This site: http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608000792/John-Denver.html mentions that: In 1984, he toured the Soviet Union and recorded a duet with Russian pop singer Alexandre Gradsky, called "Let Us Begin (What Are We Making Weapons For?)." Also that year, he wrote and performed a song for the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, "The Gold and Beyond." Also referred to is another Denver song "Just A Dream Away", but it's not clear whether he performed it at Sarajevo. |

Still, I think it's a good display of his versatility, and of his beautiful voice. -Joe- |
