Who is her father John Denver?

Henry John Deutschendorf Jr, known better as John Denver, was born in Roswell, New Mexico USA, on 31 December 1943 – his zodiac sign was Capricorn, and he held American nationality. He was highly popular in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and was rated amongst the most loved entertainers in those two decades.

John was raised in Roswell alongside his brother Ron, by their father Captain Henry John ‘Dutch’ Deutschendorf Sr. who was a US Army Air Force pilot, and their mother Erma Louise (nee Swope) who was a housewife; John’s father died in 1982, aged 62, and his mother passed away in 2010, aged 88.

The family often moved while John was growing up, mostly because of his father’s job; John attended several high schools, eventually matriculating from Arlington Heights High School in 1961.

He was 11 years old when his grandmother bought him his first acoustic guitar, and in the following 10 years, John learned to play it so well that he started performing at clubs and bars. He soon changed his last name to ‘Denver’ and enrolled at Texas Tech University, but dropped out after two years to focus on becoming a famous singer. He moved to Los Angeles, California in 1963, and sang all around the city, but his debut album “Rhymes & Reasons” was released in 1969, under RCA Records; his two following albums “Take Me to Tomorrow” and “Whose Garden Was This” were both released in 1970.

He became a star in the US after his fourth album, “Poems, Prayers & Promises” was released in 1971, while its single “Take Me Home, County Roads” became a hit. During the ‘70s, John was invited to appear in various shows, including “The Muppet Show”, and he often performed in the UK, although he claimed that he didn’t have a large fanbase there; he had also launched his acting career in the ‘70s, appearing in the episode “The Colorado Cattle Caper” of the police series “McCloud”, and the 1977 comedy movie “Oh, God!”

He was more focused on politics than on music in the ‘80s, and wasn’t satisfied with the Reagan administration; John was still active in Reagan’s campaign against hunger, and was for his work awarded The Presidential World Without Hunger Award. John also battled to expand the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and opposed oil drilling there.

He was the narrator of the 1990 documentary environmental show “In Partnership With Earth”, and published his autobiography “Take Me Home” in 1994. Not long before his death, John released his children’s train album “All Aboard!” in August 1997.

He married his first wife Annie Martell in 1967, and after they divorced in 1982 and their property was divided, John nearly choked her, and cut their marital bed with a chainsaw. He was married to his second wife, Jesse’s mother Cassandra Delaney, from 1991 to 1993.

He died in a plane crash on 12 October 1997, when his homebuilt plane Rutan Long-EZ which he was piloting crashed into Monterey Bay. John had close to 3,000 hours of piloting experience, but wasn’t allowed to fly as his license was suspended because of his alcohol addiction; there was a suspicion that he actually took his own life..
