Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (December 31, 1943 â€" October 12, 1997),

known professionally as John Denver, was an American

singer-songwriter, record producer, actor, activist, and humanitarian,

whose greatest commercial success was as a solo singer. After

traveling and living in numerous locations while growing up in his

military family, Denver began his music career with folk music groups

during the late 1960s. Starting in the 1970s, he was one of the most

popular acoustic artists of the decade and one of its best-selling

artists. By 1974, he was one of America's best-selling performers, and

AllMusic has described Denver as "among the most beloved entertainers

of his era".Denver recorded and released approximately 300 songs,

about 200 of which he composed. He had 33 albums and singles that were

certified Gold and Platinum in the U.S by RIAA certification with

estimated sales of more than 33 million units. He recorded and

performed primarily with an acoustic guitar and sang about his joy in

nature, his disdain for city life, his enthusiasm for music, and his

relationship trials. Denver's music appeared on a variety of charts,

including country music, the Billboard Hot 100, and adult

contemporary, in all earning 12 gold and four platinum albums with his

signature songs "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "Annie's Song", "Rocky

Mountain High", "Calypso", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", and

"Sunshine on My Shoulders".Denver appeared in several films and

television specials during the 1970s and 1980s. He continued to record

in the 1990s, also focusing on environmental issues by lending vocal

support to space exploration and testifying in front of Congress in

protest against censorship in music. He lived in Aspen for much of his

life where he was known for his love of Colorado. In 1974, Denver was

named poet laureate of the state. The Colorado state legislature also

adopted "Rocky Mountain High" as one of its two state songs in 2007.
