John Denver and Steve Irwin......Sunshine on my Shoulder

[buukittyfilms]

They will always be my two childhood heroes. I grew up watching Steve's show every morning and listened to John's music almost all the time. Thank you for making this video, featuring the both of them. Rest in peace John Denver and Steve Irwin.

[sbbinahee]

God rest Steve & John.Strange he looked alot like Denver . I always drew that comparison while watching Irwin on his show. Two great people gone but not forgotten..

[visionbear]

This you tube to me with song reminds of statements by both John Denver and Steve Erwin , " you must embrace life and live... you must love the ones the most close to you each moment you can " There is so much difference between the salty crock, the kangaroo, the bighorn sheep, the eagle and the hawk . John Denver' s Annie and Jeff Irwin's Terri were the stabilizing forces of love that supported , but could not restrict either one. Now i wonder what Terri, Bindy , little John will add.

[xxkathrynxx1]

Thank you, InaYashu. What an amazing heart & sould youmust have to have created sucha beautiful image of the rythm of your mind.

[vichopez]

Dos de las mas lamentables perdidas de mi vida, una en la música y la otra en la conservación de la vida..... Long live Steve and John.

[737dl]

JOHN DENVER& STEVE IRWIN left so much to the world, if only the rest of us could give something back, no matter how small, what an impact we could make. They say it takes a village to raise a child, I say it takes all of us to make a better place for men, women, & children. It starts with Love, compassion and the willingness to reach out to our fellow man . Simple , easy to do, worth a try. Something to think about, does not cost any thing, but time, and love.

[TheKendralee11]

Reminds me of Unkle Marvin and Marvin! Makes me sad, makes me happy! But I love it! I can remember Unkle Marvin singin john denver since i was born!

[calvinnewspaper]

*Sigh, both died when they shouldn't have. Both are terribly missed :(

[fourwinds4444]

This is absolutely beautiful...thank you for putting this together.....

I agree both these men were an inspiration! They loved life...they left a tremendous legacy of love & gratitude for life......I miss them both....but so so grateful they were here....

thanks for putting this together!

[nancypeterson100]

Awesome video of my two favorite Wildlife Warriors. They are both soaring with the eagles and very much alive to those of us who love them and the wonderful and positive work they did. Beautiful songs and beautiful men! Thanks for bringing them together.

[JOHNDfan1]

Wow! excellent Tribute! Thank-you from a long time John Denver fan & Steve Irwin fan :)

[yana72able]

good job! i like it. JD and SIrwin looks alike a little and they both shared same passion. I love them both. thanks for this wonderful videos.

[thomasbaron06]

they were both such extraordinary men,

rest in peace John and Steve =')

[hicknan219]

The world is a sadder place now that these two are gone! Fly high John and Steve. !

[misschameleon1]

@hicknan219 We should celebrate how much our lives are enriched because of each of them. I can't imagine my world not having their imprint in it. There would be a very large hole. Yes I wish we had more of what they had to offer but i am happy with what we had at least that much.

[JKKillerB]

I'm 48 & my favorite childhood song was "Country Roads" (by J. Denver)

My favorite show on TV used to be "The Crocodile Hunter".

How ironic, huh?

[pilothanss]

may they RIP :(

[nixthetiger]

I believe John Denver and Steve Irwin could be part of the same soul-system, for lack of a better term. I guess it doesn't matter, really. They both had great passion. The first song on here is so powerful. I've always loved it. Damn, I'm a sentimental slob. Here comes the water works.

[westpapuanmob]

Peace

[sparkybdj]

Fantastic tribute to Two outstanding men....They are now and always wil be missed !!!! RIP

[waddleduckie1]

John Denver and Steve Irwin. Both legends for their humanitarian cause. One, a singer, composer, and actor, other animal preservation specialist, and naturalist.

[soyousay8990]

thank you for this, they were both such special people. The beauty of their smiles and words are so missed by me and many others.

[LD088]

I was looking for some John Denver and came upon this. thank you so muck for this beautiful tribute for two of my favorite nature warriors. They will live on forever in the hearts and minds of nature lovers, such as I.

[LYNXVAL]

I miss Steve Irwin! He has such love for for Animals in theWild! I hope we can continue his work!! His Daughter , Bindi is older now and she is in the Free Willie movie! Nice!!

[195867]

It is strange but i have always thought that John & Steve looked like brothers

It just my thoughts they gave so much before they died too soon.

Dermot.

[MrGerardof]

No more words than great, thanks.

[zomit]

John and Steve R.I.P

[medtrans9]

I've always loved both of these guys for many reasons. I never realized till Steve left us how similar he and John Denver wear, both in appearance and their love of the earth and all of nature. I miss them so much!! I was quite happy seeing a video like this, thank you so much!!

[RidesAPaintedHorse]

They truly saw the world as it is. If only more of people would take up their cause and treat the earth with respect.....RIP John and Steve

[sweetpea027]

I had said in the pass that John Denver & Steve Erwin were two animal lovers . I loved them most for that . Love for our earth & God' creatures. Love the rare kitten & wolf pictures. Missing them both always & forever. Thanks for this share. ~Ava~

[ben909ben]

never knew much about Steve Irwin, but you look at his face when he gets up close to any animal, from a crocodile, to his own daughter,

and so much love shines through he looks like he's got a whole choir inside him

what a man!

[demonmasacar]

these two person had something very rear in them, its called love for nature & humanity!! i pray for the two souls....rest in peace!! 4ever!!!!

[undesirables]

eyez and earz miss you both guys. rest in peace

[c00per69]

Steve & John are reborn in heaven so rejoice for their new world. Find comfort in renewal. A loved Anglo-Catholic

[nrpille]

I think the main thing these men had in common is that they got up every day and did exactly what they wanted to do and they found a way to get paid for it! Wish I could do that!

[WarriorSage2]

@nrpille Don't wish. Create what you want with your word and take action on that declaration. You have the same personal power that these two awesome beings and many before them have manifested. Namaste !!!

[Northernstar9370]

absolutely wonderful job! Thanks for posting it!

[Angelab2]

[forestchild23]

Beautiful tribute to two wonderful men. I noticed how like JD Steve was when I watched his programmes after John died. Not just the looks but the enthusiasm for life and love of the natural world.

[TheChiwhiz]

I really miss him!

[Kmahabir]

[finonm7]

If you see some of the pictures of John Denver and Steve Irwin they look alot alike.

[Farrukhw]

Waooo, what a combination...

one is in love with Music and other is in love with Nature and Nature got a Music which is the most loving thing...

[Farrukhw]

I'm amazed to see that Mr. Denver's songs seems to be for Mr. Irwin.

Beautiful...

[skigame]

has any one every realized that john Denver looks a lot like Steve Erwin? there were two great people:)

[kyliesmiley16]

This is not Sunshine On My Shoulders, but "You Say That The Battle Is Over"

Beautiful tragic to two great men :)

[hisexcellencyq]

Sunshine on my shoulders plays after Battle is Over.

[juliobarrioplata]

very good vid

[snakesteve68]

Oh thank you for this tribute--I cried watching this! Steve was my hero and John's music and life were such an inspiration. Both of these men made a great difference in human and animal life. Sometimes people are born that have a special connection with nature, a connection to life that is hard to explain. Steve and John had this connection and the world is a better place because of their lives. I miss them both and I will always be a warrior for wildlife and an voice for the voiceless!

[cranberrygrammy]

Beautiful....does anyone know if they ever met? They are surely enjoying the beauty of Heaven together.

[bdawk20fan]

Is it just me or do they look incredibly alike

[MamaBear1729]

your tribute to them was a wonderful gift, as they were & still are to all of us. Blessings

[cbednar74]

Beautiful Tribute to 2 great Icons I was just thinking about both of these guys recently because I was telling my wife & mother about developing a program in the future about the education of wildlife both for myself & anyone who was interested in joining to try to continue their legacy!!! Thank You again for this Beautifully Sad Tribute!!!! RIP John,& Steve you are missed greatly!!!!

[cocoathemug]

Both who left a legacy and who will greatly be missed. John who knew how to touch hearts through his songs. Steve who changed the way how we saw crocodiles as a beautiful animal instead of a predator. Both men lived their lives in what they belived for -- the world needs more people like them.

[mtsthelensgirl]

This is a beautiful tribute to two wonderful men that seemed to be brothers of the soul. Their early deaths were a huge loss to us all. Thankfully, their images, words and songs will live on to inspire and teach us. We miss you John and Steve!

[Hercules1982]

Well done...and well deserved by both men.

[rottweilerdoberman]

Great Video of (2) of my Favorite People and some of my favorite Music.....John Denver and Steve Irwin will be forever MISSED!!!..

[astikennels]

Brillant, sweet, touching.

Wish some of the pictures lasted a touch bit longer as they were beautiful, so in touch with the music, dynamic!

Thank you!

[flashyblond]

John Denver sang my safely through my teen years. I too learned to play guitar singing his songs. I'm also an animal-lover and was shocked and saddened by Steve Irwin's sudden and tragic death. What is that Billy Joel song...only the good die young.

A lovely tribute that brought a tear to my eye. Thanks ever so much.

[Gairlochan]

Thanks for putting this up mate! Two wonderful, passionate men who I will mourn 'til the day I die.

Until recently I lived literally around the corner from Steve's zoo in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, but I never managed to make it to the zoo to see him. I'm a bedridden invalid but I could have made it in a wheelchair; now I'll never have the chance. There's a lesson there...

Our local community was shocked beyond belief: like me they thought he would live for ever, he was so vibrantly alive.

[Gairlochan]

Continued from the paragraph below: As for John, I've played guitar since age 8 and Iearned to play singing his songs. Because I took my guitar everywhere went and we had similar faces, hair and glasses and an identical repertoire, the kids at school used to call me John Denver.

[pinkandviolet]

Fantastic pictures here. Great video!

[freshoj4u]

this rocks, you rock steve and john!

[kaydrastar]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I loved John Denver and Steve Irwin and I miss them both greatly.

[lizzieb63]

Thanks for taking time to make this lovely tribute to two men who I admired enormously and who touched so many peoples lives with their own unique magic.

[laura060366]

Great tribute and I agree - Steve and John were two of the greatest men who ever lived.

[sandinmyears]

I'm glad I'm not the only person who's noticed their uncanny resemblance.

[Nikahnskwew]

oh, good! I was thinking the same thing. They should have met each other

[issieb123]

Such a beautiful tribute for two such wonderful men. Thank-you so much for posting.

[Yamilex54]

Some how, from some where, in heaven don't you know these two brothers are creating some awesome adventures and songs.. I can't wait to see the again one day

[firefliesbdazzle]

This is a beautiful, touching tribute to two of the best who have passed. I loved them both and my life was so inspired by them. If only I could leave as much behind for our beautiful world. RIP Steve and John the sunshine makes me think of you both with a smile and not tears.

[sixtoomanycatz]

That was very cool. I loved them both as well. Beautiful job.

I met John Denver at a booksigning in Milwaukee years ago. He was signing his autobiographies and I got a couple pics with him. It was priceless.

[alexchiswell]

or maybe follow me.

[alexchiswell]

two great guys who look like brothers.

Great tribute idea.

suggest a different song maybe starwood in aspen or annies song cheers alex

[RattlerMan33]

I never realized that they do favor each other. real good men miss them so much.

[98Harleygirl]

Beautiful tribute to two people who gave much too many! With the love of life, nature and the world!

[lovejd73]

Far-out ... John and Steve, two kindred souls. Both wildlife warriors who are truly missed -- hope you're watching over all of us from above!

[dakotart24]

very nice tribude brought a tear to my eyes may they r.i.p thank's for the memories

[Annonymous10]

Beautiful slideshow.

What a sad loss - both of them.

: (

[chrisknightrules]

where was the pic at 5:51 taken?Anybody knows?

[MamaCalypso]

This is an Amazing Tribute to of the Greatest Conservations and passionate performers of our time... Their respective legacy of "Do as I Say NOT as I Speak" shows EXACTLY just what "One Man Can DO"... Crikey! what a way to "Fly Away" and leave such an Imprint on this "...Little Beauty" our world can be again!!!

[drbcook]

People like Steve ang John made a big differece in this cruel world love em both.

[SoarinRockies]

Beautifully done. What a nice tribute to both of these fine men.

[quinnk01]

blaaaaa! pulled me in and seduced me at the same time!  hmmmm...

[rockieskris]

luv this video

[firstrala]

Thank you for your video and music! LOVE STEVE and JOHN! :D

[ChefHannah715]

They look alike like brothers they are both my idols these videos are great can you post more like them I love them alot thanks

[weirdguy75]

I still can't watch him anymore. his death hit me harde. i'm still hurting

[brotherdevil]

man i tell you we all do. god bless steve. he was a true hero and will be greatly missed.

[patrileys]

I agree two of the most admirable human beings that I'm aware of at least. Although there are many wonderful people doing great deeds in life.......these two are AMAZING HUMAN BEINGS. I would like to think I'm following in their footsteps. Singer Sonwriter Patrick John "Denver" Riley AKA Pat Riley. Peace and Happy Trails to you all.

[Treelvr2]

Thank you! I always feel those two were kindred spirits! You can't help but think of one without the other. They were similar in looks and had a passion for the environment & animals! So sad both died too young.

[AndreaM26]

Parabéns pela bela e merecida homenagem!

[DeenarRah]

Finallly someone agrees with me about these two great men!!! Certainly they were brothers in spirit and action. Looked mo much alike too! Two of my greatest heroes. I miss them both :(

[blackwhimsy]

Twin sons of different mothers!Both looked alike,both loved nature,both left us too soon.

[brotherdevil]

totally agreed. two brothers in conservation who loved nature who went home too soon. THEY'RE MESSAGE MUST NOT BE FORGOTTEN. we will miss them. thank you JD and Steve. you were two heroes who should not be forgotten. god bless you JD AND Steve. we will miss you.

[brotherdevil]

y is it always the good ones that die young, Steve and JD why did they leave so early. they're work will always remain. with the wild in their eyes and it is they who must die and it is we who measure the cost. well we will continue to for eternity. two heroes left the world, NEVER FORGOTTEN

[sop1111]

Very Nice we all need more people like John and Steve . It helps to know we are the fans of them there for we are nice people to They bring out the best in us May the world find some more men like them

[brotherdevil]

two gr8 heroes of conservation, i will miss JD's songs my world will be darker for their absence and the world will be darker for the mans absence as well. Steve Irwin gone is a tragety for me and the whole world the best at saving crocs and making life fun. two best conservationists god bless you guys i'll miss them. R.I.P

[ilovemaniototo]

Both of these men were great favourites of mine. It is a beautiful tribute my 7 year old Grandson will love this.

[drbcook]

Miss both of these guys,they were true gifts.

[mcote1111]

Both great men, but it's too bad that the guy who actually wrote the song is not mentioned anywhere. Dave Mallett, a folksinger and songwriter from Maine, is a great songwriter who should be much better known than he is.

[LornaJaneMurray]

this is lovely - some of the nicest photos i've even seen. well done.

[LazyBadgerHC715]

I love this song I played it in 9th grade Hi I am Hannah from Guilford CT and were r u from? How opld r u? I am 16 and what insterment do u play? I play viola thanx 4 posting it

[mom1mo]

brothers from a different mother. Each saw the beauty and miracle of our mother, the earth. Fabulous.

[texasborn79]

Thank you for making this video tribute. I admire both of these men.

[poetrymaster]

thank you this is beautiful, i totally agree with you, these two were diamonds and i guess they will be shining brightly tonight in the heavens.

[kayphipps]

Heaven must be a better place now. Good men, both of them. What great gifts they gave us.

[Rkymtnmary]

Oh how this sad and sorry world misses their voices...something tells me they'd be heartbroken knowing the state we're in.

[mistikay]

This is a beautiful tribute to John and Steve. Two men that I greatly admired. Steve gave me a totality different out look on snakes. John gave me all that wonderful poetry that I have loved ever sense I was a little kid. The Nature pictures, were they pictures that John took? I hear that he was a talented photographer.

[dwanystar]

A wonderful tribute to both of these amazing men who gave so much of themselves to the world. Until I saw this I didn't even think about the connection between them. I miss them both. And yes, this world is poorer without them in it. My favorite story is the day that my kitten, Sunshine, was placed on my shoulder over 25 years ago. She died at the good old age of 23 a couple of years ago and I miss her, too!

[angel21901]

Incredibly inspirational...thank you. I work with animals as much as can to help save and preserve life of all kinds, andtese two men were two of my biggest inspirations...the world is a better place because of the footprints they left for us to follow. Thank you sooo much for making this!

[Aspen1987]

aspen1987  Thanks for posting this. A nice tribute to two great guys...

[dudehorner]

I'd not heard this song before - thank you and amen

[InuYashaRox2006]

=) Thats mroe the reason I made the video....they were two good people and they both were alot alike

[galaxybabe]

Wonderful. How alike they both are! What tragedies the world lost them too soon. Two souls now brightening Heaven. Thank you for posting this, it's made my day.

[mmb75]

Great pics of JD i've never seen before...thanks!!!

[GothAngelRocks]
