My mom became paralyzed in the 80s, and one day she called me, close to tears, to play a song for me over the telephone, because it touched her so much. It was this song. Thank you, Michael.

John had the rare quality of truly loving what he did. He was as touched by his talents as we the listeners were and it came across in all his music. I will see him again in Heaven..miss you John

I did this song for a recital once playing the guitar. I did very good. I heard someone say after I was done, "there goes my solo."

@Moonlightwolfpup I felt so scared just a minute ago--this world has alot of people who only care about the things that pass away. LOVE is the only thing that matters! that lasts forever. John Denver's music just makes me not afraid anymore.

I think,when people die,and they come into the heaven,they hear John Denver singing this beautiful Song.
Awesome video Michael, it gives me the chills!! I have been missing all of these great videos. This song would be a good one to make a video of. Thanks for the post.

I have always believed this woman was the best harmony on this song-- who is she? I saw JD in concert in my hometown in June of '91, just a couple months after this, and met him on the golf course after the concert. He was as gracious as you would expect and shook my hand. Last concert I attended was June of '97. So glad I got that last chance...

@melindaross64 Thank you for your kind comment.
The lady singing backing vocals is believed to be Conrad (or 'Connie') Reeder, who sang with John through the 1980s and into the 1990s. You will see video of her singing with John at the Birmingham, England, concert rom 1986. This concert is included in the recent DVD boxset 'John Denver Around the World Live'.
Conrad's husband is Roger Nicholls, who was engineer on many of John's later albums as well as the recent 'Live in the USSR' CD.
