John Denver on Saturday



In a brand new show, this week we feature the magical voice of John Denver in Concert.

Denver known for such songs as, Annies Song, Rocky Mountain High, Perhaps Love, Country Roads, Calypso and many more shot to fame in late 1960s as the lead singer in The Kingston Trio.  He went solo in the 1970s and his primary focus of songwriting was about nature, especially in his beloved Colorado.   A complicated man with many inner demons, Denver battled both alcoholism and aggression.  He died when his experimental aircraft crashed in 1997.  He had lost his pilots licence six months prior to the accident.

Party in the Park starts on Saturday at 12pm SL time (8pm UK) and John Denver will be on stage an hour later at 1pm SL.
