In 1975, John Denver was the biggest star in America. He even won an Emmy that year for his television special. Back then, life felt a lot simpler for most of us. People spent their time outside in nature or gathered around a quiet campfire.
John took a song from 1964 and turned it into an anthem for everyone who loved the peace of the countryside. This beautiful melody is called ‘Today.’
