52 years ago TODAY, sunshine finally got its own spotlight when John Denver released “Sunshine on My Shoulders” on October 22, 1973! The song first appeared on his 1971 album “Poems, Prayers & Promises.” Denver re-recorded it for “John Denver’s Greatest Hits” in 1973 and issued that new version as the single, which climbed the Billboard Hot 100 and became his first song to hit number one. #nostalgia #musichistory #70s #70smusic #70sthrowback | Classic Nerd
