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.

I really loved hearing it again and will let my children listen to it too, hopefully another generation of John Denver fans to follow. a funny connection... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Darcy Farrow performed by John Denver i grew up on john denver, who is 100% responsible for me singing to this very day. i knew this song from childhood, on my mom's scratched lp, which i have today. back in 99 i was in a crazy caravan of artists out to the nevada desert for that year's burningman festival. the wastleand started showing the signs that told me i was in the carson valley, on a plain, crossing the truckee river, signs directing me to virginia city and to yerrington. i swear that through my tears i could see darcy riding out there in the distance. i scanned the lanscape to discern just where it was that the hillside sloped just enough to make the walker stumble into a run... and i knew i was in the very cradle of this sweet sweet song.... Stout performance | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Sunshine On My Shoulders performed by John Denver SOMS is a powerful ballad that truly catches John at his best. His playing and singing is as pure on this track as at any other time in his brilliant career. It is truly a shame that this, and so many other of his songs go unheard and unplayed because he can't be inserted into a particular genre. All Time Great | Reviewer: Donald Mtuwa ------ About the song Country Roads performed by John Denver Wherever Country music will be played, this song will always be a hit. The best thing about country music is that the older it gets the best it becomes. It is just vintage; it matures with time. Mr Denver, this is an all time great. The song is just natural, and country. A country boy No Place Like Home | Reviewer: Daisy ------ About the song Back Home Again performed by John Denver My husband and I love the music of John Denver.

MissDasilee73 nice to be able to print just the lyrics! | Reviewer: Robin ------ About the song City of New Orleans performed by John Denver I just wanted to thank you for the way you have your site set up that you can print just the lyrics instead of using all your ink on everything else you really don't need.

Robin I Watch You Sleeping | Reviewer: Anon ------ About the song I Watch You Sleeping performed by John Denver I first heard this song just after my daughter's birth - she was 11 weeks premature and the words summed up exactly what I was thinking all those hours I spent sat next to her incubator watching her sleep. I still well up whenever I hear this song love endures | Reviewer: Barb Ward ------ About the song Perhaps Love performed by John Denver I picked up a John Denver songbook in my local library recently and when I came across this beautiful song I was reminded of how much I have always loved it. I played the track a couple of times then thought how much my dad on the other side of Australia would love it. He stills painfully misses mum after 13 years, so I've decided to send him my CDs. The words are powerful and moving. John must have been a wonderful man. After my 30 year marriage ended in 2000, it was "Sweet Surrender" which helped me through. Universal song | Reviewer: Su ------ About the song The Wings That Fly Us Home performed by John Denver I was moved by this song the first time I heard it on the Spirit album. For me, its however we believe are special, we really all are one. The song also includes brother to brother (and sister implied) and concludes with a poweful a strong, vital statement that our spirituality is univeral, regardless of faith we practice. We are one. We all walk a road to discovery, and it's better if need not walk alone. It's an amazing song. John Denver of the Best Ever | Reviewer: Michael Bowen ------ About the album It's About Time performed by John Denver This album showcases John's spirituality...his love of mankind and nature...and why he thought best that we should co-exist in harmony...We all had "that dream about dying"...in one form or another. One of my favourites forever...I miss him so much...but his music warms me in my sorrow! Love to all! the box | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Box performed by John Denver I listened to this song as a child with my uncle. I am 45 and this song can still touch my heart and bring a tear to my eye. I wish everyone in world who is at war could read these words and stop the war. One of Denver's Best | Reviewer: James Dismukes ------ About the song Summer performed by John Denver This is one of the most powerful and beautiful songs penned by John Denver. The version on 'An Evening With John Denver' (live album) is perhaps the best I've heard. Peace John, your legacy lives on in your music... Triumph of faith over disaster | Reviewer: Peter Overton ------ About the song Matthew performed by John Denver Until now I had not realised that this song was written by John Denver's uncle Dean. It is really one of the most poignant of all JD's songs. For anyone with their roots in farming and the soil, this sad but triumphant ballad strikes to the very heart. I have met people like Uncle Matthew in communities all over the world - people whose religious outlook on life, and enjoyment of simple pleasures, form the bedrock of our civilisation. Anyone who thinks they are more important than the next man, sophisticated, above the crowd, then sing this song and remember that no prince, king or president can rise above the lowliest amongst us when faced with great adversity. A beautiful simple ballad and one of the best amongst many fine songs produced by JD Flying For Me | Reviewer: Steve ------ About the song Flying For Me performed by John Denver This song has a lot of meaning to me being an aviator myself. I cherish John Denver's music and I also celebrate his life and his shared joy for flying. Thank you Mr. Denver for your music and I know that your spirit will forever remain free as the soaring eagle. dedicated listener | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Annie's Song performed by John Denver The comparisons are so vivid. I grew up listening to John Denver because that was the music our family listened to. He writes songs for all occasions. When I need to use a song for a presentation, I always try to find the song sung by John Denver any advice would be awesome | Reviewer: Jade Masterson ------ About the song Perhaps Love performed by John Denver Hi.I have been asked to sing this beautiful piece at a wedding in two weeks time.I'm a female vocalist with not alot of experience in recent years.I would appreciate any advice to females who have sung it regarding instruments and keys suitable to sing in. kind regards jade toooo engaging and deep | Reviewer: Namrata ------ About the song Annie's Song performed by John Denver I have grown up on John Denver coz my father listened to it a lot... 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.
