John Denver, during his peak popularity years throughout most of the 1970s, was one of my favorite recording artists, mixing folk, rock, and country and western music in his special way to produce some of the most beautiful songs of that era. He sadly died in a plane crash twenty years ago, but his music is just as fresh today as when he first recorded it. Here is the list of my top favorite songs of his, each followed by its year of release...
