"Afternoon Delight" was written and performed by Bill Danoff & Taffy Nivert, the main talent in Starland Vocal Band and good friends of John Denver. They wrote a lot of the better songs that JD recorded (sometimes co-wrote with John Denver), like "Country Roads", "Guess He'd Rather Be in Colorado", "Please Daddy Don't Get Drunk This Christmas", "Late Night Radio", "Readjustment Blues" and "She Won't Let Me Fly Away".... a lot of my favourites.
