I watched "Oh God" a few weeks ago - he was great in that too.

I won a music contest in 1980 singing this song.

If I remember, Annie didn’t last very long in Denver’s life, but the great song (his best) will live forever.

Helluva song. Helluva talent. Denver was a hippie and a drinker, but he was also an American original, an Air Force brat, and a very likable entertainer. R.I.P.
To: FLNittany
Back when musicians in America wrote real music.
Thanks for this.

My nephew chose this song for his first dance with his bride at their reception last October. As a John Denver fan, I was happy he chose this song.

She and her family were my neighbors in Minnesota 45 years ago.
He would show up in our small town, with dirt roads, in a limo.
What a sight it was!

Do you have a high tenor voice?
I friend of mine had such a voice, and loved singing
“Danny Boy” on St. Patty’s Day. Not a song for rusty baritones like me.

Yes, and speaking of Irish tunes to be sung, I got a 1st place the next year (1982) in a different contest with โBendemeerโs Stream.โ

That should be โ1981,โ not โ1982.โ

I never appreciated his music enough in the 1970s. A very talented songwriter who died too young.

Ok, this may be in poor taste, but honestly I can't think of John Denver (who's performance in front of the PMRC was great) without this running through my head:
Monty Python: the sound of John Denver being strangled.
Allegedly, this bit was pulled from one Python album, not for being rude, but because they didn't pay him for using that short (very short) snippet of "Annie's Song". Spam spam spam spam

IMO the most beautiful romantic songs ever written (that I’ve heard) are “Annie’s Song” and then Barry Manilow’s “Could it be Magic.” They both give me chills.
To: DoodleBob
Guilty of having been exposed to the same unforgivably sordid sendup of this song. Mistakenly thought the altered lyrics therein were Denver’s actual lyrics. Still seeking to recover so much lost decency and innocence. Terrible, really. ;-)
