John Denver was an American guitarist, singer, composer, actor, humanitarian, and environmentalist. Born on December 31, 1943 in Roswell, New Mexico and tragically died on October 12, 1997 at Pacific Grove, California in a plane crash. He is widely recognized as a cultural icon of the American West and played a significant role in popularizing acoustic folk music during the singer-songwriter movement of the mid-to-late 20th century.

Denver started his career as a folk singer in the 1960s before embarking on a successful solo country and pop career throughout the 1970s and 80s. His talent led him to become one of the top five best-selling artists of all time with numerous gold and platinum albums in the United States.

In addition to his musical achievements, John Denver was also known for his dedication to environmental causes. He was an active advocate for conservation efforts and used his platform to raise awareness about important issues affecting our planet.

Vinyl LP pressing including digital download. John Denver's Greatest Hits was released in late 1973 for the holiday shopping season. The collection included material from his earlier days as a songwriter (going back to 1965 on "For Bobbie") to his later hit "Rocky Mountain High". Greatest Hits is important historically because it contained new, revisionist recordings of several songs. Notable new versions included "Leaving on a Jet Plane", "Starwood in Aspen", "Follow Me", "Rhymes and Reasons", "The Eagle and the Hawk", "Sunshine On My Shoulders" and "Poems, Prayers, and Promises". Denver explained this himself in the liner notes by saying that he had picked the numbers most requested in his concerts, but that "I felt that some of these songs had grown a bit, that I am singing better than I was four or five years ago, and that I would like to treat some of the songs a little differently than I had in the original recordings."
