Anybody who knows me knows that I’m a big fan of John Henry Deutschendorf. Looking back through my previous posts I was surprised to see that I’ve never done one of his most famous songs, so I’m here to rectify that. John wrote this one while he was still a member of the Chad Mitchell Trio; when Peter, Paul, and Mary covered this in 1969, it effectively launched his solo career. You may know him by another (easier to spell) name: John Denver.
