I was born on a beautiful island, and therefore I am an Island Boy but I enjoy eclectic taste in music. Take this recording made over more than a half-century ago.
Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. (December 31, 1943 – October 12, 1997), aka John Denver, was an American country and folk singer, songwriter, and actor. He was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the 1970s and one of the best-selling artists overall in that decade. AllMusic has called Denver "among the most beloved entertainers of his era"
In 1993, Denver pleaded guilty to a drunken driving charge and was placed on probation. In August 1994 while still on probation, he was again charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence after crashing his Porsche into a tree in Aspen.
In October 1995, following Denver's drunk-driving conviction, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) directed Denver to abstain from alcohol if he wished to continue flying airplanes. In 1996, the (FAA) determined that Denver was medically disqualified from operating an aircraft due to his failure to abstain from alcohol.
Although a July 1997 trial resulted in a hung jury on the second DUI charge, prosecutors later decided to reopen the case, which was closed only after Denver died in October 1997.
