@oleeb It's been a while since I put this together so I can't remember exactly where I got the pics from but I spend hours trawling through public domain sites.. sorry I can't be more helpful.
@oleeb no indication Denver was a Republican. I recall he was pretty unhappy with Republicans in Congress at one point in my youth. Maybe another one of those myths?
The subject, music & her voice shared. RARE! It's raw, the pictures tells the story. As beautiful as it was sung, that was background, to the story told.
Not certain who shared this, but SO generous!! Thank you.
I just attended the Grace Carroll Rocky Mountain Labor School, where we learned the history of this song. Thank you for posting this beautiful version of the song, and the historical pictures you have included are wonderful. I wish more people were aware of the hisory of the working people in this country. Thank you .
John is awesome! I miss him too! :) Hey, there is new album out next month 'John Denver Live At Cedar Rapids' CD. Check it out on Amazon! Peace and Love!
You really did a wonderful job here !!! why don't you post it as a video response to mine !!! It really brings out the essence of the poem !!! and as usual the combination of John and Marion is perfect !!! take care !!!
O my god. Thank you for putting this song up. I haven't hear it in 15 years. I couldn't find it anywhere. It was me and my dads song

Ironic that John Denver was a Republican huh? Still, a nice rendition of a fabulous people's anthem.
Say, where did you get all those pictures? Are they available on the web?

I grew up on John Denver and for some reason this song came back to me today after like 15 years. Thanks for posting:)

Her voice sounds seductive, right? Sometimes, it makes me think bad of her.

No, it's "sweated"---and the images of children make me think of the Missouri senator who wants to repeal big parts of child labor laws.

Our lives shall not be sweated, not sweeted or sweetened as this group sings... did they miss the meaning of the line and the word?

@taddyd1 No, I believe that's his second ex wife singing back up vocals, if I remember correctly. It's on the Higher Ground album.
