They were so perfectly matched to sing together on this. They both have such clear, pitch-perfect voices. Just beautiful! Greatly missed.😢😌💟

[@rangerannie5636]

Their voices blend beautifully! 😍

[@that70sgirl90]

Beautiful.... history is the making! Both left us way too soon! 🌹 May You Rest in Eternal Peace 🕊 Cass Elliot and John Denver. Happy New Year! 🥂 Happy Saturday.... thank you for sharing! 💖

I especially liked seeing how the closed stance she had opened up while they looked into each other's eyes and sang. Like John reassured Cass that she was doing fabulous with just looking into her eyes. Both magical talents!

[@barbaraperry5023]

What a lovely observation! Bless your kind heart...❤

The Midnight Special is a treasure trove of good music. Very cool it is getting posted so we can all see it.

[@curtisphilumalee1447]

Loved this music as a young kid but can really appreciate the talent hearing it as an adult. Exceptional harmonies.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Cass and John bring me to tears 🥹, so exemplary talented the harmonies-voices between them, are out of this world - GREAT!! Boom, I’m 13yrs young … again💫♥️💫

[@josephroman8568]

This is so phenomenal! Keep the memories coming Midnight Special!♥️♥️♥️

[@ddraigmafon4725]

Oh Cass, you were such a beautiful soul and shining talent.

[@P51]

they harmonize beautifully. was there a "better" version of this song recorded? i think not! John Denver WAS the '70s.

[@stevecasey1037]

Sad how life imitates art, as John wrote this song, and died in a plane crash off the coast of California...

[@P51]

yeah he was flying that airplane and his contemporary Jim Croce died in an airplane crash as well. two HUGE talents.@@stevecasey1037

They may be gone, but they're still voting [for Democrats].

[@janicetrimmell6897]

Such a beautiful melody and poignant lyrics, especially for what was happening at the time. Those voices were perfect for this duet.

[@rhondahershman3863]

Whenever I’m in Monterey, I go and visit the memorial plaque of John Denver. The plaque is in a rock near where John died in his plane

[@ChuckSchickx]

And THAT is what live music is all about 🤯

[@gregoryduncan3067]

That's a 🍯 of a song.

[@popcultureaddict733]

Cass, John and the audience begin to sing together...and time stops for a brief moment.

[@pretoriaretrofair]

Baltimore’s own Mama Case.

[@outtathyme5679]

They’re both from Baltimore

He’s from Roswell New Mexico.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

@@brads2330Thank you, I always thought John D. was from Colorado

[@mtrsoftwareservices]

He actually died in a plane crash. Sad.

[@KittyGrizGriz]

Makes this song “hit” differently, 😞

[@65dougk]

"When I come back, I'll bring you Burger King". Poetic lyrics.🤣

[@jkkay477]

Mama Cass didn't need any more Burger King 😂

[@larrybethune3909]

Leaving on a homebuilt pusher prop more like it. RIP to John and Ellen.
