John Denver - Take Me Home, Country Roads (from The Wildlife Concert) | REACTION

[@paulwhite5840]

You have many, many more songs of John Denver to experience my brother.

[@johnjacobjingleheimerschmi7268]

Oh, the good days when musicians could actually sing. No autotune or fancy tricks, just human voice. John Denver will always be one of the best.

[@daventunes3822]

You cannot go wrong with any of the songs from this concert, but he did a stellar job with "Calypso," the song he wrote in tribute to Jacques Cousteau and his research ship.

[@diannaspang51]

Annie's Song is beautiful.

[@GeekyGirl80]

Can't believe this was your first intro to an American Legend. Rocky Mountain High or Annie's Song next.

[@pbell44]

I was just about to suggest those 2 songs

[@NancyMoran-r3b]

He was a pilot as well as a singer and a songwriter. He crashed a plane he was flying. Too young, he died.

[@carolynpariyar3911]

I’m a mountain momma born and raised in South Charleston West Virginia!!!! This song brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it!

[@geniej9093]

John Denver, FAR OUT!

[@BarbaraPryor-Smith]

Rocky Mountain High is a beautiful song. He sings about his own mystical experience there. Sublime.

[@kammyjohnson2288]

Loved this. If you want to hear Johns true love of nature, you have to hear Rocky Mountain High. If want to hear Johns true love he had for his wife, you have to hear Annie’s Song. He is a true poet. Great reaction

[@T_Stoned304]

Our WVU football team sings this song at the end of every home game. And by the end the entire crowd has joined in. It never fails to bring me to tears.

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Sadly, John died at 53. He loved to fly & he crashed his recently purchased plane. He was awesome & had so much more great music in him. Sad for all. 'Rocky Mountain High' is another hit that I love.

[@Soundhypno]

Sweet Surrender is a great John Denver song and Rocky Mountain High is a must!

[@Shredward-dl2gp]

John Denver was a monster hit maker! All sorts of great hits

[@sharonpate5481]

You should definitely check out “For You” from the same Wildlife Concert. It’s a beautiful song with John playing the piano! 💙👵🏼✌🏼

[@TaraWontTapOut]

John Denver is an EPIC LEGEND. End of story. That’s why I threw this track. LEGENDARY.

[@mimi-422]

One of the best songs ever!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ How did you never hear this amazing song??

[@leeannies-tears369]

MORE JOHN DENVER!!!

[@dawns.427]

His best song in my opinion is Rocky Mountain High. John was an environmentalist and this song was about his discovery of his deep love of nature. Listen to the Studio version, it's amazing! Calypso is amazing too. It's a tribute to the Oceanographer Jaques Cousteau. Back in the day when we older folks were kids, we didn't have Discovery Channel and we looked forward to The Undersea World of Jaques Cousteau who with hisncrew on his ship the Calypso showed us the wonders of the ocean world. John was actually friends with him and was on the ship for a few adventures. Annie's song is a beautiful love song he wrote for his first wife.

[@kimberlydavis7514]

John was also an actor. He made a movie with George Burns called Oh, God! It was a pretty good movie. His musical catalog is quite large and varied.

[@teresanewman4656]

John Denver simply the best

[@SteveWalsh-qm3tk]

Do your soul a favor, dive in with both feet to John Denver

[@dsusan17]

John Denver is LEGEND. Great catalog. I consider him a folk singer. Most put him in a Country music genre

[@maryannweitzel5636]

This song became one of the two officel state songs of West Virginia. And Rocky Mountain High another of John's songs became Colorados' 2nd state song.

[@terrylynnheinrich8777]

Sunshine on my Shoulders..Rocky Mountain High..Annie's Song..all are spectacular! ❤

[@MariaT6317]

John Denver is amazing. You need to hear Annie's song ❤

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Amazing voice ❤

[@katttmandoo]

West Virginia here! It is a requirement that you know this song if you are born here.

[@BarbaraPryor-Smith]

Awww, John us a poetic lyricist, and his voice and his heart bring light to all his songs. Beautiful soul. We love you John! ❤

[@70sMusicLady]

John has an amazing catalog of songs. Got my first JD album in 1974. Died tragically at the age of 53 about 2 years after this concert.

[@DEVILLXX74]

That's the year I was born '74 😂😂😂😂😂

[@70sMusicLady]

@@DEVILLXX74 High school graduation. Yep, I'm old. But, I heard all the good music. lol

[@timbillings6884]

Me too Bro.✌Man​@@70sMusicLady

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Umm - John Denver didn't die in 74 - John Denver was my first live concert in 1985. He was my all time favorite until Randy Travis entered country music.

[@70sMusicLady]

@@johnpaulbacon8320 If that was meant for me, I said I got my first JD album in 1974.

[@connieburns4837]

Born and raised in WV. Haven’t lived there in many, many years but it will always be home. I get choked up every time I hear this song. ❤

[@familyocean]

I’m so glad you did this. I had a hard time liking his music when I was a kid but my mom LOVED him and world play his stuff constantly. As I became an adult and a musician myself, I learned to love him too. Also I had a 3-year-old son who was never interested in anything on the tv. Wouldn’t watch anything. One day I tuned into this very concert and my son was mesmerized by him. Even a little kid could recognize the amazing music!

[@EydeRedman]

He was so pure!❤

[@susanworkman529]

"Annie's Song" .. "Rocky Mountain High". " Sunshine On My Shoulders". "Leaving On A,Jet Plane". These are just some of his songs. S great singer/songwtiter. He sang about prople.and places he loved.

[@jewel_laughs]

This song is sung in bars 'n pubs around the world. Denver's music appeared on a variety of charts, including country music, the Billboard Hot 100, and adult contemporary, earning 12 gold and four platinum albums.

[@sheilanelson3187]

“Lookin’ For Space” by John Denver. I’ve loved this song ever since I first heard it on the original Magnum P. I. television show.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

John Denver had a ton of hits and a bunch of really great songs. And they're all over the spectrum. Rocky Mountain High is a great second step I think, but there are so many. And yes it explicitly uses the word Colorado in it 😅

[@sherigrow6480]

Folk singer, singer-songwriter, he has an epic catalog of songs. One of his best songs became a bigger hit for another group- Leaving on a Jet Plane by Peter, Paul, & Mary, also folk singers

[@lenaburns]

He’s a great artist

[@suemontague3151]

I'm an Aussie 🇦🇺 and I know every word of this iconic song 🎵

[@randystalnaker6700]

An amazing man, amazing artist, silenced way too soon...miss his music

[@gaonasrockingbeauty5115]

Grandma’s old feather bed is my favorite

[@MatthewC137]

Well we know your ears are good because John Denver had one of the best voices!

[@dianegreiner4054]

"Annie's Song" showcases John's beautiful singing voice.

[@JL-is9rg]

"Rocky Mountain High"-studio version.

[@saturdayfan744]

Omg yes!! More John Denver, Annie’s Song, Thank God I’m a Country Boy, Rocky Mountain High to name a few. And my fav because I first heard him as a kid on the Muppet Show, Grandma’s Feather Bed 🥰

[@thekingcobra63]

This song has been like an anthem for so many of us service men and women as we traveled home from overseas.

[@steveandtammyb]

John Denver was always one of my favorite artists! Great singer songwriter with so many great songs!!

[@Summermute7]

“Thank God I’m a Country Boy”. it’ll have you slapping your knee and tapping your toes.

[@JL-is9rg]

"Grandma 's Feather Bed" was a cottage favorite when I was a kid.

[@spacefanatic]

John Denver was a great singer and song writer. He sounded just as good live as he did on the studio versions. He was more of a folk singer than a country singer. He was also an environmentalist before most people knew what that was. He died far too young and the world lost out on his huge talent for song writing.

[@jerrishook7783]

Calypso has a whole different style. Recommend a listen. He was just awesome! RIP.

[@jennywren7822]

This is one of the official state songs for West Virginia. Henry John Deutchendorf Jr was a humanitarian and conservationist, he spent a lot of his money trying to save this world. He was as big as Elvis in his prime and died by going into the sea in his Longeze kit plane when he was 56. A very talented man, he had his own show and in a film with George Burns. Many other songs, Rocky mountain High is another of his well known songs. He wrote most of his songs. Country Roads is played and sang after every game by West Virginia college football teams ❤

[@amicouvillionwilson1824]

You will love this !!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Broomrider1492]

In the summer of 1971 we loved this song. I fell in love with it again when Geoff Castellucci the bass of VoicePlay did a wonderful cover of this song on his own channel. All that bass.

[@fancystitch6478]

Thank you for the song, I haven’t heard it in awhile by John Denver. Home Free has a cover of it that I also enjoy very much. Of course they put their personal touch on it. I am actually a coal miner’s daughter from West Virginia. The stories I could tell.

[@linkcurry5235]

Jon Denver's next 2 songs to react to are... 1) ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH 2) SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS

[@kayblock-bourghs8285]

Love, John Denver! All of his songs are special!

[@chrisanderson5592]

There is no way you have never heard this song before, it’s one of the most famous songs in the history of the world.

[@kevindohn6776]

Yes indeed, from that same concert, Rocky mountain high, is the best version ! Other good songs are Annie's song, This old guitar, Sunshine on my shoulder. John Denver was known for his smooth warm voice and gentle folk, pop, country blend style.

[@timmurphy479]

He was my mother's favorite RIP John here's to you Mom

[@RebeccaMidyette]

My first concert was John Denver back when I was about 15. Enthralled then and still love hearing him.

[@aletmartins6940]

John D and Pavarotti - Perhaps love.❤️ ❤❤

[@ilonafann8348]

Glad you got a kick out of this oldies, sing along! Fun to listen to!

[@susanr4663]

My heart melts. 😊 So good.

[@monajorata6126]

So many of his songs bring back childhood memories.

[@suepall5425]

Rocky Mountain High is my favorite John Denver song. So beautiful. He is an amazing songwriter. I hope you react to this one. You will love it.

[@VeteranforTrump]

Rip john....you were a legend

[@ladyjade001]

I remember hearing this song during his last tour. I miss hearing his songs.

[@devonvergiels5185]

Only got to go to 3 shows of John's, but oh boy, they were perfection. He was a childhood favorite, my family played his music in the car when we were on vacation. Nothing but wonderful memories.

[@debraschiro6234]

Rest in peace John Denver there's a little plane went down that he was pilot 10 or 15 years ago anyway Listen to As Much John Denver as you can😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

[@rayvyn2k]

"Calypso" is sooo good as someone else mentioned. Also "Rocky Mountain High."

[@donaldwillis2267]

An early part of the soundtrack of my youth.

[@005uz345]

I breakout the John Denver and the Muppets Christmas album every year.

[@westridgerunner]

Nice reaction, Blessings to you and yours from West Virginia

[@Antonydelfierropatulano]

Leaving on a Plane is great song too.

[@davidw7]

The one with Mama Cass live is great...... with their harmony live, I think it was on the Midnight Special show?

[@shirleymongold1201]

John Denver was a national treasure. I think I remember that he was the poet laureate of Colorado

[@KatieCat11]

This is my family's unofficial theme song. It was sung at all family gatherings, and sadly, funeral. My grandmother actually had a dream of a plane crash and when she woke up the next morning saw that John Denver had tragically died in one.

[@wendyryder2708]

Oh wow! You’ve given me GOOSEBUMPS!

[@timbillings6884]

What's not to like about John!? He was a good man and a great songwriter RIP John Denver!!! Still souring...

[@kennbicknell5492]

*The John Denver rabbit hole is 🔥. America's premier contemporary folk music singer. "Annie's Song" is for anyone in love. Check it out!*

[@karenjack8727]

Oh man I love John Denver. His songs Thank God Im A Country Boy and Annie’s Song are soooooooo good

[@cattewest]

Was fortunate enough to hear this in live concert. Try Sunshine on my Shoulders.

[@NilZed1]

His voice was lovely. And this song hits everyone right in the feels, no wonder where the country roads you remember are. Doesn’t have to be W VA. Or even in the US.

[@michellejackson6679]

what.. what.. what.. how can we not love John Denver.. come on.

[@Triggerhippie70]

Listen, I’m from Miami. I do not like country music but here’s the thing I was born January 1970 I grew up listening to John Denver and this man is brilliant.

[@crystalbrewer2260]

I live in west virginia. This is our song 🎵

[@LynnLouthen]

RIPJohn Denver. If you liked this song you should react to The Artists Then, Now & Forever - Forever Country. This song was one of 3 iconic songs in a mashup performed by 30 of Countries best. Unfortunate that John Denver wasn’t alive to enjoy.

[@mistyanderson4567]

Sing takes me back to some good times as a kid.

[@andreadeamon6419]

Fly away with the beautiful and very missed Olivia Newton John. Then if you have kids around - grandmas feathered bed. Both favorites of mine

[@catherineday951]

Love his voice..my two faves of his are Calypso, and Annie's Song. (I'm not a country fan...at all...but have always loved John's voice)

[@PeggyHarbert]

CHECK OUT JOHN DENVER'S "BACK HOME AGAIN"

[@terryconnelly484]

Funny Thing is he did a song called rocky mountain high talking about colarado.. But in an ironic tragedy, he died in an airplane crash when he was flying his plane.One of his best songs was i'm leaving on a jet plane

[@sheriscary4367]

I actually love John Denver😊memories of a big brother, Dad and me singing in a little blue LUV truck 🛻 He wanted to go into space. He attempted to go on The Challenger, that blew up, in the ‘80’s. He later died flying a plane ✈️ he built that ran out of gas ⛽️ RIP 💔😢🌹🙏🏼

[@sheriscary4367]

John Denver, that is! Google him😊👍🏼

[@sheriscary4367]

Leavin on a Jet Plane ✈️❗️❗️❗️

[@paulineh4019]

John did not build the plane, he bought it already built, it was a few years old by the time John bought it.

[@judithbush939]

This song was a world-wide hit even in China where Western music was banned sthe time it was John wrote many songs and his varied from love songs like Perhaps Love to songs about takinge care of nature like his Calypso to fun songs like Thakn God I'm a Country Boy He wrote most of his own song ro wrote the music. Not many people would try to cove r John's music because it was instantly recognizable at John Denver. I would classiiify him aa an easy listening balladeer/

[@melbahickox5625]

70 music 🎶was the best 👌

[@karengarrow5579]

John Denver died in a plane crash very tragic a huge loss to the music industry also listen to Annie’s song grandmas feather bed rocky mountain high country boy some great songs

[@JANETTE74576]

John Denver has a wide range of songs. If you want a couple on the faster and funnier side, listen to Thank God I'm a Country Boy and Grandma's Feather bed. If you want a couple that are more sentimental type, listen to Sunshine on My Shoulder and Annie's Song. I don't think John ever had a bad song unless it was him singing with Muppets. LOL

[@Kathryne0816]

John Denver is the only artist I know of who has two songs that are "un-official" official state songs - "Country Roads" and "Rocky Mountain High." the songs requested below are great songs. If you want a laugh, try "Forest Lawn."

[@paulineh4019]

They are Official State songs, not un Official.

[@judylaughlin9867]

Brandy Carlisle has a very heartfelt rendition that would also be worth a listen. John’s version is so good, but as a tribute, Brandy brought hers to the table.

[@clatoris69]

If you want to hear a tribute version of this song, I would recommend the version from Home Free. It is absolutely a beautiful rendition of this song. And I do love the original just the same, but theirs offers a different vibe to it.

[@IAMisLove]

👍Awesome x 💯. 🖖❤
