Today, as we gather to celebrate what would have been John Denver's 80th birthday, it feels like the perfect time to look back on the life and legacy of this extraordinary artist and human being. John, born on December 31, 1943, in Roswell, New Mexico, captured the hearts of millions with his music and his deep love for nature and humanity.
The 1970s was a fantastic decade for music, with so many different genres setting the charts alight, from Queen to ABBA to David Bowie to Elton John, from classic rock to disco to glam to soul.
