John Denver is my favorite singer, and this is my favourite song, but I recognize that the interpretation of Olivia is fantastic. Congratulations for your video.

@GreatestSingerEver01 Thanks, I appreciate it. They had very good chemistry as "Fly Away" would attest, and John in fact would ask rhetorically in concert where Olivia was when he was ready to do that song. There was a Colorado HOF event about a month ago that featured John as an inductee along with Red Rocks amphitheatre, and she was amongst the performers. I can't remember which song she did. There are photos of the event on Facebook. They were very good and close friends.

@jrssjdca Perfectly said. I get the feeling from John and Olivia's song Fly Away, that they were good friends. I think he was perfectly fine with Olivia singing his songs. I'm a big fan of them both and think they should have done more together. They both are awesome.

@ScattySafari Music is very subjective, so opinions can vary and lie in accordance with each person's perspective. That being said, many JD fans feel that NO ONE can or should ever sing his songs because he was the best at singing his material. That sentiment limits things quite a bit. He was extremely flattered when other people did sing his songs because that meant they got something out of it. I love anyone singing JD's song AS LONG AS they do it justice. Olivia does that and more.

@Hannahorse715 Hannah,sweetie,that's not entirely accurate.Bill Danoff & Taffy Nivert did indeed write the 1st verse &part of the chorus,but then they got stuck.1 night in 1970,after JD &Bill & Taffy's band Fat City,finished a gig at the Cellar Door, & ended up having a car accident.JD broke his thumb.After this ordeal & a trip to the hospital,they were all wired.So they stayed up all night & finished it.JD wrote the bridge & most of the second verse.It's ASCAP credit is Danoff-Nivert-Denver
Unbelievably wonderful!! More than well done!! Thanks so much, thanks you!!!!!!!!!!

@Physical926 You are perfectly correct! Olivia is the greatest singer, ever! She is a great songwriter, actress, humanitarian and mother. We all need good people in our lives that lift us up. Olivia is one of the most genuinely good-hearted people. I'm proud to be a fan.
