Hello everyone! I just joined Morrissey-solo, and was wondering if any of you could help me out with something? In 1997, John Denver released his last album before he died, "All Aboard!"
View attachment 35187
The album is mostly a compilation of popular children's song along with some Denver originals--in addition to all these great songs was supposed to be a Denver/Morrissey duet of "Annie's Song", one of Morrissey's favorite John Denver songs of all time. For some reason, this gem was left off the album and not much has been said about it. My grandmother was actually friends with an Episcopalian minister, who baptized Denver's children and was also one of his very good friends. He was the one who told me of the song's alleged existence and that Denver and Morrissey met in Denver, Colorado (of all places!) when the Smiths toured the states in the '80s. Denver's son, Zach, was actually a big Smiths fan, and he took Zach to see the Smiths when they were in Colorado. After the show, Denver told Morrissey how much he enjoyed the show and Morrissey, in turn, told Denver how much he admired him. Then, started a friendship that lasted until Denver's death and allegedly spawned the duet that I have long sought after!
If you have any information on this duet, please let me know! Any help is much appreciated!
