    John Denver has a stronger and more dynamic voice than James Taylor. Another thing that amazes me is listening to Tom Jones doing folk-style and country-style singing and pulling it off very effectively and believably. This man could sing the phone book and make it enjoyable.

    I'm amazed at the number of people I've met who don't like John Denver. They say he's sappy or he was a phony because of the bed cutting and DWIs. I say he was a human being who made mistakes, but more than rectified them with all the goodness and positivity he spread. A genuine, caring soul taken too soon

    In his day, Tom Jones had one of the most distinctive and powerful voices and there weren't many who could share the limelight with him and compete, but John Denver certainly did here. My all time favourite singer, bar none, for more than 45 years. Saw him in concert numerous times, met him and got his autograph. A gift to us, taken far too soon!

    John Denver has been a favorite of mine for 30 years. And still to this day nobody comes CLOSE to his voice and persona in my opinion. A true one of a kind. That voice was a gift sent from the heavens. Just listen to it and fly away to dreamland. Who else could sing Carolina in My Mind like this? Nobody.

      @@Jazzycat47 Blessed. I loved his music as a child, my mom grew up in Socal with a music background, and she also loved Tom Jones too! Both were very popular in Japan and even Studio Ghibli, who are like the Disney of Japan, used "Country Roads Take Me Home" as a theme song to one of their movies in the 1990s.
      John Denver was the earliest musician speaking up for environmental conservation and world hunger. He was a jewel of a soul.

    Several years ago there was a program on PBS discussing singers and singing by vocal coaches. The consensus of the group was that Tom Jones had the greatest singing voice. While I do believe that he is great, John has much more ability to add to the lyrics with sensitivity and texture. I was lucky enough to hear him live. Mic's couldn't resolve all in his voice.

    Can we just see how truly underrated The Talented the Tom Jones is, I was looking for a James Taylor John Denver collaboration and I will have to say this it's probably close if not as good as that would be if that hasn't happened, Tom Jones has a voice that doesn't age and that pretty much doesn't belong to one genre of music, he's wasted Keith Urban before Keith Urban could even be thought of, even on The Australian Voice think I can still seem like he's too. I would like to see him come back with a show like this I still think you could do it. And just bring on different talented singers or showcase them maybe even from the Australian version of The Voice start the American version of The Voice. I don't know I just think that that would be pretty cool, like you did here. Legends are like wine.
