John Denver live in Pittsburgh (1993) - Shanghai Breezes (with intro)

[LarryRickenbacker]

I was a senior in high school when this song hit AM radio; I'm thinking it might've been his last hit single..

@LarryRickenbacker I think you are correct about 'Shanghai Breezes'. This beautifiul song was his last hit record, though only a minor hit. By this time he was just not getting the radio airplays that he dererved.

No matter what his personal life included or did not include I still appreciated his music. thanks for posting

if i remember, it was either this song or Perhaps Love that ever got any significant radio airplay....too bad that John Denver peaked too high in 75/76, so much of his bes songs came much much later

He wrote this song on his 14th wedding anniversary which was June 9, 1981 - on his 15th wedding anniversary 1 year later Annie served him with divorce papers and moved him to the guest house!! Ouch!!!

Great song!!!
