Favorite John Denver Song

[No Swansong]

Tough to choose but I would have to say

"Sunshine On My Shoulders".

Anyone else?

 

[Historicus]

Mine is defiantly...Take Me Home, Country Roads.

 

[boswd]

Too many to choose from

Love John Denver

 

[boswd]

I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane

 

[No Swansong]

Mine is defiantly...Take Me Home, Country Roads.

That's my youngest son's favorite. I quite enjoy it myself.

 

[No Swansong]

I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane

Also an excellent choice. Have you heard Peter Paul and Mary's rendition?

Annie's Song

I love John Denver's music.

I read once that he wrote that entire song (which is beautiful) music and lyrics in 10 minutes.

 

[ContraMundum]

Rocky Mountain High or Back Home Again.

 

[Mary of Bethany]

I had forgotten about Back Home Again, but that is a great one!

All i can remember of the song that i enjoyed best were the words,"Sweet, Sweet surrender," It was doing the rounds about 1974 in the UK.

You're kidding, right? A thread about John Denver and no one has yet said that Calypso is their favourite?

Great vocal delivery on that song.

Now all we have to do is discuss versions of the mentioned songs that are the best ones. I like the versions of the songs on the "Unplugged Collection", which was the last release issued before he died. The songs are re-recorded versions and his voice sounds wonderfully mature.
