John Denver voice is like silk! He brings me to beautiful place. Not too many singers can truly do that

[@chrischoo3692]

You are right about him been world famous. I am a Malaysian and I can attest to fact that even now he remains a household name and his Country Roads song is possibly the most well known western song in this part of the world from all ages !

[@suzannemcmaken4648]

❤

[@t-boog2173]

John's vibrato was awesome. It's very fast & steady like he's singing thru a fan(in a good way).

[@scrappydude1]

Yes! The tempo of the vibrato strongly influences how you hear the song. Too fast and it sounds childish. Too slow and it overpowers everything in the mix. John had this figured out to perfection!!!

[@jimjohngirard]

Music inspires......John's music inspired me to leave Ohio for the Rocky Mountains of Idaho where I now have lived for 40 years. I was most fortunate to meet him back stage after his concert on May 26th, 1997, 5 months before his untimely death. His music was panned and mocked by the critics of the day.....yet, like all great music, it has outlasted those critics and still resonates with and speaks to the common man, like me.....God Bless Him and I hope he's flying wherever he is now.

[@merrylshort5074]

One of my favorite singers/poets of all time. I moved to Monterey California 2 weeks after his plane fell into the bay... I was so sad.

[@davegeisler7802]

John voice was crystal clear and his pitch , vibrato and timbre voice was perfect. He needs no judgement or opinion from anyway . Just enjoy this brilliant generational singer and songwriter and the sheer talent that he had !! ❤️

[@Brandon-yr3nj]

how is his humming so beautiful

[@rhvenaubrey6008]

The first record I ever owned was John Denver's "An Evening with John Denver". This song was one of the songs from that recorded concert and was one of my favorites. That album is still one of my favorites, every song was wonderful. Thank you very much for this reaction.

[@docsavage8640]

One of my favorite double albums!

[@jeremylanier4743]

He is probably the most relatable artist of all time. It really feels like he is singing for the world. I have said this before, but if I could only listen to one artist the rest of my life it would be John Denver.

[@davidpradarelli1796]

His real name was Henry John Deutchendorf. He also sang in the eary 60s with a folk group called the Mitchell Trio.

[@quietwyatt4045]

I’ve given a lot of thought to JD’s voice over the years. I couldn’t quite find a way to describe what he was doing to have such command across such a range while also being able to sing out powerfully and suddenly sing a much softer passage - not by simply singing quieter - but soft, like a lullaby. I discovered a way of singing that’s called “Mixed Voice”. It’s exactly what it sounds like. It’s a combination of belting from the abdomen but without bypassing the resonances from all the various bones in one’s head. IMHO, your head is like the soundbox of a stringed instrument. It’s what makes an acoustic guitar sound totally different from a banjo. I believe this “mixed” style of singing is exactly what Denver did.

[@TennesseeMelanie]

This is proof that the simplest of lyrics say the most.

[@shanenolan8252]

I remember he used to play this song in his international performances but he did it in the local language I heard him sing it in a few

[@danip3270]

My family has been from Colorado for generations. His music, is my home. If that makes sense. I’m 49 and have known his music my whole life. I’ve never heard that he did before. What an amazing talent. I mourned his death for a long time.

[@nancyandrews398]

My vocal teacher always used his voice as an example of a "bright" tone.

[@MrSprog4u]

From what I have heard, this song is a tribute to his wife. He toured all year round, and, unfortunately, ended up divorcing. His songs are about the lyrics, or as you say, the poetic.

[@hastantosantoso1081]

He is The legendary all- time country singer,....Amazing...👍👍👍👍

[@carolineb.2306]

very interesting, thanks a lot, I love John's voice...

[@mikebunner3498]

Valerie, John was wonderful. His music was so gentle and heart-felt. Plus he was a good guitar player. I never met him, but I believe he had a GOOD heart. May GOD bless and keep him. Growing up I knew a young man who adored John. His name is Mark. He too was a tenor and a good guitarist. Not on John's level, but good. Take care lady.....

[@taffybear1]

His cover of Kristofferson's 'Casey's Last Ride' is heartbreaking! "Calypso" is dynamic with gorgeous yodeling, I could go on forever.. he was so good and versatile, and not strictly 'Country'. He was a folk singer, or 'Singer/Songwriter'!

[@jimbrennan750]

There will never be another!

[@deancooling3480]

Lovely review Valerie, thank you. A lesser known song of John's is called 'Windsong' - a truly beautiful song. I think you'll like it (as will your followers). Peace and heart feelings back to you...

[@adriennevanquill1263]

Windsong.... one of my favorites.

[@davidg4595]

There are people from all over the World who come to the USA and the first place they want to go to is West Virginia because Denver made it seem so inviting in Country Roads.

[@dheller777]

Still miss my old friend.

[@raymonortiz3084]

I'm so glad I ran into your channel today. I've loved John Denver's songs since I was a puppy. Love your analysis on his singing style. I hope you can do another analysis on his song of "The Eagle and The Hawk". I find it a challenging song because you need lungs and lots of air and you gotta sing it gloriously like a bird in flight. Thanks. (",)

[@ciaooo125]

leaving on a jet plane and rocky Mountain high pleaseee!❤️❤️❤️

[@1badsteed]

Such a beautiful FOLK song!

[@johnbattles1002]

Paraphrasing Denver's own statement, he wrote this song about his wife Annie, and the amazing thing is that he wrote it within about ten or fifteen minutes while riding in a ski lift. I believe it was in Aspen, Colorado, but unsure about that.

[@bg-id1uo]

Thnx for sharing/ reviewing this great classic 70s song Valarie !Was wondering if u can possibly review another great classic 70s song , Sentimental Lady by the late great Bob Welch ? Thnx

[@akshaygowrishankar7440]

I think his name was originally John Deussendorf (?). He just has a beautiful voice . . . I love it

[@VocalSplendorStudios]

You're right! I couldn't remember it when I was filming. I agree, his voice is so beautiful.

[@sharidyer4332]

Henry John Deutschendorf Jr.

[@charlesnelson7781]

My second favourite make singer of all time,behind Elvis two of the best singers ever.

[@pibly674]

THANK YOU for this.

[@annehyden1088]

my song

[@stevenelson3515]

I have always thought this version of his band, with Steve Weisberg, John Sommers, Dick Kniss and, when the song had percussion, Hal Blaine, was the very best back-up band he had.

[@lesduncan7455]

HARD TO BEAT JOHN DENVER

[@marshabailey772]

Have you reviewed Steve Perry? Spectacular flawless voice.

[@VocalSplendorStudios]

Great suggestion!

[@shanenolan8252]

Thanks great song

[@davidpradarelli1796]

I don't know if he sang with Pavarotti, but he did Perhaps Love with Placido Domingo.

[@jenjoseph9394]

THE SONG THAT I WON'T EVER FORGET FROM JOHN DENVER ,IS THE ONE HE COLLABORATED WITH, WITH THAT TENOR, (can't for the life of me remember his name) AND THE NAME OF THAT SONG , IS,"PERHAPS LOVE", THAT IS A VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL SONG..... PERHAPS YOU COULD DO A SECTION ON THAT, AND SEND ME AN ALERT WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT TO, IT'D BE GREAT .OR I'LL JUST KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR IT OKAY !!???. THANKS MUCH, ...LOVE THIS SITE.

[@judith2412]

Placido Domingo

[@jenjoseph9394]

@@judith2412 yep there you go!!!!! ... thanks MUCH .🌟.

[@barbaraburton8914]

I heard Annie say that Perhaps Love is her favorite love song by John. ❤ Placido's voice and John's just melt into each others.❤

[@emcarnahan]

I’d love to hear Rocky Mountain High, of course ☺️🌟 and Calypso, those are my favourites 🐋

[@VocalSplendorStudios]

I love them, too.

[@iveywebb]

@@VocalSplendorStudios Hello 😊. Just finding your channel & glad I did. Please react to Jazmine Sullivan's Acoustic Live performance of "Pick Up Your Feelings," her Tiny Desk concert, & her Our Story To Tell concert 🙏🏾. If you do one of these, I'd be happy lol.

[@NancyCampbell-rk9rm]

Am I the only one to recognize that the audio of the recording is a little off? Listen to the instrumentals and you might hear what I mean. It's like added vibrato or singing through soap bubbles.

[@shanenolan8252]

Let me die in your arms , that's a very old compliment back in the days when dying of old age or in bed was a shameful thing romantic soldiers would say that they wanted to die in the arms of their wives rather than the battlefield , I read it being said by a Roman soldier 2 thousand years ago

[@dancapell6643]

I think if I remember correctly, didn't John Denver teach students in a classroom how to sing?

[@LarChoc]

There is only one other song about love that compares with this one - and it is “Beautiful Thing” by Grace Vanderwaal who wrote it when she was about 12. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZDPcpqsmM1lhqc It is about her love for her sister and doesn’t even include the word ‘love’. Windex even made a video commercial around her song (have tissues ready if you are a parent). It is called “The Story of Lucy” and won the KZbin Award of the Year

[@Sebastian-fx6yf]

Loved the reaction! Please to Sia alive live Northon show 😋

[@sallybuchanan684]

Mama Cass wrote “Leaving on a Jet Plane,” and John Denver recorded it.

[@davidg4595]

NOPE

[@paulineh4019]

No, JD wrote it. When John and Cass sang it together, Cass JOKED that she had written it.

[@jeremylanier4743]

It was written by john denver

[@cooperfranklin2455]

Supposedly he locked himself in his room with a 6 pack of beer and wrote it.

[@edwardstowers7272]

React to Rocky Mountain High, Poems Prayers & Promises, The Eagle & The Hawk, Matthew, The Wrangell Mountain Song, Calypso, Flying For Me, I’m Sorry, Cowboy’s Delight, For You, How Can I Leave You Again, Follow Me, and the beautiful The Wings That Fly Us Home.

[@bentemjanger1030]

Thanks for another great reaction! This is one of the songs that came in to my heart in the 70's and have stayed there since. And talking about lovesongs, I would love for you to react to another of my favorite love songs, also from the 70's.. or more correct, the 60's :) ..."Until it's time for you to go" - Buffy Sainte Marie...preferly this version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGW1pIFpm8-Wgsk

[@VocalSplendorStudios]

Cool! Great suggestion!

[@premiumgas69]

If you would like an interesting comparison, look for Glen Campbell's version of this song also from the 70's

[@MarcoORVISINI]

ANOTHER PHINY VOICE TEACHER . SUCH A PRETENCIOUS PHONY YOU ARE. SO FULL OF YOURSELF

[@heathergibson2108]

Very few sung live on TOTPs It was all lip-sync. Some refused to do that but I'm not sure if JD was one of them

[@VocalSplendorStudios]

Interesting. Way back in the 70's. Thanks for that.

[@heathergibson2108]

@@VocalSplendorStudios in the beginning it was a union thing believe it or not .. The programme ran for a long time but it wasn't until the 80s that iron maiden refused and sang live. There were other rules too but I forget now .. in the end it the programme became a bit of a dinosaur but I still miss it . Everyone appeared some more than once .

[@heathergibson2108]

@@VocalSplendorStudios the programme started in the 60s by the way . Some great bands appeared over time ..

[@timothysandvik6865]

This one is live. The studio version is quite different. Ok course John and his band could pull it off ..

[@briansmith611]

If you are "going back to 1972" you went to the wrong year to hear Annies Song.... just sayin

[@felixnorman9562]

He wrote & sang this song for his dead wife!

[@barbaraburton8914]

No Annie outlived John.

[@EliLevMusic]

Thanks for uploading. If you have a second come watch my cover of The Lumineers - I'm an independent artist and think you might dig my sound. Really appreciate it!

[@robinreed7207]

John Denver was NEVER a country singer. His music played on rock 'n roll stations never on country. Been listening to him solo and before that in a folk group.
