About Ted Vigil
About John Denver Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (December 31, 1943 – October 12, 1997), known professionally as John Denver, was an American singer-songwriter, activist, and humanitarian. Denver began his music career with folk music groups during the late 1960s. Starting in the 1970s, he was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the decade, and one of its best-selling artists. By 1974, he was one of America's best-selling performers.
Denver recorded and released approximately 300 songs, about 200 of which he composed. He recorded and performed primarily with an acoustic guitar and sang about his joy in nature, disdain for city life, and relationship trials. Denver appeared in several films and television specials during the 1970s and 1980s, including the 1977 hit Oh, God!, in which he starred alongside George Burns. He continued to record into the 1990s, and testified in front of Congress to protest censorship in music. He lived in Aspen, Colorado for much of his life, and he was known for his love of the state. In 1974, Denver was named poet laureate of the state. An avid pilot, Denver died at age 53 in a single-fatality crash while piloting a recently-purchased light plane. -Wikipedia
