About John Denver
关于约翰·丹佛
Henry John Deutschendorf， known professionally as John Denver， was an American popular music composer and singer， activist， humanitarian， and pilot。
After growing up in numerous locations with his military family， Denver began his music career in folk music groups in the late 1960s。 His greatest commercial success was as a solo singer， spanning from 1971 to 1975。 Throughout his life Denver recorded and released approximately 300 songs， about 200 of which he composed。 He performed primarily with an acoustic guitar and sang about his joy in nature， his enthusiasm for music， and relationship trials。
Denver’s music appeared on a variety of charts including country ＆ western， the Billboard Hot 100， and adult contemporary， in all earning him 12 gold and 4 platinum albums with his signature songs “Take Me Home， Country Roads”， “Rocky Mountain High”， “Annie’s Song” and “Calypso”。
Denver further starred in films and several notable television specials in the 1970s and 1980s。 In the following decades he continued to record， but also focused on calling attention to environmental issues， lent his vocal support to space exploration， and testified in front of Congress to protest censorship in music。 He was an avid pilot and died while flying his personal aircraft at the age of 53。 Denver was one of the most popular acoustic artists of the 1970s。 His renown in the state of Colorado， which he sang about numerous times and where he lived in Aspen， influenced the governor to name him Poet Laureate of the state in 1974， and for the state legislature to adopt “Rocky Mountain High” as one of its state songs in 2007。
约翰·丹佛是美国老牌的乡村歌手，“乡村音乐的代名词”，其唱片曾获24次金唱片奖及4次白金唱片奖。在美国乡村音乐史上，其地位无人可敌。约翰·丹佛在1976年建立了Windstar 基金会，这是一个非盈利的环境教育和研究组织，为了世界的未来发展而贡献着。丹佛的音乐反映了作为一个以天下为己任的，一个为了提高所有人的生活质量——环境、社会和政治——而努力的人的良心。
丹佛在世界各地都有歌迷，他说过：“音乐把人们带到一起，不管我们说什么语言、我们是什么肤色、我们持有什么样的政见，我们怎样表达爱和信仰，音乐证明：我们是同样的。”丹佛不但用歌喉迷倒了人们，他那灿烂的微笑和戴着金丝边眼镜的“雅皮”形象也深受人们的喜爱，他在不少电视剧和电影里扮演过角色。丹佛的突然离世让无数美国人感到悲哀和遗憾，因为他的歌影响了美国好几代人。
