John Denver was undeniably one of the most successful artists in the seventies, with a slew of platinum albums and million selling singles. He sold 33.5 million albums in the U.S. alone and had six million selling singles, with four of them reaching number one. However, his sound was predictable and his shameless marketing made him an omnipresent figure during that same time frame.

Read this biography to discover many things that you do not know about him. It’s a great read from start to finish.
