion of it listening to the music of John Denver
This is a perfect, beautifully written song. And he delivers it perfectly. There are great covers of it as well with a full orchestra that are amazing as well.
Wo else is still watching this wishing this time would never end and there would be still authentic and warm hearted singer songwriters?
The business has changed. They are out there.
All the time.....
Don’t know why this song makes me cry .
Me neither, unrequited love, I'm guessing
A two and a half minute song, that will last for ever
WOW! NOW THAT IS SIMPLISTICALL, PROFOUNDLY, BRILLIANT!
I will add this song to the playlist for my memorial (I'm a cancer patient and the End of Life is drawing closer). "My memories of love will be of you."
I am so sorry. Leaving before one’s time has to be distressing. Music means a lot to me n is my second love.
I will Be praying for you and yes a very beautiful song 🙏🏻
Your family and friends will forever thank you for your choosing such a beautiful song.
I hope you enjoyed the life and times you had with family and friends
“ The memory of love will bring you home. “
John was such a talented singer... His songs are endless.
Oh John, You are so missed. Listening to this brings tears to my eyes.
Thank you for the short time you gave us here on earth with the beautiful music and songs.
I do agree
I first heard him when I lived in Korea and was so glad to see him in concert in St. Louis in 1979. I miss his music and his sense of humor. He was truly a great musician and human being.
Just him and his guitar. No dancers, light shows or other distractors. THAT is talent.
thank you, exactly
Amen and Amen!!
He was so damn good..!
I agree 💕

He was an original country boy. His songs reflect his own feelings n experiences. Kindly revisit this planet once again.
2020: love how he puts nature’s imagery in his songs. A gifted artist gone too soon.

I love all his songs so amazing
Great composer. Classy songs

He was one of the most beautiful performers. As much as I listen to the piano version I never knew the lyrics. Wow!

Such a under rated performer. One of the greatest singers song writers ever.
He wasn't underrated at all. On the contrary, he was very well recognised as the talent he was, even by non-folk and -country fans.
What a great song , his memory remains with a brilliant voice
Wonderful voice. Emotional singer. Unforgettable artist.

There is likely not a better song ever written. And this guy was one of the very best. He left us too soon, and he is missed but not forgotten.
Discovering my heart's Love in my 6th decade gives me a unique perspective on the facets of Love. THIS is a song for my wedding, for the rest of my married years. Thank you, John.❤
My favorite song by John Denver💙
Totally blessed to have seen JD play live in concert five times.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
John was too gentle and kind for this world. God called him home.
John touched the hearts of people all over the world. He was passionate and sang with such sincerity. He knew how to express his feelings so deeply touched by catastrophes in the world and will live on in the hearts of people forever. Always my idol, a man with so much emotion and love of life. Truly truly missed. I loved the man and the music. Forever grateful for all that he did to make the world a better place. His legacy will continue to live on forever. Thank you John, I love you.

@@snook7100 Inolvidable John !!
@Mike McKay
Wasn't he a sodomite?
'God called him home'. ARE YOU SERIOUS ???
He did NOT OBEY the gospel of Jesus Christ. PERIOD.
He is in hell as we speak.
I listen at least once a week
Perhaps the greatest love song ever written, the multitude of feelings It evokes are timeless and should always be cherished.
Beautiful and profound. He could be talking of a lover, a parent or his adoring audience. A wise man who has experienced the ups and downs of love, and concluded that it is worth it.
YOU HAVE TO BE A ROMANTIC HUMAN BEING. I AM SURE YOU BLESS MANY PEOPLE. BLESSINGS TO YOU ALWAYS~~
I found John's music in college in the sixties. it gave solace, hope and comfort in a decade full of turbulence and uncertainty. My daughter was raised on his music, though it seems none of the love found its way into her heart or life. I treasure the times we sang so many of his songs while we drove many miles together. This song is really how i feel about my wife and the love we share. It's love that's kept us happily together for two decades now and we hope many more. Peace and love to all of you.
I'm almost 70 yrs old. I'm still playing the guitar. I love singing J.Denver's songs
I have always loved John Denver. He stirred emotions with his songs. He will be remembered forever because of his wonderful talent and beautiful songs. Rest in peace .
If you are still with us on Earth, I want to tell you that this song is such a beautiful song, because it makes one stop and think about all the things that love is. I played this song at my husband's funeral after a battle with cancer. Such a beautiful song and very heart rendering. If you are still with us love snd peace to you and my heart goes out to you. No worry or sorrow or pain is all that remains. God loves you.
I was at this concert and remember it very well it was one of the highlights of my life we missed you John
I'm not exception, like most, I have an opinion and my opinion is I just listened to one of the greatest songs every written, and performed. Not just the words, but the tune, them melody and all those other song technicalities. And John Denver is the one who sings it best. No apparent effort, it flows from his mouth right to your brain. I thank him for his lasting gift to the world.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Wishing you and yours some well-deserved downtime and a very happy new year to come. Cheers to health, happiness, and prosperity in 2021! Son of John Denver.
This goes out for my dad and my son Marc

To call this "Beautiful"... just isn't enough word❤

Tito jun from pasig city pinagbuhatan miss u love u i Remember when u play this Song in your quitar
Not only was he a great composer and guitarist , he was also a refined orater.
When my mother passed away unexpectedly, John Denver's music came to mind. True, it cleanses the soul. There's something about his songs that touches the soul. After listening to them, you feel a lot better. 🙏🌷❤💕
John Denver wrote the soundtrack to my life; I wept when he was killed in that airplane smash; Loosing my own son at a sweet tender age, and listening back to this, and hearing his words, takes me to a time and place, for me when life was still wonderous; Thank-you John for the magic, you poured into our hearts; life was magical, when you were with us; but, still your legacy lives on. and those who lived your experience, know the true joy and love, you shared with us; we were blessed!
I'm so sorry about the loss of your son; there is such pain in this life but John tried to ease our sorrow
Your name is hope. Don't loose it. Choose to find that magical and wondrous life again. That's perhaps your mission now on this planet. Believe in it. My heart is with you.
That is beautiful, I miss him too. One of a kind.
I hope you are at peace now...time does heal..
It was in the early 70's that I first heard this man and his music. As a New Zealander it was quite strange for me, so many of my friends mocked this choice of music, but in my heart it expressed what I felt , what I tried to express , to explain me.
50 years later, I have never found a better way to express myself.
I don't sing much anymore , not that is no longer important - just that nobody cares anymore -
I feel sorry for people who have not heard this song! I wish more folks had a chance to enjoy this masterpiece, this gift !
Aren't we blessed that God gave him such talent and he was able to share it with the world!!!!!
When John Denver died so did a gentler world, well, as far as music goes...The simple genre of folk music. Still miss seeing John Denver's Arbor Day and caring for the environment commercials, like him singing, "Plant a Tree." in the 70s and early 80s.
I remember😀
I do remember, I was in Dubai that time, I didn't go to work as I cried all day long....
Perhaps love is listening to John Denver and reminiscing about days gone by and the ones we loved.

Sem dúvida, esta interpretação é muito mais bonita que a do snr. Plácido Domingo.
We Love you back. Your still here with us. Never to be forgotten by your fans. To be Shared with the next generation.
And for generations to come. John's music is timeless!
Had this played at my husband's funeral, we both always loved it, the enigma that is 'Love.'
My sisters sung this at my wedding 39 years ago. The funeral comment does not feel right..
The loss of John Denver has left an empty hole in my heart. Perhaps love can fill it.
Tenho o vinil de Plácido Domingo cantando essa canção com o John. É de partir o coração...
MARAVILHOSO!!
Obrigada, John.
Está feliz onde está agora, cantando com os anjos🙏💔💖💖🇧🇷🇧🇷
Yes, that is an amazing version of the song!
Me too!!!
John Denver was my favorite. I can listen to his music and it transcends me to the most peaceful beautiful places I can ever imagine.
I felt bad that this audience laughed at a moment when he was trying to be sincere. 😢 It's no secret now that he suffered from depression.
RIP John......you are terribly missed & still LOVED. ❣️
Hello,how are you doing?
@@jamesmoore760 I'm fine.
Muzicas lindíssimas
Brilliant! ❤I love his songs from all of my heart ❤️
We lost so much when you passed away, John, yet you gave us so much...😢❤
The country charm, humility and genius of John Denver all wrapped up in this presentation. Magic. Had the pleasure of meeting him in Aspen as we waited for the school bus to drop off the kids. Down to earth guy.
Beautiful song. I love to hear you sing John. You have a beautiful voice. You left us way too soon.
God bliss you sir, I grew up to your music and it never grows old. Poetry from God. Thank you.
Wow, even sung live this blows me away. When he says "from the bottom of my heart" and then sings the song. What an amazing personality he had, a truly beautiful soul. I love this song all the more, every time I hear it, thank you John, from the bottom of my heart 💘
Wow ..
Love it
Imagine all the songs John wrote, this is not just a song, it's a poem, a book, a river of heavenly music tunes.....it's JOHN DENVER
I am going to have this played at my funeral, as I miss my darling husband and we will be together forever then
MAY GOD BLESS THE 2 OF U
What a lovely song to have played at a funeral.
Beautiful song.. its a dream ... johnny new that the time was close
Saw him summer of 74. Saratoga Performaning Arts Center. Lifetime of memories.
JohnDenvers voice no matter what song has me either happy, or teary. This song perhaps love definitely the latter. God bless you John, where ever you are 🎉
John Denver 1943 - 1997. Beautiful man and musician sorely missed.
Of German origin, he came to America and lived in the state of Denver.He loved the city so much that the rest was history.
John Denver the late great legend of Country music.
Thank you for the information.. It's only now that I learn his German origin..
He had German ancestors but he was born in Roswell New Mexico USA. He lived in the State of Colorado...Aspen not Denver. Yes he was a legend.
I didn’t know that John Denver wrote this song in the memory of his father. On 16 August 2022 I’ll be singing this song at my mother’s memorial service and dedicating it to her memory. Thank you for writing such a beautiful song, Mr Denver. Rest In Peace. Your legacy lives on.
He's just so entertaining, just him and his beautiful voice and guitar
one of the most amazing human beings to have graced this earth. We are fortunate to have lived at a time when he was here, to benefit from all his gifts of advocacy and his talents.
@Ms.Bottom Time
How right you are..
When l face the Good Lord and He would ask me what l did with my Time here on Earth..l'll say I spent a good portion of it listening to the music of John Denver
Bet his wives might not agree...
Ms.BottomTime me too 💓
You Asshole "Tuff Bud" why do you find it necessary to say something ignorant and Rude ?
Just in this Moment .j . Remember this Song
Beautiful Moment to found jt .y have his l.p White stupend songs.grade!!
I met John Denver in 1982 and have never met a more down to earth person. What a wonderful man.
A classic, memories of John Denver who has given me many happy hours of listening to his music....never forgotten ❤❤
Perhaps Love from the viewpoint of a romanticist is like magic. It's encompassing involves all the good things of what life has to offer.
A beautiful song from such a talented & gifted man. Gone too soon but his songs live on.
Hello Ruth
2019
One of the most unique voices in folk-country music. Boy! Can he hit a high register!
!him! love Love
Still love him after all these years he never got the recognition he deserved
This is a perfect, beautifully written song. And he delivers it perfectly. There are great covers of it as well with a full orchestra that are amazing as well.
