  He wasn't considered country at the time.  He was classed as a folk singer.

  In my opinion, this man had one of the purist, cleanest, and clearest voices in the history of American music

  It’s hard to overstate how popular John Denver’s was in the 70s and 80s. He was a cultural icon.

  John Denver was one of the best folk singers.  He was not always accepted in country music.   His talent is missed.  He was a terrific writer and singer.

  My White&Hispanic nephew, overseas in the Marines, said he heard "Country Roads" play in a bar, and most of the different vets stood up and loudly sang along with John Denver and him! 🍻

  To me, this song has always been about coming home after a time away. It doesn't matter where you are coming to. It's home.

  I was born and raised in WV now almost 70 and living far away.  Cannot help but get a little choked up every time I hear this song.  One of the great traditions at West Virginia University is the playing of this song after every  sports victory at home.  It's not unusual for the visiting team to stay on the field/floor/etc to listen to the fans and players belt this song out. ❤❤❤

  1971 Pulling out of the high school parking <br>It after graduation...6 girls in a station wagon on our way to spend a week at the beach (a tradition), windows rolled down, this song blaring on the radio while we sang along at the top of our lungs. An unforgettable musical background moment to my life...to which 53 years later I still sing at the top of my lungs.

  John Denver was his own genre. &nbsp;A bit folk, a bit country, a bit pop. &nbsp;He always spoke from and to the heart. &nbsp; He had a way to invite everyone, regardless of age or ethnic background into his world through his lyrics of love and joy that brought peace into your heart.

  I was at the first FARM AID in 1985, 70+ thousand in attendance, incredible bands,one after the other. The performer who garnered the biggest audience response, by singing every song he sang word for word at the top of our lungs....Mr John Denver. It truly was the highlight of the day.

  &quot;Annie&apos;s Song&quot;, which John Denver wrote for his wife, is one of THE most beautiful love songs you&apos;ll ever hear. Even opera tenor Placido Domingo made a cover version of it.
