"I'm Sorry" is a song written and recorded by American
country-folk singer-songwriter John Denver. Released in 1975,
it was his final number-one hit released during his career.
The song, an apology for forsaken love, first reached number
one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in September 1975. Six weeks
later, it topped the
BillboardHot Country Singles chart. "I'm Sorry" also
reached number one on the easy listening chart that same
year.
The flip side of "I'm Sorry" was "Calypso", and like its
A-side, it enjoyed substantial radio airplay on Top 40
stations.
