John was also the first artist from the West to do a multi-city tour of Mainland China, in October 1992. He was somewhat astonished to discover how popular and well known his songs were with the Chinese. "Country Roads," he was told, "is the most famous song written in the West." John also contributed his talents to the benefit of many charitable and environmental causes and has received numerous civic and humanitarian awards over the years. Today, millions of fans, old and new, enjoy the work of this extraordinary performer. 30 albums and three decades after he began, John Denver’s music is as relevant as ever. His humanitarian work continues to strengthen our global village, and his dynamic celebration of life, spirit and nature is a powerful inspiration to us all.
