John Denver's Secret Backup Singer On This 1975 Soft Rock Hit Was A Star With Her Own No. 1s
John Denver had established himself as one of America's most uplifting songwriters by the mid-1970s, with a solo career that made him a star in his own right after early successes writing for acts including Peter, Paul & Mary. Denver maintained solo billing, but even on some of his biggest hits, there were other stars involved behind the scenes.
"Fly Away," for example, Denver's sweet ballad about a woman wanting to leave everything behind and escape from city life, is in fact a duet with an uncredited superstar: Olivia Newton-John. Her vocals feature prominently throughout the song, but surprisingly, 7-inch singles of "Fly Away" contained no notice of her involvement at all, listing only Denver as the singer and songwriter, his producer Milton Okun and co-producer Kris O'Connor.
The Controversial Claim About John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” That Makes This Country Singer “So Mad”
Charles Wesley Godwin has no doubt about what state John Denver penned “Take Me Home, Country Roads” for.
During a recent appearance on the God’s Country podcast, the West Virginia native slammed speculation that the 1971 tune is about Virginia, not West Virginia.
“There’s always that person that’s like, ‘You know, the song is about Virginia or about western Virginia,’” he said. “Those people drive me f**king nuts. It’s the smuggest, most annoying thing ever [when people say], ‘It’s about Virginia, actually.’”
“If you’re coming from D.C., swing through Harper’s Ferry and tell me it’s about Virginia, not West Virginia,” Godwin continued. “It drives me nuts… It’s about West Virginia.”
