Despite his popularity, some critics dismissed John Denver as a flimsy folk singer. Also, the musician had a distinct style that may not have appealed to the majority of Americans. His onstage appearance in the 1970s included the long blond-haired singer wearing his “granny” glasses. His embroidered shirts featured images of the American West that were popular at the time. Denver appeared on several television shows. He had a Christmas special called Rocky Mountain Christmas, which drew over 60 million viewers and was the highest-rated ABC show at the time.

“I’d bend my principles to support something he wanted of me,” Denver later wrote in his autobiography. And, of course, you sell your soul to the devil every time you bend your principles. Well, another door opens when one closes. Denver began a lifelong friendship with Jim Henson after appearing as a guest on The Muppet Show. Denver hosted the Grammy Awards five times in the 1970s and 1980s and appeared on The Tonight Show as a guest host a few times.
