A few of you were around in the 70s and 80s and knew John Denver. For you, here are some of his early songs.
Some other listeners have never even HEARD of John Denver! For you, here is an introduction to one of the most influential singers of his time. I've included some history of John as well as some of his music.
Today's songs are from his famous "Rocky Mountain High" album. (The CD was published by RCA, from recording of the 1972 album by BMG Music.)
