John Denver

An image of John Denver

When John Denver died in a plane crash in 1997, he left behind a catalog of folk, country, and soft-rock songs that made him one of the most beloved singer-songwriters of the '70s. Denver was a great lover of nature, and in 2007, his 1972 hit "Rocky Mountain High" was made the official state song of Colorado, his adopted home state.
