In the early 70's I worked at a major Hotel where John Denver and Frank Sinatra performed. John asked if the employees were going to see the once in a lifetime show.He said we will play a special show for them because he saw how much the employee worked behind the scenes for them..and they did for free.A line of first come first serve with an orchestra. It was a special event one I will not forget.You could tell he was a real caring person and he was a great entertainer. May he rest in place 🙏.
It takes someone like Annie to keep someone's legacy alive after they pass away. She is continuing John's work and that is admirable and not always an easy job.
@@greenwich1754 how RUDE
@@greenwich1754 You do know that Annie and John had become good friends again in his later life?
@@synchronicityman9062 No, I did not. I apologize. Thank-you for that. I have taken my posts off. I guess I'm overly cynical with people who cash in upon the death of their spouses, such as Yoko.
Loved that man. He touched my soul with his music. I got married in Aspen and I’m from Ohio. Fly high John your missed so much ❤️
She put up with a lot and also knows what an effect his music has on people.
Denver defined the early 70s. in a good way. What an incredible talent.
Can't believe it's been 25 years. John Denver was everywhere when I was a kid.
He was a 1970's sensation
If you don't love John Denver's music, we can't be friends. Ever.
Boo hoo
I may be a decently hardcore Goth but I adore John Denver. My mom passed away last year. She used to sing Sunshine On My Shoulders to me when I was little. I’ll never forget when he died.
@@shantafuller4861 I feel you. My mom passed away in 2002, and I still listen to John's music. So we're nerds, who cares?
amen my friend
I wholeheartedly agree
I cry when JOHN DENVER opens his heart for the people
of the. Such a tender
heart he had for the
world...
for the people all over the world.
.
I grew up in the 70's and 80's a John Denver fan. I had a girlfriend in HS in the early 90's who would roll her eyes when I would play his music. I broke up with her. One of my life's great regrets is passing up the opportunity to see John Denver in concert. He was dead soon after that concert. My wife and I had Annie's Song as our wedding song... still going strong almost 23 years later. Thanks to John Denver for some truly wonderful music.
Breaking up with her was a smart move ;)
I got to see John several times. I was a preteen the first time. I cried. I had absolutely no control over it. He was larger than life in that moment and I was overwhelmed by emotion. I still remember that concert like it was yesterday. I was secretly jealous of Annie and definately planned on being her replacement ... as soon as I got out of Jr high. lol.
I cried all the way through this video. I miss John so much.
You only lost one girlfriend because she dissed John? I got dissed so much I became immune. As a matter of fact I still feel sorry for people that don't get John's music / message. If not for his music I wouldn't have survived my childhood.
I’m sorry you never got to see him in concert. I saw him in Portland, OR in the fall of 1973. It was an amazing concert. I would have liked to have seen him in the 90s. Because his music had matured quite a bit. Have you seen the video on RUclips of the 1995 Wildlife Concert? It’s awesome. I love how he performed “Guess He’d Rather Be In Colorado” at that concert.
@@grumpyoldlady_rants I have seen that particular concert, a very good one. Yes, I had the opportunity to see him perform at the Ashland, Oregon Shakespeare outdoor arena and I balked for whatever reason. Oh those things you would tell your younger self.
Genius melody writer and an incredible voice
His voice is haunting at times, I get goose bumps sometimes listening to it!!!
In 1970 at the University of Detroit, I bumped into this guy setting up behind the curtain. He had a guitar and was adjusting the chair. I got off the stage before the curtain was pulled back. And the announcer said, "And, now, a new talent. Welcome John Denver!" He stunned the mostly student audience attending what was primarily a political rally with the music.
My 23-year-old daughter and I attended that Colorado Symphony John Denver tribute concert a few weeks ago. It was breathtaking. My daughter loves his music as much as I do. He was one-of-a-kind. The world lost an incredible artist and human when he died.
Is the tribute available online?
Erin, that's good parenting!
@@joannereczka6826 not that I know of :(
Something I just gotta say: Rocky Moutain High. The guitar techniques he used. Alternate tuning (drop d). Capo on fret 2. Hammer ons, Hammer offs. And power chords all in one outstanding song. A very underrated guitar player in my humble opinion. Just sayin'
As someone who took lessons but could barely pluck away at the piano I still appreciate what musicians know, and now I'll listen for this next time I hear that song.
Thanks for your comment, reminding us all that we can't necessarily do what John Denver did but we can definitely appreciate his talent!
He was a GREAT guitarist!
Agree, underrated guitar player.
Well said, James. John was a great, great acoustic guitar player and that opening guitar riff of his on Rocky Mountain High cements his reputation forever. We were so lucky to have had some real giants in the acoustic guitar/singer songwriter genre in which they owned in the 1970's: John Denver........Gordon Lightfoot and the beloved twin acoustic guitar duo of Jim Croce and Maury Meuhleisen.
@@michaelnotigan7796 And Michael Nesmith, John Stewart, Leo Kottke ...
My favorite singer/songwriter of all time. I love his voice, his lyrics, the man himself and what he stood for. Terribly missed...
While Denver’s mellow music made many believe he was equally easygoing in real life, a story about their breakup shows how he could have a bad temper. While the pair split up their property in 1982, Denver allegedly became abusive, almost choking his wife, Annie Martell, and even using a chainsaw to cut their bed in half.
It’s true, look it up.
I love this song, it was one of my best. How is life treating you?
@@philliptommy3639ciao Philip! 🙋♀️😍😘😊💘🍀
Well it's nicely meeting you on this chine, But i really hoped you’ve not been mad at me because i connect you and if I’ve already did and then sorry
My sentiments exactly every last word of them
Back in the late eighties, he came to Mexico City to sing at a Rotary Club convention. My daughter was part of his “back-up” chorus as she attended a local bilingual school and her music teacher was asked to get some kids together for the opening ceremony. The theme was ecology, so he performed a song he wrote for the event, and then included Annie’s Song.We all got to meet him backstage where he was upbeat, kind and funny. His bags got lost in transit, so he made light of the situation and wore a beautiful, multi-colored jacket he had travelled in. It is a treasured memory. When he broke into Annie’s Song, my heart soared.
I love this song, it was one of my best. How is life treating you?
Saw him in concert back in 1975. Didn't want to go, but my friends kept pestering me so I gave in to get them off my case. Surprising to me, a wonderful concert. Even went out and bought a couple albums afterwards! All these years later, when I listen to some of the music, I'm still impressed by how clear and pure his voice was. May he rest easy.
His music is timeless and beautiful. A truly great artist.
John's music was an ever-present part of my childhood and something I shared with my mom. He wasn't perfect, but he tried his best to make the world a better place. 25 years later, his passing still brings a tear to my eye.
Saw him 4 times in concert. Since his passing, I still cannot listen to his music without crying.
A voice as clear and pure as Rocky Mountain spring water. What a treasure he was, and his music will continue to be.
This broke my heart
Illl never forget him ❤🌻
JOHN DENVER, a beautiful man with
an awesome musical talent. May he rest in
peace...
at 65 still listen to him to this day . He went out like one of his songs on a jet plane. a voice like no other gone to soon .
Before "Country Roads" and "Rocky Mountain High" would help his solo career take off, Denver had written a song originally titled "Babe, I Hate To Go". It was brought to the attention of the popular folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary. They would take the song, retitled as "Leaving On A Jet Plane", all the way to No. One on Billboard's Hot 100 Singles Chart.
Peter, Paul, and Mary also recorded For Baby (For Bobbie) in 1966. I read the song was originally written about a former girlfriend named Bobbie. Mary Travers had just given birth to her daughter and suggested changing the meaning of the song to a mother who would do anything for her child, hence the revised song title For Baby (For Bobbie)
Best song he ever wrote ,my favorite anyway
_Fat City_ had originally intended "Country Roads" for Johnny Cash...
My aunt worked in flight ops with John's father Dutch at Lear Jet in Wichita KS back in the 70s .Dutch was a test pilot there after he retired from the air force.John was such a good pilot just like his father was .l couldn't believe it when I heard the news .
Glad to hear the reminisces of Denver's friend Tom and to know that the creativity that John showed in song writing came with the price of dark times for him. It makes me appreciate his gifts more. In performance he made it seem easy and natural, making his audience comfortable.
He died two months before my mother died. Hard to believe it’s been 25 years. I heard his music and watched his TV appearances so much throughout my teens in the 70s as well as my young adulthood. When he died it seemed surreal. Didn’t seem possible. One of the greatest talents ever.
I discovered John Denver's songs long after he died. I listen to them during my work hours. He keeps me focused and calm.I miss him, even though I never knew him. RIP.
I fell in love with his music when I was in high school - 1976. I still love his music. He got such a raw deal from the country music industry. His songs had such intricate lyrics to them. “He was born in the summer of his 27th year, coming home to a place he’d never been before.” I can relate.
John Denver songs were so beautiful. They really took you away to the Colorado mountains. I felt terribly sad when he died.
And Westl Virginia! I've never been to West Virginia but if I do make it I'm sure that song will be in my head!
@@IntriguedLioness and home grown tomatoes. when i leave planet earth on my way out to eternity as a job of a john cash waylon jennings kris kristoson and willie nelson. as a highwaymen. i want to push up home grown tomatoes.
i am leaving on a jet plane. or the pinkard and bouden parody of i am libian in a jet plane.
and i thank god that i am a country boy. i played annies song before annie ????? got called to heaven for shaking and bone cancer. i like rocky mountain high. and the classic country roads west virginia. and probably more.
I love this song, it was one of my best. How is life treating you?
@@philliptommy3639 stop harassing women on You Tube 🙄
I finally did made it to Denver Colorado & got my Rocky Mountain High
I adored John Denver, his music moved me beyond words. I was lucky to get to see him three times in concert. He was amazing. I miss him so much, the world lost an astounding ambassador of love and our planet. When he passed, I felt such sadness. Rest In Peace John and know you were loved.
John Denver's songs and influence are still a major part of me. To say his music and messages to the world was unique is criminally-understated. His premature departure created a sadness that doesn't lessen with time.
Yes. I can't help but feel sad when I listen to his beautiful music knowing his tragic untimely end. So talented and such a good guy.
John Denver's music is a part of my soul. Always in my life, moving me in spiritual ways since I was a child.
Didn't appreciate him entirely during his life, now when I hear his voice I immediately take notice. What a tremendous voice with simplicity, just perfect pitch with great clarity. His lyrics and voice will live forever! Tremendous singer!
His voice was that of velvet, his lyrics w such deeply and meaning. Still so heartbreaking we lost him.
This video made me cry. John Denver is sorely missed
How flattered his former wife must be to know that she was the inspiration for ‘Annie’s Song’!! Such a timeless classic!😭😭🥰😘
Annie is much, much more than his former wife. She was his muse and he was lucky to have her. Don't disregard her role in his music.
All too well - it was the aftermath of an argument they had.
We’ll never forget you, John ✨your music is eternal, it brings the world joy 🕊
Depending on when you're born there's always that one that passes away. To this day I still keep many of his songs close to my heart. Recently I've been binging videos on John's career. Back in the day there was never enough media coverage. I'm amazed to see all the video clips 40 - 50 years later.
There is an amazing rendition of John at the piano singing For You here on RUclips. If you haven’t watched it, it is a must see/hear.
so grateful for the songs and voice of John Denver across the years of my life ... such a huge part of my childhood ... but also the soundtrack to many beautiful moments in adulthood too. Today I made a piano cover of "Sunshine On My Shoulders" to honour 25 years since his passing.
As a young child I listened to his music as I did my homework. Whenever I hear a song of his, it transports me back to my childhood and I can’t help but smile and sing along 🙏🏼❤️
As revered as he is in death, imagine how beloved he would be if he were still alive. Certainly up there with Joni, Carole, and Neil. What a fantastic artist.
Nobody cares about people who are still alive.
All of them had that one huge album. They really couldn’t top it. In his case, it was Windsong.
While Denver’s mellow music made many believe he was equally easygoing in real life, a story about their breakup shows how he could have a bad temper. While the pair split up their property in 1982, Denver became abusive, almost choking his wife, Annie Martell, and even using a chainsaw to cut their bed in half.
It’s true, look it up.
Disgruntled Pelican Even if he lived, he would 100% NOT be "up there with Joni, Carole, and Neil."
@@calisongbird ......through books, interviews with associates, and sometimes very public arrests I've found that these entertainers have public and private personas like night and day. Elvis was one well known example of this. The pressures must be enormous and take their toll on people who might not be so extreme in a less stressful, non-public profession.
25 years already!?! Such a great talent.
My mom knew his older cousins around the Mennonite communities of Corn (Korn) & Colony Oklahoma.
I still have Denver’s greatest hits I & II albums I bought as a kid in the 70s.
Omg! I love him so much ❤😢
John Denver was the first entertainer I had the opportunity to Massge of many.
He was really nice. Loved Polarity Therapy, (energy work) prior to his stage performance. His second wife received a pregnancy massage. I was invited to watch his show from back stage. Though he looked shorter on film he was actually over 6' foot. I could hear him practicing his notes before stage time.
A real gentleman. RIP JOHN DENVER
John Denver was 5’9” tall not over 6’ tall!
Just hearing his voice really does bring tears to my eyes. He was the voice of a generation. I saw him at Red Rocks and you just can't beat a night of John Denver on the Rocks.
Thank you for including Tom Crum in this wonderful story. I went to John Denver's Windstar Foundation's Choices for the Future symposiums in Aspen from 1991-1995, and Tom's AIkido demonstrations were a memorable feature of those events. Living a balanced life is not easy. I'm happy Tom and John were friends.
John Denver was a huge influence on my life. I loved his music, his principals and his dedication to make this a better world
He came to Morgantown, West Virginia to perform Country Roads for us at the opening of new Mountaineer Field on Sept. 6, 1980 when I was a freshman at West Virginia University. What joy if gave then, and even now still gives so many years later. John Denver will always be connected to all true West Virginia Mountaineers.
LOVE! 🤣😂
I've never been to West Virginia but I've always loved that song. If you've never seen it in the moving movie "Logan Lucky" a little girl sings "County Roads" and it had me in tears.
Along with Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" and The Blues Brother's "Sweet Home Chicago" it's one of my favourite songs linked to an area. What a wonderful anthem!
WV adopted Country Roads as a state song.
Our family would always sing " Country Roads " when it came on the car radio ❤️ Great memories of my West Virginia family ✝️ ❤️ 🇺🇸
I loved his music as a child and my son and his Grandmother recently danced to Rocky Mt high at his wedding. It was a moving scene. His music really wound its way through my life.
I will ALWAYS love John Denver and the music he created so much!
He touched the entire world.b🌅
Happy Birthday, John Denver!
Gone too soon, but never forgotten.
Your music & love of nature lives on! Thanks for sharing your love, life & incredible songs with all of us.
I always loved John Denver, growing up in Colorado. I remember at some point he fell out of vogue to like his music, but I always liked him and people made fun of me. I remember being mad after he died and all his "fans" came out of the closet and paid tribute to him. I'm sure he would have appreciated them more if they could have said those nice things while he was still alive.
I didn't care. I loved John when living John wasn't cool too.
Me too, always liked his music and especially the Oh God movie with George Burns.
Loved John Denver..a great artist & a really nice man..God Bless him Rest In Peace John ✝️🙏🏾💔
My favorite John Denver songs not mentioned here are "I'm Sorry" (another song about Annie) and "Perhaps Love." These beautiful, soaring pieces round out that "country boy" side of this talented musician.
Don't hate me but as someone who grew up overseas I've never cared for "country" music.
On a road trip in college with no MP3 players or streaming music my friends and I pulled in a Colorado station once we hit the state line and we heard a lot of John Denver.
To this day if a song comes on I just have to pause and sing along. What a beautiful lyricist and musician!
😭😭😭. My husband who was from CO where we were often surprised me taking me to his last public concert in Dallas at the Majestic. We cried together when he died. Now he’s gone too soon as well. My brother, who i also attended an early concert with in FW, played and sang a medley of our favorites at his funeral. John’s compelling, brilliantly beautiful and evocative voice music poetry and spirit still move me so deeply -such intense memories i can hardly bear it. “ Yesterday i had a dream about dying, about laying to rest and then flying, how the moment at hand is the only thing we really own. And i lay in my bed and i wonder, after all has been said and is done for. Why is thus we are here and so soon we are gone” JD ❤️✌🏼🙏🏼🕉
No one comes even close to that lovely man ❤❤❤
Honestly, it seems more like 55 years ago.
Someone played a soundbite of Amy Winehouse describing how she longed for the old music that celebrated love, as opposed to the “F U” music we now have. Today it’s hard to believe that there was once an era that was filled with hit love songs.
John was one of the greatest singers of all time! I'am listening John Denver almost every day!
I saw John Denver in concert when I was a little girl in Mpls MN. He was very entertaining. R.I.P. John Denver.
I can remember going to see him in Roanoke, VA in the summer of '76, even though I was only three years old. I absolutely loved watching him on TV and was always bugging my dad to play his records for me. My teenaged cousin won tickets way up close to the stage and invited me and my mom and dad because he knew how much I loved him. It was like a dream.
When my mom lived in Colorado in the 1970s, she saw John Denver in concert at Red Rocks. She still talks about it. She's forever a "Colorado girl." To this day, I most associate the song "Rocky Mountain High" with my mom.
JD was so talented and a great singer. My mom loved him when I was growing up. Annie is still so beautiful......
I always love John Denvers music and I miss his Christmas in Colorado movie I wish we can get that back as I miss a little a lot
So sad that they divorced. Annie really loved him and it really shows that even after his death she has been involved in creating a nature preserve in his memory.
One my favorite country music 🤠🎵🎸🌲🌲🌲
John Denver touched my life .As a child who was adopted his music gave me room and space to be okay to think, to be alone, to discover, to be.When my Aunt Passed she took her John Denver tapes with her because she was sick and his music relaxed him.I wished I HAD WROTE HIM TO thank him for all and more.25years gone to soon.Annie is a sweet lady with a big heart and I always liked het
I love this song, it was one of my best. How is life treating you?
Same for me....Thank you for putting it into words.
You're welcome😊 Hope you’re safe including your families?
I wouldn't have survived my childhood without John's music. He did give us hope, comfort and space. I still love Sweet Surrender and Looking For Space. They helped calm an otherwise torturous childhood.
Once John passed he knew what he did for your Aunt & everyone who loved his music, including myself. I only saw him in concert once in the 90's & cried thru most of it as i used his music in 1979 to survive my 4 yr old daughters death, he also helped me get sober & find a new place to live in Wyoming near Yellowstone. Met my husband hear & have been married going on 42 yrs, after having met on a blind date. John D. is enjoyed by both my husband John & myself.
I had an uncle-in-law that spent his last years mostly alone but not lonely. He was once a contractor on the gulf coast, highly skilled craftsmen, etc. I visited him often in the evenings before he passed and most often, he would be listening to John Denver albums on his record player while drinking beer. We barely knew one another while I was growing up but when I moved closer to his location in my 30's we spent considerable time together, good times.
I love Denver's music. We remember him through his music.He loved humanity...he.loved nature. He was one ofmy favourite musician. RIEP
I grew up in the 70’s and John Denver’s music was a big part of my life. I remember listening to his songs on my little transistor radio. I later became a rock radio DJ for many years and I still love his music. Rest In Peace John and thank you.
You never know what you’ve got till it’s gone
during my junior high and high school years, 1968--1974, John Denver's songs comforted my young temper and also taught me so much English.
1981, I went to Monterey for my Master degree, 16 years later, he died there.
The music of John Denver will have always have a special place in my heart. I remember listening to his records in the late seventies when I was a little kid.
Boy, did I just LOVE John Denver... I sure miss that guy-!!! 🤔🙂✌
My favourite singer. We lost him too early. Respect from Bangladesh 🇧🇩.
John Denver = great guy and musician.
Beautiful young man will never be forgotten RIP. 25 years.
Can’t believe it was 2️⃣5️⃣ years ago… I had listened to some of his music then, can’t say I was a fan but did enjoy his music. And listening now gave me goosebumps. RIP gentle giant
Pure inspiration, a gift from above... to us, a gift of love. Thank you John, thank you.
Such a loss to the world.
I love his music. My favorites of his is “Looking for Space.”
Wow! I just asked "Alexa" to play that song and it is indeed beautiful. Thanks for the heads up. This may be a John Denver kind of a Sunday!
Thanks Mo for this piece. John is still relevant, still loved, still a legend.
John’s greatest hits was the first record I bought ❤
On a road trip in college from Chicago to the West Coast with no MP3 players or streaming music my friends and I pulled in a Colorado station once we hit the state line and we heard a lot of John Denver.
To this day if a song comes on I just have to pause and sing along. What a beautiful lyricist and musician!
John Denver brought me much joy…..
I still love him! I saw him and Annie in Aspen in 76 going in a restaurant! They were part of my profound feelings for the love of my life!
John Denver I believe was one of the very first conservationist his love of nature and the land was unmistakable in his way of life and his writings . I think if anyone should be awarded for conserving the environment it should be John Denver. RIP ❤
He was a great artist and humanitarian. A man with just a guitar created some of the best music of that era. I was so lucky to have been able to attend 3 of his concerts during that time!! Have a collection of his albums and CD’s to this day…. He left this world too early… doesn’t seem like 25 years ago..
Me and my Dad used to always listen to John Denver together when I was a kid. It brings back good memories with my Daddy. My Dad's two favorite songs were Country Roads and Rocky Mountain High. I have always loved John Denver's music !!! It is eeriely haunting, beautiful music that grips the Soul !!!
Love John Denver, from a Chinese fan.
RIP John! You were such a talented singer/songwriter. Love your music!!
I saw him at the Philadelphia Folk Festival in the 1960s playing with the Chad Mitchell Trio He was replacing a member who had died. He had that amazing 12-string guitar and was just breathtaking. Rousing round of applause.
John was actually a member of The Mitchell Trio. He replaced Chad Mitchell when he left the group.
@@connieleveque341
Beat out over 200 people who auditioned
This was a great episode to start the new season - a wonderful tribute to a prolific singer/songwriter. I’m so glad Mobituaries is back.
I love this song, it was one of my best. How is life treating you?
You wouldn't put him on at a party, but he had a deep sense of ecology, worked with many environmental organizations and always had general goodwill. Country Roads and Annie's Song are simply beautiful. Plus he had a good sense of humor, parodying Imagine on Letterman. Saw him about a month before he died. RIP, John.
my mother saw him in concert int he late 70's in West Germany!.
My sister & I were just talking about him & his music yesterday.
She said her friend had invited her to a concert back in the day when she lived in Texas. She really wasn't going to go, but changed her mind at the last minute.
She said she was so glad she went, as it was the best concert she ever attended.
People were up singing and dancing to "Grandma's Feather Bed."
How awesome is that?
Always loved John Denver. Still listen to his music
After I bought "Rocky Mtn. High" on a 45 rpm vinyl record, I played it over and over for 23 straight times, and then went to a camping store and bought my first camping gear. Thank you John Denver!!☺
Thank you for honoring such a truly wonderful man.
Was lucky enough to see him in concert once. Can’t believe it’s 25 years since he passed. Boy 1997 was a crummy year like that. Princess Diana, Mother Theresa and John Denver. I loved his music.
I love this song, it was one of my best. How is life treating you?
It was his love and sadness and heartbreak for the way we treat the Earth that I loved the most.Rocky Mountain High is still unique among songs for the awakened soul in natures redemptive glory.
John Denver is one of a few classic singer-songwriters who I've never really taken a deep dive into. I can't wait until I take that ride one day, I know the itch will come.
Love John Denver, wonderful music ❤️.. Miss him
25 years? How can that be? I feel like it was just yesterday that I first heard “Poems, Prayers and Promises” and fell in love with John Denver. “…and what about our dreams and all the memories we share?”
As a kid I knew every single song of John's by heart and sang them everyday. I had all of His albums and an autographed picture. Born in 1965, my guess is almost everyone born in the mid to late 60s especially in the South new John intimately
