John Denver, who died 27 years ago, wrote poetic songs of love, innocence and beauty which he also sings in his unique and memorable vocals. To listen to his music is to feel an ineffable, joyous love for so many things that make life worth living. Here are three songs to remember this gifted songwriter/singer who gave the world such classics like Country Road, Take Me Home, Poems, Prayers and Promises, and Annie’s Song.
