The man had his problems. I've been sitting here listening to his songs. Truly a gift from God. That man had talent, I'm sorry he isn't here to bring us all the joy of his voice and music.

John Denver..... no doubt the greatest singer...…… ever!!!! smile smile Listen to his songs often and get on U tube and watch his videos. No his top notch ability as a pilot certainly could be considered not to be such a correct statement !!! crazy crazy crazy

Even the greatest pilots can't overcome some mechanical difficulties

Oddly, I find his voice almost haunting, almost like he is still with us. He has that legacy in his voice and music. It always sounds like we are sitting around a campfire and the dude across the fire has a guitar .

Many of John Denver's songs sound like blessings to me or hymns to nature.

Saw him in concert one time. He was the first person on the stage and the last one to leave. His band took a break but kept right on playing and singing. One heck of a good concert!

John Denver is a goofball and you guys need to watch a John Wayne movie, chop down a tree, and eat a unicorn.

I went to his concert in Lincoln Nebr. It was one of the first concerts ever in the Bob Devaney sports center. The seats were no installed yet. You just sat on the cement …. like a bleacher. Fire marshalls were all over making people keep the isles open. Later they said it was the most people that will ever see a concert there because with no seating more fit in. John Denver came out first and let his band have a break mid concert, and then he was the last to leave. I think it was about a two and one half hours.... maybe a little more.... concert. This was in the late 70's.

He may or may not have been a homo , but he was an advocate and well liked in the gay community .

I like his songs , his personnel life is his ,too many singers have great songs, but look at there personnel life it make you wonder of who they really are. Like stated he had his problems.I remember when they say when he died. It happened to others but not get as notice.

I used to listen to him all the time, then for some reason, not so much. I don't think he made it from cassette to CD in my collection back in the day.

A couple years ago my middle daughter and I were stacking fire wood and listening to music through her phone and a speaker. She asked what I wanted to hear next. Out of the blue I asked if she had any John Denver. She found some then said "WHY AM I JUST HEARING THIS NOW, THIS IS AWESOME!" LOL He's in her regular rotation now.

His song "thank God I am a country boy" is a classic. Classic amount of disrespect for the people feeding him. I am glad I don't have any of his talent
