It broke my heart when John Denver died. He was a talented artist and a kind, caring human being, and his "Annie's Song" is one of the most beautiful love songs out there. Give a listen to "Rocky Mountain High" and hear how someone can encounter the divine in nature.
He and Annie had had a fight and he went off and wrote this song for her. On a late nite show he talked about how he hugged her so tight he broke her ribs.
Just so you know. That song was written on a ski lift in about 10 min. He wrote the song shortly after Annie and John went through a difficult time in their marriage. John plays guitar mainly,also piano.
This song always makes me think of my Grandma. She used to play this song on vinyl every day in the 70s-80s when she cleaned houses. Brings a tear to my eye, miss her so much. Beautiful song.
I love John Denver so much and this song makes me cry every time I hear it. John Denver was a poet and I highly recommend Rocky Mountain High for more beautiful lyrics. I was lucky enough to experience this kind of love, and before my boyfriend died he used to play it for me. Even now I know he still loves me this way and I still love him and I'm looking forward to seeing him again. 💚
He wrote this song in 10 minutes on a ski lift in Aspen after an argument with his wife, Annie. An amazing guy. His music changed my life, moving from Ohio to the Rocky Mountains of Idaho in 1980....where my wife and I live in a log home high in the mountains on a 21 acre ranch. I had the pleasure of meeting John back stage in Cerritos, CA 5 months before he tragically passed.....He is missed!!!
The part where he sings "let me love you again" refers to his wife and him having just come together again after a turbulent time in their romance. His feelings for her and the landscape around him filled up his senses and he wrote the song in his head on the ski lift going up the mountain. A lot of his songs are about their up and down relationship. "Leaving on a jet plane" is an obvious one. Unfortunately their relationship did not last, but his love songs will last forever.
He and Annie adopted two children. Shortly after they adopted their first child, Zac, they got one of those memory books where you record various things from the day, week, month, and/or first year of your child. What was the price of a gallon of milk, a gallon of gas, who was the president, and so forth. One of the entries was for the "Number One Song in the Country" during the week the baby was born. He had one of his assistants trace that information down. The number one song the week Zac was born was, "Annie's Song". One other note, when he was the special guest for one of the Miss Universe pageants (it was held in Miami that year, I believe), he sang "Annie's Song" for/to the five finalists. During the part where he hums in the middle of the song, on this night he sang in Spanish. It was pretty cool.
Hi, I'm from México City, and when a was a child I start seeing John Denver's christmas specials and Muppets shows where he participated in, and I enjoyed his music. And when I heard this song I really love it, even on this days I still enjoying it, and make me cry the beautiful love he profess for her in it
John Denver really gives you the feelies. His voice is so smooth and clear. His lyrics are amazing. I was devastated when he died. It really hit me hard.l. I'm glad you heard this song.
I grew up in a log cabin in the 70's on 20 acres of woods. My parents played John Denver basically on a loop. I can still sing most of his songs lol. If you want a short one but a good one that almost nobody knows about, check out The Eagle And The Hawk. (Not live, do studio version)
John played 6 and 12 string guitar, usually 12 string on Annies song, electric guitar, piano, fiddle, mandolin. He mainly played his ccoustic guitars or piano in concert, electric in concert for Johnny B. Good. There is a concert in Japan where plays fiddle on Thank God I'm A Country Boy. Also a TV show he did, JD And The Mountains where John plays mandolin while Itzhak Perlman plays violin (fiddle) on a bluegrass piece. And John takes him fishing lol.
Devin, I have this on my playlist this is one of the most romantic love songs ever written in my opinion. You must do a song called if by a group called bread yes I said bread like a slice of bread lol
Check out John and Mama Cass singing leaving on a jet plane on the midnight special TV show. They harmonize beautifully together. Also, John was a world class Guitar player.
If you want to hear another great love song by John, the song ‘For You’, written for his second wife, Cassie, is on his ‘wildlife Concert’ album from 1995. This is a live album and showcases how great he was singing live. He even plays the piano on this song. I was blessed to see John in person 16 times over the years and found each of his concerts to be an amazing spiritual experience, with a vibration of unconditional love and compassion he shared with the audiences. I still listen to John’s music every day, to connect with what is really important in life; but in truth, you don’t just listen to John Denver, you experience him with your whole heart and soul. I loved watching your reaction here and I’m sure you will love digging into his amazing catalog of heartfelt songs.
Loved this reaction! One of his best songs and one of my favorite. He wrote this for his wife after they had a fight. It came to him as he was on a ski lift. He’s playing the guitar and does in all his songs. One of the most beautiful love songs ever!
John Denver is a poet. His words in the song express his deep love for the persons he dearly love. If the melody in this song does not move you, the lyrics will blow you away. The part when the humming comes blended by stringed violin full orchestra-like accompaniment, the feeling is just heavenly.
Devin, I don't know if you were aware of it, but John was actually flying the plane that crashed and killed him. The report was that the plane started having engine trouble and it's always broken my heart what he may have went through. 💔 😪
Had the privilege to see him in concert in my hometown of cork Ireland 🇮🇪 in 1986 what a voice and such a gentleman I thank god I got to see live in concert love your reaction ❤
Sunshine on My Shoulders, Back Home Again, Rocky Mountain High, Poems Prayers and Promises, Sweet Surrender, Starwood in Aspen, Eclipse, Paradise, Follow Me, The Eagle and the Hawk, and just so, so many more are some of his songs. They are all wonderful and he is sorely missed. His songs brought peace and love in a time of national turmoil and they are highly relevant today.
This was the song my mom walked down the aisle to at her wedding, and one of the songs we played at her funeral. 💔 she loved singing John Denver around a bonfire, miss you Mama
This song was written in 10 minutes while he was on a ski lift in Aspen Colorado. I had this song played at my wedding, and it still holds true today. It is in my opinion the greatest love song ever written. The man is truly missed.
Shortly before John passed, he did the Wildlife Concert. His performance of this song there is possibly the best rendition of it ever, by far better than the original recording. You would enjoy watching it because you would get to see the man actually perform it. Great song and reaction.
Enjoyed your video. This song was my beautiful soul mates and I song. After 20 years together, and the day after our anniversary, my beloved really did die in my arms after a terrible tragedy. My heart is broken, and when I hear this song, the tears flow which I cannot stop. You are so right to treasure every moment you have, because it can be taken away so quickly. Thank for listening to this song. It means a lot to many people. With respect Nathan
John wrote Annie's Song in 10 minutes on a ski lift in Aspen. John could play the 6 and 12 string guitar, the electric guitar, the fiddle. John and Annie divorced in1982 but remained good friends. Annie never remarried.
An intimate, moving song about married love would probably not fly in popular music today (maybe in country music). John wrote this song after a fight with his then-wife, Annie Martel. To hear a grown man pour out his heart about how much his wife means to him and comparing her to the beauty he finds in nature would get laughed at today, but this was a huge Number One for Denver and people could relate to it.
There’s not a single song of his that isn’t incredible. I travelled a lot a few years ago and his voice was like my best friend on those long drives. God bless him. This will be the first dance song at my wedding. I’ve never heard LOVE described in a more beautiful and accurate way ❤❤
And then in 1982 Annie divorced him when he admitted to multiple episodes of infidelity so then he married Australian actress Cassandra Delaney they had a daughter then a $3.3 million divorce great singer song writer not so good husband peace out.
He wrote this in 10 minutes after their first separation and at the start of the breakdown of their marriage. He truly loved her and she loved him but his determination to get his music out there meant that their marriage couldn't survive. Sadly, they were going to try again when he was killed in the plane crash.
Annie’s Song was written while he took a ski lift to the top of a mountain, in TEN MINUTES! He and Annie had been arguing, and he wrote this masterpiece for her. Check out Rocky Mountain High, Calypso, Take Me Home Country Roads, Sweet Surender, and the infamous Thank God I’m a Country Boy! You will be a permanent convert! ❤️
John! John's voice is so soothing! He could calm the savage beast! My all time favorite song is My Sweet Lady. Then Sunshine On My Shoulders. For a lighter side Thank God I'm A Country Boy! John's a good rabbit hole to explore! Great reaction!
Thanks, Devin - JD was a great songwriter and a great performer - if you have time & inclination, his live performer with Cass Elliot -- where she joked about having written "Leaving on a Jet Plane" -- which, JD wrote, of course -- (1972 - Midnight Special - waaay before your time, lol) - but it was meant to promote voting in young people.. th-cam.com/video/NKdknYaSHgE/w-d-xo.html
Love John he wrote this after a fight with his wife, pure poetry. You should check out his movie with Goerge Burns " Oh God". Merry Christmas and Enjoy
John Denver is my most favorite singer! There are so few songs that aren't good! Other songs to react to: "Rocky Mountain High" (which I just learned on my guitar!), "Farewell Andromeda", "Sunshine On My Shoulders", "Shanghai Breezes", "Grandma's Feather Bed", "Matthew", "Leavin' on a Jet Plane", "This Old Guitar" and "Poems, Prayers, and Promises" which is my favorite!
I was in middle school when my brother’s cancer returned in his bones. He was in his second year of university, and his girlfriend, whom he had been dating since right before his brain cancer diagnosis, was starting university at the same institution. They both returned home to face his treatment. At the time, it was thought he had only months, so they wanted to marry earlier than they were planning, to have as much time together as possible. My brother’s girlfriend was under the age of consent in our state (she graduated high school a year early,) so her parents would have to agree, but my brother and his girlfriend would require their consent anyway. As you can imagine, they consented, so a rushed wedding occurred in the minister’s home. My brother wore his best suit, and his girlfriend had already picked up her wedding gown, so I was in one of the bedrooms with her, helping her get ready. I ended up being her maid of honor that day, since the wedding happened so fast. I walked ahead of her down the hall, to where my brother and minister stood, as Annie’s Song played.
Such a heartfelt song from John Denver, so beautiful. He also sang with Cass Elliott, the song was called 'I'm leaving on a jet plane' - sadly he died in a plane after that. We all miss him dearly RIP John 💔💔
Devin. Thank you. My wife of 20 years (my love) died in a motor vehicle accident when a drunk driver hit her and killed her and my 5 year old daughter. This was my daughter’s (and soon thereafter my wife and my) favorite song. Just don’t know what to say. Thank you
That's him playing the guitar....not many realize he was a virtuoso on the twelve string acoustic guitar. I'm so fortunate to have met him after a concert in Cerritos, CA. in 1997 5 months before his untimely death. I got to shake his hand and thank him for changing my life. I grew up in crap hole, Cleveland, Ohio. The river there, the Cuyahoga was so polluted, it caught on fire. Today, Cleveland is rated as one of the top ten dangerous cities in America to live in. I graduated from college and moved west to Boise, Idaho and now live on a ranch high in the Rocky Mountains in a log home. It's almost August 2023 and we will soon be watching the Perseid Meteor showers. High up in the Rockies, there are no city lights to obstruct this Arial phenomena....it's what he wrote about in his masterpiece, ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH......"I've seen it rain'n fire in the sky." His music changed the trajectory of my life and I've never looked back......again, like in ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH......"He was born in the summer of his 27th year, comin' home to a place he'd never been before." What a wonderful life that Jesus and John's music have given me....grateful can't describe my feelings.
Thank you! John Denver has been a part of my life, everyday, since 1971. I believe you would love "Rocky Mountain High" and "Sweet Surrender.' I will be out here waiting patiently for your next John Denver reaction. He is worth the wait. God Bless. P.S. His song MATTHEW is a much overlooked, underplayed song that tells of love, friendship, and the bible as the foundation of what gets us through the hardest times.
I sing this to my partner _constantly!_ 😃🥰❤️ John Denver stars in a movie that you, of all people, _need_ to see! It's called _'Oh, God!'_ & it changed my life! You can rent it at th-cam.com/video/CZcasciqFbY/w-d-xo.html, right here on TH-cam! 🙏🏻🥰❤️
You should check out John Denver and Cass Elliot singing I’m Leaving On A Jet Plane. If you want the live performance do the one on The Midnight Special tv show.

One of the most beautiful, romantic songs ever written. Even after more than 40 years listening, I've never tired of it. Thanks for sharing this one!
👍👍👍👍❤❤

I was a big fan of his, he was amazing. It broke my heart too. I felt like the world lost a bright light that day
As a pilot, he died doing what he loved, how he lived his life.
This song is an instant classic. RIP John.
👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
Me too
This is what John Denver was like. His music, most of his songs are so emotional. Love and miss him. RIP
He wrote this song for his wife. His voice is truly magical. He makes you feel.
Thank you and God bless.
and I believe he loved her til the day he died
@@threekidzmom04 I believe that too.
He and Annie had had a fight and he went off and wrote this song for her. On a late nite show he talked about how he hugged her so tight he broke her ribs.
Just so you know. That song was written on a ski lift in about 10 min. He wrote the song shortly after Annie and John went through a difficult time in their marriage. John plays guitar mainly,also piano.
They don't write'm like this anymore! It's definitely a lost art! What a beautiful visual.
he is the one playing the guitar. he wrote the song to his wife after an argument. beautiful
He wrote this song for his wife, in his head, in ten minutes, while out skiing in Colorado. One of the very few "perfect" love songs.
I love John Denver's voice,he had so much emotion in his songs and they were all soothing. "Rocky Mountain High from 1972 is a beautiful ballad. ❤
This song always makes me think of my Grandma. She used to play this song on vinyl every day in the 70s-80s when she cleaned houses. Brings a tear to my eye, miss her so much. Beautiful song.
Stunningly beautiful song.
One of the purest male voices I've ever heard.
Picture it, America, Summer 1974 and playing on the radio "Annie's Song." Timeless 🤗 ⚾
I love John Denver so much and this song makes me cry every time I hear it. John Denver was a poet and I highly recommend Rocky Mountain High for more beautiful lyrics.
I was lucky enough to experience this kind of love, and before my boyfriend died he used to play it for me. Even now I know he still loves me this way and I still love him and I'm looking forward to seeing him again. 💚

He's playing. I met him and he is an amazing guitar player and vocalist. Mostly, he was a good person.
I grew up in a log cabin in the 70's on 20 acres of woods. My parents played John Denver basically on a loop. I can still sing most of his songs lol. If you want a short one but a good one that almost nobody knows about, check out The Eagle And The Hawk. (Not live, do studio version)
great song hope he does the eagle and the hawk more people need ot hear it
The Eagle And The Hawk has been my fav JD song since I was a little girl in the 70’s, listening to my older brothers’ Aerie album.
An amazing song. One of my favorites.
John Denver was amazing, I am so happily married and God is good.
John played 6 and 12 string guitar, usually 12 string on Annies song, electric guitar, piano, fiddle, mandolin. He mainly played his ccoustic guitars or piano in concert, electric in concert for Johnny B. Good. There is a concert in Japan where plays fiddle on Thank God I'm A Country Boy.

I saw this on a bumper sticker years ago: It's not about finding the right person. It's about being the right person. Amen.
That was a love song/ballad.
Devin, I have this on my playlist this is one of the most romantic love songs ever written in my opinion. You must do a song called if by a group called bread yes I said bread like a slice of bread lol
One of the greatest love songs ever written.
Check out John and Mama Cass singing leaving on a jet plane on the midnight special TV show. They harmonize beautifully together. Also, John was a world class Guitar player.
He and Julie Andrews singing Edelweiss was very beautiful too.
He’s playing the guitar and singing.
There is a song about John Denver's uncle - the song is called Matthew. Beautiful song. John plays acoustic guitar.

Spot on. Lucky you got to see him.
Loved this reaction! One of his best songs and one of my favorite. He wrote this for his wife after they had a fight. It came to him as he was on a ski lift. He’s playing the guitar and does in all his songs. One of the most beautiful love songs ever!
One of the most beautifull love songs ever written in my opinion ❤
They don't write songs like this anymore and that too bad, we could sure use some love being expressed these days.
Very incredible guitarist and composer, singer, songwriter and keyboardist
John Denver is poetry put to music ........his music , such as this , is autobiographical ......His tune : Calypso is a real keeper ...
John Denver is a poet. His words in the song express his deep love for the persons he dearly love. If the melody in this song does not move you, the lyrics will blow you away. The part when the humming comes blended by stringed violin full orchestra-like accompaniment, the feeling is just heavenly.
There are a handful of songs I can't perform because I get too choked up to sing, and Annie's Song is one of them.
JOHN DENVER "CALYPSO"...NUFF SAID.
Has to be one of the most romantic songs ever! The sound just fills your ears and your heart at the same time! Loved it!
Devin, I don't know if you were aware of it, but John was actually flying the plane that crashed and killed him. The report was that the plane started having engine trouble and it's always broken my heart what he may have went through. 💔 😪
Had the privilege to see him in concert in my hometown of cork Ireland 🇮🇪 in 1986 what a voice and such a gentleman I thank god I got to see live in concert love your reaction ❤
Sunshine on My Shoulders, Back Home Again, Rocky Mountain High, Poems Prayers and Promises, Sweet Surrender, Starwood in Aspen, Eclipse, Paradise, Follow Me, The Eagle and the Hawk, and just so, so many more are some of his songs. They are all wonderful and he is sorely missed. His songs brought peace and love in a time of national turmoil and they are highly relevant today.
Check out country roads and Rocky Mountain high
This was the song my mom walked down the aisle to at her wedding, and one of the songs we played at her funeral. 💔 she loved singing John Denver around a bonfire, miss you Mama
I believe John Denver played the guitar
Check out the song
Country Roads
“Poems, Prayers, and Promises,” was one of his favorite songs that he wrote.
This song was written in 10 minutes while he was on a ski lift in Aspen Colorado. I had this song played at my wedding, and it still holds true today. It is in my opinion the greatest love song ever written. The man is truly missed.
John Denver singing is one of the most beautiful sounds you will ever hear.
Shortly before John passed, he did the Wildlife Concert. His performance of this song there is possibly the best rendition of it ever, by far better than the original recording. You would enjoy watching it because you would get to see the man actually perform it. Great song and reaction.
Watch his outdoor special and you can see him sing it live with band. It's wonderful 😊
He and his wife got into an argument and he wrote this on a 15 minute ski lift ride! Super talented guy ♥️
Somebody's already told you, I'm sure, but he's playing the guitar.
Enjoyed your video. This song was my beautiful soul mates and I song. After 20 years together, and the day after our anniversary, my beloved really did die in my arms after a terrible tragedy. My heart is broken, and when I hear this song, the tears flow which I cannot stop. You are so right to treasure every moment you have, because it can be taken away so quickly. Thank for listening to this song. It means a lot to many people. With respect Nathan
I believe John played 6 and 12 string guitars, harmonica, banjo, I'm not sure if he played Dobro or dulcimer.
Struggling to keep emotions in check
Violins kick in....
Listener gives up
John wrote Annie's Song in 10 minutes on a ski lift in Aspen. John could play the 6 and 12 string guitar, the electric guitar, the fiddle. John and Annie divorced in1982 but remained good friends. Annie never remarried.
An intimate, moving song about married love would probably not fly in popular music today (maybe in country music). John wrote this song after a fight with his then-wife, Annie Martel. To hear a grown man pour out his heart about how much his wife means to him and comparing her to the beauty he finds in nature would get laughed at today, but this was a huge Number One for Denver and people could relate to it.
It’s such a beautiful song.
A glorious song, lovely lyrics! Yes Annie was his wife and they split after this song. I’d be hard pressed to leave a man who wrote this about me!
There’s not a single song of his that isn’t incredible. I travelled a lot a few years ago and his voice was like my best friend on those long drives. God bless him. This will be the first dance song at my wedding. I’ve never heard LOVE described in a more beautiful and accurate way ❤❤
What a fabulous voice....and a great talent that left us too early God Bless!
I would like a human being like he was in the bottom of his heart to rule the world in this sad and dark era.
This is one of my favourite songs for years. And it probably always will be. It's just too beautiful.
Along with his voice, the instrumentation is perfection. Those violins!
And then in 1982 Annie divorced him when he admitted to multiple episodes of infidelity so then he married Australian actress Cassandra Delaney they had a daughter then a $3.3 million divorce great singer song writer not so good husband peace out.
Annie was his wife, they were having problems and he wrote this to tell her he loved her and wanted her back, didn't happen.
😢
He wrote this in 10 minutes after their first separation and at the start of the breakdown of their marriage. He truly loved her and she loved him but his determination to get his music out there meant that their marriage couldn't survive. Sadly, they were going to try again when he was killed in the plane crash.
Annie’s Song was written while he took a ski lift to the top of a mountain, in TEN MINUTES! He and Annie had been arguing, and he wrote this masterpiece for her. Check out Rocky Mountain High, Calypso, Take Me Home Country Roads, Sweet Surender, and the infamous Thank God I’m a Country Boy! You will be a permanent convert! ❤️
He died in a plane crash
Never got over losing Annie
She's his wife
John! John's voice is so soothing! He could calm the savage beast!
My all time favorite song is My Sweet Lady.
Then Sunshine On My Shoulders.
For a lighter side
Thank God I'm A Country Boy!
John's a good rabbit hole to explore!
Great reaction!
Yes,that's John on guitar.
Beautiful song for his wife and sadly missed also
Thanks, Devin - JD was a great songwriter and a great performer - if you have time & inclination, his live performer with Cass Elliot -- where she joked about having written "Leaving on a Jet Plane" -- which, JD wrote, of course -- (1972 - Midnight Special - waaay before your time, lol) - but it was meant to promote voting in young people.. th-cam.com/video/NKdknYaSHgE/w-d-xo.html
Love John he wrote this after a fight with his wife, pure poetry. You should check out his movie with Goerge Burns " Oh God". Merry Christmas and Enjoy
His voice is so clear and beautiful. Great reaction.
John Denver is my most favorite singer! There are so few songs that aren't good! Other songs to react to: "Rocky Mountain High" (which I just learned on my guitar!), "Farewell Andromeda", "Sunshine On My Shoulders", "Shanghai Breezes", "Grandma's Feather Bed", "Matthew", "Leavin' on a Jet Plane", "This Old Guitar" and "Poems, Prayers, and Promises" which is my favorite!

Love John Denver - ‘Rocky Mountain High’. Also Glen Campbell ‘Galveston’ or Wichita Lineman’. Great singer/songwriters and musicians….
He wrote so many beautiful songs but my 2 favorites are "The Wings That Fly Us Home" and "Follow Me".
Pure Liebe. Gänsehaut auf allen Ebenen❤
John graduated from one of the high school's that I went to but graduated about a decade or so before I did.
John was playing and singing.
If you love John Denver...check out Dan Fogelberg...my favorite is called. STARS. HOWEVER BOTH WHERE UNIQUE
Great reaction Please do THANK GOD IM A COUNTRY BOY LIVE by John Denver !!
He played while singing. For his best watch ALL his live songs in the Wildlife Concert. Perfection..
His given name was Henry John Deutschendorf, Jr., in 1943, not in the mountains of Colorado but in Roswell, New Mexico.
You would love his duet with Olivia Newton-John called Fly Away.......
Think of the descriptions, it's lovemaking. ❤
Try " Rocky Mountain High" and "Looking For Space" - 2 songs by John that are my Favorites!
Next......"Rocky Mountain High". 💔🖤❤
Such a heartfelt song from John Denver, so beautiful. He also sang with Cass Elliott, the song was called 'I'm leaving on a jet plane' - sadly he died in a plane after that. We all miss him dearly RIP John 💔💔
Devin. Thank you. My wife of 20 years (my love) died in a motor vehicle accident when a drunk driver hit her and killed her and my 5 year old daughter. This was my daughter’s (and soon thereafter my wife and my) favorite song. Just don’t know what to say. Thank you
Since you like this song, you should react to "For You" from the Wildlife Concert. It is simply the most beautiful love song I have ever heard.
31 years, 8 kids, 8 grandchildren and the hubs and I are still solid. Love is beautiful and when you find your soulmate ❤ you are truly blessed.
That's him playing the guitar....not many realize he was a virtuoso on the twelve string acoustic guitar. I'm so fortunate to have met him after a concert in Cerritos, CA. in 1997 5 months before his untimely death. I got to shake his hand and thank him for changing my life. I grew up in crap hole, Cleveland, Ohio. The river there, the Cuyahoga was so polluted, it caught on fire. Today, Cleveland is rated as one of the top ten dangerous cities in America to live in.
I graduated from college and moved west to Boise, Idaho and now live on a ranch high in the Rocky Mountains in a log home. It's almost August 2023 and we will soon be watching the Perseid Meteor showers. High up in the Rockies, there are no city lights to obstruct this Arial phenomena....it's what he wrote about in his masterpiece, ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH......"I've seen it rain'n fire in the sky."
His music changed the trajectory of my life and I've never looked back......again, like in ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH......"He was born in the summer of his 27th year, comin' home to a place he'd never been before." What a wonderful life that Jesus and John's music have given me....grateful can't describe my feelings.
Great reaction!
You should listen to his "Rocky Mountain High" - great song
Thank you! John Denver has been a part of my life, everyday, since 1971. I believe you would love "Rocky Mountain High" and "Sweet Surrender.' I will be out here waiting patiently for your next John Denver reaction. He is worth the wait. God Bless.
P.S. His song MATTHEW is a much overlooked, underplayed song that tells of love, friendship, and the bible as the foundation of what gets us through the hardest times.
I sing this to my partner _constantly!_ 😃🥰❤️
John Denver stars in a movie that you, of all people, _need_ to see! It's called _'Oh, God!'_ & it changed my life! You can rent it at th-cam.com/video/CZcasciqFbY/w-d-xo.html, right here on TH-cam! 🙏🏻🥰❤️
Great somg...But he dumped Annie a couple years later.
You should check out John Denver and Cass Elliot singing I’m Leaving On A Jet Plane. If you want the live performance do the one on The Midnight Special tv show.
