In a career that has spanned more than two decades, John Denver earned international acclaim as a songwriter, performer, actor and humanitarian. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. began his career in the 1960s as an aspiring folk musician in the clubs of Los Angeles. The son of a U.S. Air Force officer, John took his performing name from the premier Rocky Mountain city in the state where he eventually made his home. Denver's first major break came when he was chosen from 250 other hopefuls as lead singer for the popular Mitchell Trio, with whom he sang for two years. His songwriting skills were noted when Peter, Paul and Mary recorded his "Leaving On A Jet Plane," which became their first Number One hit.

He passed away even before I was thought about...T-T it's soooo mellow and heartwrenching, I cry everytime I hear this number...this is surely going to be at my wedding dance esp the sax part... his voice is heaven <3 <3 <3 I love this song | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Darcy Farrow performed by John Denver This is one of my favorite songs. After all of these years of hearing it, I decided to look up the lyrics and found that I was wrong about a number of the words. John Denver sang this song clearly but, the words can be misunderstood. Good bye John, too bad I won't see you in Heaven. What Friends We Could've Been | Reviewer: Justin ------ About artist/band John Denver John Denver is my all time favorite artist. Not only was he talented as a singer/songwriter/guitarist, he was such a healthy influence on all of humanity. He cared deeply about the environment, he helped people and his music saved people. I've read so much about him and I think "Wow, he and I would have gotten along famously". I listen to his music every day, it eases my mind and my heart. So tragically he was called home at 53...but his music and his spirit will always be here. Grandma's Feather Bed | Reviewer: Tim ------ About the song Grandma’s Feather Bed performed by John Denver I grew up with this "bouncy" song as a kid, loving especially the whispered part about the gal down the road. Not until I read the lyrics, though, did I understand all the words to the chorus, which is good since I would not have known what a bolt or tick was when it came to making a feather bed. As an adult the song represents more than just a childhood memory, however. John Denver's music became immortalized in my mind and heart the day he died in that plane crash. Ever since then, the songs he sang - always with a smile, doing what he loved to do most - became songs that stood for the best in love, and romance, family and friendship. He shared his life with us, his fans for a very brief time, but left behind a legacy that most men never achive in two lifetimes. I won't be surpised, if when we get to heaven, we will see John Denver playing music while sitting in the middle of a great big feather bed. : ) | Reviewer: Space Monkey ------ About the song Grandma’s Feather Bed performed by John Denver Oh such a lovely bouncy song about childhood in the American South back in the day! lol Got this in my John Denver boxset and it's a lot of fun esp. the part about 8 kids, 4 dogs & the piggy they stole from the shed! Gotta love that piggy... : D Great song that should be listened to over and over again. : ) *sniff sniff* | Reviewer: keiths31 ------ About the song The Christmas Wish performed by John Denver This song is just amazing. The version I grew up with is the one by the Irish Rovers from their album "It Was a Night Like This". My mother would play this album every Christmas Eve. This is my favourite Christmas song of all time. So many memories... words cannot express how much you mean to me | Reviewer: tumelo ka-siziba ------ About the song Leaving On A Jet Plane performed by John Denver it only reminds me of my first love,though we parted ways.wherever you are sweetheart you know i'll always love you This is truly a beautiful song! | Reviewer: Coolguy ------ About the song The Christmas Wish performed by John Denver This song almost almost makes me cry every time I hear it. Four starz! Five! As many as there can be! Amazing | Reviewer: rica ------ About the song Perhaps Love performed by John Denver I like the song very much. It tells about different meanings of love to people. The lyrics is nice. The music is calm. I miss my bf whenever I listens to the song. Miss you Keth J. V. This song is simply beautiful... | Reviewer: Luigifan ------ About the song Annie's Song performed by John Denver This song is called the greatest love song of all time for good reason... the lyrics are simply heart-warming on a deeply profound level. (Sure, they seem just a tad overly sensual, but the song itself is so amazing that I don't really mind.) The imagery is very deep, and the music is serene and beautiful. It's no wonder that this song is played at weddings so often!!! (By the way, one of my major OCs is named Annie... this song had nothing to do with me coming up with the name, but it's an interesting coincidence nonetheless.) A great duet | Reviewer: Chau-Iou Jeng ------ About the song Perhaps Love performed by John Denver A great song was performed by a great duet. Domingo and Denver just simply complement each other to enrich the life of the song. It is one of my favorite songs since my study in Taipei and US, and then is with my career all the way from Bay Area to Beijing. Whats the whisper? | Reviewer: Owen ------ About the song Grandma’s Feather Bed performed by John Denver Very good, but you missed the bit where he whisperes something after saying 'I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road...' for the second time. What does he whisper? Ever-lasting song | Reviewer: Katherine ------ About the song Perhaps Love performed by John Denver I sang this song when I joined a singing contest with my fellow high school classmates. Everytime we pracitsed singing this song, we all became emotional, seems like it's telling us a love story. Till now, it's on the top of my favorite songs list. perhaps love | Reviewer: ellaine estrada ------ About the song Perhaps Love performed by John Denver i love this song as far as i can remember... when i was a little girl my dad always sings this song to me... it became our theme song. Im living away from him since elementary and only throught this sone i really could feel his love to me even though i grew up without him near me. I still love my dad so much. no regrets. perhaps its because of too much love that my dad gave to me and i find a resting place inside his heart eventhough we're apart. amsterdam | Reviewer: b.Austin ------ About the song Amsterdam performed by John Denver heard this when i was about 8 or 9,,mum had been given the evening with john denver lp and i listened to ol faves but one stood out and it was amsterdam,,,,as my mums dying now,,i cling to this memorie of how we used to listen to songs like his and other western writers but this song has emotion beyond even i felt befoe,,,maybe its the tune or maybe its th words but its always been one of my favourite songs of this now past away singer...the world misses such a talent... Big fan | Reviewer: Sally ------ About the song Amazon (Let This Be A Voice) performed by John Denver This is what I believe is John Denver's finest song. I highly encourage everyone to listen to it in the Wildlife Concert arrangement. It's incredibly stirring and inspiring! Simply beautiful | Reviewer: rmw ------ About the song Perhaps Love performed by John Denver This song exemplifies the brilliance that was John Denver. The lyrics, the poetry, the melody. And for so many mesmerized listeners, the special meaning this song (and so, so many more) holds for each of us. Denver was a treasure who really never got his due, mainly becuase he was caught in between pop and country. For those of us who like his works, however, there will never be another "Country Boy" like John. clse | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Perhaps Love performed by John Denver I found a cd by John Denver is my recently deceased father's music collecton. I had never heard the song before and cannot stop listening to it. It has embedded itself under my skin. I would like to know when he wrote the song and has any other performers recorded it. thank you John Denver, may you rest in peace. this song is so cool | Reviewer: isso ------ About the song Leaving On A Jet Plane performed by John Denver i liked this song so much even when i only saw the lyrics..with the music it's perfect.. in the movie "Armageddon" A.J(Ben Affleck) and the others of the team sing this song while they are leaving...
