To think John Denver's music stands the test of time?

I think all music stands the test of time for the people that enjoyed it when they first heard it.
Greensleeves is a pretty good tune.
I like John Denver too, this is not a criticism of his music.

I think that he did have a great voice. Can't believe that he divorced his wife, he wrote Annie's Song for her. All that emotion! He wasn't actually a country boy either. His dad was in the military and he spent his childhood going from base to base. It's okay, I watched a documentary, I'm not obsessed with himgrin

There were some great songs back in the 60's and I often sit on YouTube trying to think of and find all the songs I have almost forgotten.

I loved the sentiments expressed in 'Some days are diamonds, some days are stones'. It's my self comforting song.

Each to their own, I never liked him.

He had a lovely voice. Sometimes we play and sing ‘Take me home country roads’ in our ukulele group. I like Annie’s song, too.

Just sitting here listening to Leaving on a Jet Plane.

Loving it!
