John Denver was born with the name Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. on Dec. 31, 1943, in Roswell, N.M. One of America's most popular performers in the '70s, Denver's rise to fame began when he was "discovered" in a Los Angeles nightclub. He initially joined the Back Porch Majority, a nursery group for the renowned New Christy Minstrels, but, tiring of his role there, he left for the Chad Mitchell Trio where he forged a reputation as a talented songwriter.

All this joy, all this sorrow
All this promise, all this pain
Such is life, such is being
Such is spirit, such is love
City of joy, city of sorrow
City of promise, city of pain
Such is life, such is being
Such is spirit, such is love
World of joy, world of sorrow
World of promise, world of pain
Such is life, such is being
Such is spirit, such is love
All this joy, all this sorrow
All this promise, all this pain
Such is life, such is being
Such is spirit, such is love
Such is spirit, such is love
