    This was John's Vietnam War protest song. Leaving on a Jet Plane meant that he was getting shipped overseas.

    My high-school counselor was his uncle. His name was David Deutschendorf. The year before he passed John Denver(Deutschendorf) took a break from traveling to stay with his uncle. His uncle David, convinced him to do a high school concert. We sat and watched John get introduced by his uncle as John Deutschendorf, he sat at the center circle of our gymnasium on a folding metal chair with just his guitar and and a mike. He sang for his uncle and our small town high-school in the middle of nowhere Kansas. And yes I get emotional too....

    Losing John Denver was such a great loss. He was still so young and full of life. I'm 71 years old now and I remember when hit the music scene he was a massive star. His music was on every radio station, he was a guest on every variety show, had a bunch of his own specials, made a movie or two, he hosted the 26th - Grammy awards, he was everywhere and everybody loved him, including me! Yes, I miss John too, such a talent and a wonderful human being. The world is a lesser place because of his passing.

    As an Army brat I have a lot of friends in my past who cry every time this song comes on because it was in its prime when our dads were going off to the war in Viet Nam. Our moms cried or got very silent when it played, and that sticks with you. My peewee league coach didn't come back, and the was the first time I realized what war really meant, and this song was playing in the car when we found out.

    "Annie's Song" is one of the greatest love songs ever. That's a song by him that will make you happy. Also, his big hit "Rocky Mountain High" will make you smile, along with "Calypso" which is his tribute to the crew of the oceanographic adventure ship of the same name.

      I always thought Annie’s Song would be what I would like to hear on my deathbed. So beautiful, and embodies how I feel about my hubby and the deep love we share and the primal and heavenly joy of it. The biggest blessing in my life. How fortunate we have felt to have one another.

(mama cass) cass elliot died a couple of years later. one of the few artists of that era that didn't die from a plane crash or over odsed from drugs. she died to young.

    John Denver was, and is, my favorite artist. I love everything he has ever done. When he was killed, it took nearly two years before I could, once again, deliberately put on his albums and listen to him. I’d seen him in concert so many times, bought all his albums, watched his movies that the loss seemed very, very personal. I, finally, came to accept that he died doing what he loved as much as he loved writing and playing his music. After all these years, John Denver reigns as the number one happy place in music for me.

    My mother met him when she was in college in the 70's in Alamosa Colorado. She said he was one of the sweetest most considerate people that she had ever met. And that he had a presence during his performances that you can't really feel with his records. She said that it didn't matter how many people were there it always felt as though he was singing directly to you.

  • @colibri1
    @colibri1 3 года назад +53

    Most of John Denver's hits in the seventies were movingly beautiful like this, but I fear that the beauty even of those with happy and positive lyrics like "Sunshine On My Shoulders" from 1971 could still draw tears in you, so I'll recommend his most upbeat hit, "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" from 1974, fast in tempo and positive in lyric. Cass Elliott's songs both solo and with the Mamas and the Papas should be safely tearless for you, but since harmonies seem to brighten your spirits, the group work might be best, so maybe try the Mamas and Papas' playful cover of Rodgers and Hart's "Sing For Your Supper" from 1967. There's no way that one would make you cry, especially if you find the live TV performance of it I've seen, where Cass is particularly funny interacting with her bandmates.

    Growing up with John and being of a Rock crowd we all admired and liked John...No one was ashamed of it...it wasnt uncool to like his stuff because everyone recognized it as Damn good....The music, the words, his voice, his life.....In a time where he would been labeled a "Square" or "Nerd" Johnnie was given a pass because you couldnt deny the spiritual pureness of his work and life.,,,"Calypso" was a good one too...Its a tribute to Jacques Custeau

    John was such a nature lover and enjoyed his life, even though it had the trauma and sadness at times, that we all experience. It is what we do for each other and ourselves. Overcoming it is not always easy, but the only answer.
    Gliding is a spectacular experience. It is like nothing else one can experience here. At least it was relatively fast and probably very fast. We all have to leave. You make your own decisions about what you do with the time you have been given. God bless him for sharing what he knew.
