Despite a smooth take-off and good weather conditions, Denver lost control of the aircraft shortly after 5:30 p.m. and crashed into Monterey Bay. The singer was most known for his hits “Rocky Mountain High” and “Take Me Home Country Roads.” He also frequently starred with the Muppets on their variety show. Before becoming a famous musician himself, Denver penned the iconic hit “Leaving on a Jet Plane.” Denver was 54 when he died.
