Annie Martell & John Denver's Fallen Love Story
The adoption of children eventually saved late John Denver's marriage to his then-wife Annie Martell. To begin with, in their epic love story, the two first met in 1966 while playing a concert in Minnesota. At the time, a folk singer was yet to become a global superstar.
"Annie's Song" was written as an ode to Denver's wife at the time, Annie Martell Denver. Denver wrote the song in July 1973 in about ten and a half minutes one day on a ski lift" to the top of Ajax Mountain in Aspen, Colorado.
"Come, let me love you, Let me give my life to you, Let me drown in your laughter, Let me die in your arms," were lines from the song sung by the late former husband of Annie Martell's, John Denver.
Regarding marriage, Annie said "I do" with her man in a lavish ceremony on Sept 6, 1967. Annie's deceased ex-husband, Denver, is one of the most heard names in the music industry, known for his massive hit "Country Roads".
However, fame does not always come with perks. For Annie and Denver, it came with a great price to pay. John's career peaked after the duo tied the knot, but his fame outweighed the love.
Annie could not handle the pressure of excess spotlight; her life considerably became less happy as she asked for a divorce. While having a problem in the relationship, Denver wrote Annie's song dedicated to his then-wife Annie, which kept the marriage alive until 1982, which ended with divorce.
Here's the "Annie's Song" written by John Denver.
Followed by her split from John Denver, Annie is never romantically linked with men. More to this, Martell received some spousal support after her divorce from John Denver.
