Musical Interlude: Calypso (1975)

The late John Denver was one of the most prolific hitmakers of the 70's, with songs like "Annie's Song", "Thank God I'm a Country Boy", "Rocky Mountain High", and this next selection, "Calypso".

The footage used in this video comes from the former documentary series, The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau, which we'll review another time. In a way, Denver was paying homage to Cousteau himself by writing this song, named for Cousteau's boat.
