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.

Cowboy's Delight Lyrics
John Denver
Sing songs of the sunrise
Into the night
The stars as a timepiece
Make it alright
Make friends with the darkness
Talk to the Moon
And when the light lifts
You can let out a tune
Been to the mountains
Climbed through the sky
Shouldered their widness
Watched their gold fly
Shared in their treasure
Shook at their might
Spoke softly of wonders
Cowboy's Delight
Sing songs of the sunrise
Into the night
The song of the mountain
Cowboy's delight
The stars as a timpiece
Make it alright
Sing songs of the mountains
Cowboy's Delight
