The first time I heard this song, was when it was sung by John Denver. I was so lucky to have heard him in concert before his death. What a great loss America suffered that day. It has been said that he was at his peak when he performed this song, but honestly, he had over a decade of "peak". We will always miss this great person and his wonderful voice. I wish another singer would pick this song up for the 4th, like Josh Groban would be great at it. God Bless America.
This is probably the worst thing JW has ever composed, bloody awful. I heard he almost quit his job cause of this song, cause the first recording the musicians hired to record it couldn't stop making fun of it.. I love JW music, but yea this is garbage.
@heypepper I would love to know where you confirmed it from, the interview I did with him in 1986 while I was at Iowa State University and I asked him about this piece I got a totally different answer.
can u post more from this wonderful special? i love jd and this special was once posed in full and then it was taken down and I wish it was back up thanks if u can!!

Another 4th of July and I think of John Denver. I miss your love of this country, I miss your inspiring voice, and I miss you!

Heypepper, are you a crack-head or something? This is a fine modern patriotic song, and it happens to be one of my favorites!

@heypepper "cause the first recording the musicians hired to record it" It was the Boston Pops wasn't it ?
