I own every John Denver CD available and this one is clearly the best collection of his songs out there.

Many of the performances on this CD were recorded by John Denver in the 80's and 90's. These songs are much clearer and better than his originals in the 70's. John's voice had matured very much and he was able to give much more stirring renditions of his songs.

Do yourself a favor and buy this CD...you won't be disappointed.

The song you are referring to is called "For Baby (For Bobbi)" The title is written like that because John originally wrote it for a girl named Bobbi. Later, he changed it to the "For Baby" because it sounded more like a lullaby. It was written in 1965 and first appeared on a Chad Mitchell Trio album titled, "That's the Way It's Gonna Be." The album was released again under the title "Violets of Dawn", also in 1965. Hoping to capitalize on John's popularity, the album was re-released in 1974 as "Beginnings...The Mitchell Trio Featuring John Denver." Liner notes show the song to have been written by "H. J. Deutschendorf, Jr." I had the pleasure of seeing John Denver in concert 3 times in the 1970's, once in the 1980's and last in the 1990's. I was looking forward to seeing him again in 2000. I guess it will just have to be on video.

This collection is a great way for anyone to listen to a sampling of John Denver's work. The movie was not that great, mostly because of the close-ups of Chad Lowe mouthing the words to John's songs. I think it would have been better to have used shots from behind him, or from a distance instead. Seeing the songs I'm so familiar with coming from a difference face made me a bit uncomfortable.

John Denver left behind a magical musical treasure, and this CD weaves it all together to form a beautiful tapestry. From the touching opening notes of "Annie's Song" to the soaring chorus of "Flying for Me," this CD will keep your heart and senses enraptured with it's delicate, simple style. These songs are favorites of all of John's fans, but they are even more touching in light of his sudden, tragic death. Songs like "Leaving, on a Jet Plane," and "Poems, Prayers, and Promises" now bring a different kind of tear to the eye. Thank you, John, for touching our lives.

Even though the movie was really bad, this colletion is great. For anyone who doesn't know that much about John's music and doesn't want to buy a bunch of different albums. Oh, for that guys question, Chad was lip-singing to This Old Guitar (Which John didn't write until the 70's)

I received this CD as a gift back in 2000. I listened to it so much I wore it out! Just recently bought the download. This music speaks to me like no other can. When i am feeling down this is waht i listen to, when i am feeling happy this is what i listen too. You cant go wrong with a little Johnny D in your life!
