I'd started to watch this thinking it would be a television program featuring John Denver in sort of a concert. What I got was an hour-long biography, and I'm glad I saw it.

Yes, it did feature a lot of Denver's music, but of course in segments interspersed with the voiceovers of the narrator and people from his live.

You get insight from Annie (of Annie's Song), his second wife, his younger brother, his son, his second wife, Jerry Weintraub (who managed him for many years ... and others.

You'll find out things about his early years you probably didn't know about, and sadly, also about his last years.

It's an interesting and moving story.
