Question ID: 747621
We are having a wedding and are looking for a recording of "Follow
Me", the song by John Denver, but performed by some other artist.  The
only recording that I've found by John Denver himself is the one on
"The Best of Rocky Mountain Collection" album which was more of an
ambient concert recording and just isn't of the quality that we would
like to replay sometime in our wedding ceremony (it was sung by a
vocalist at my parent's wedding, so we're including it, but not hiring
a vocalist).  I know that Peter, Paul & Mary recorded it, but it is
not desireable as a recording to play, either.

Could a music afficianado provide us with a list of other artists that
have recorded this song?  It doesn't matter if it is on CD or on an
indendent site like MP3.com, having a list to audition would be
wonderful.

Thanks!!!!

Two additional artists, listed on iTunes, who have covered the song:

Beth Lodge-Rigal [album: Follow Me]
Colleen Collins  [album: There is Love]

These two versions are of the acoustic/guitar/folk variety. You can
also hear clips of both the Innocence Mission and Nana Mouskouri on
iTunes.

The Olivia Newton-John cover is on her album Have You Never Been
Mellow. The song is not on iTunes or mp3.com, but there is a clip on
the Barnes & Noble website:
