I loved John Denver. He was much to young to leave this world. I will add this, he was so gifted.

I love John Denver’s songs. I don’t think he was amply recognized for his talent. I have CD’s of his music which I love and listen to often

I loved his music. My first time skiing in Colorado was a highpoint in my life. I wished I could live there. It was paradise.

“Sunshine ” is one of my all time favorites. I loved anything John Denver wrote and sang. His voice and songs are so simple yet heartwarming. I miss him but his beautiful music will be with us always. Thank you for this song and video today.

My son looks like John Denver but cannot sing like him. But John Denver always reminds me of sunny days.
Especially when my children were young.
