Let's not forget that also,he was in the movie,"The Milangro Beanfield War". I haven't seen it but he plays the mayor of the town in which it's set.
A bit ironic;he passed away 30 years afterhis last pop hit. All four of those went to #1 on the country chart though.

Denver's,"Thank God I'm A Country Boy" immediately followed 1 week after "...Teardrop" at #1 in 1975.
