My Sweet Lady is a song written and first recorded by John Denver, and was included on his Poems, Prayers & Promises LP in 1971.[1]
Denver released it as a single in 1977. Record World said that "a lilting string arrangement complements his sincere vocal and gentle acoustic guitar work."[2]
It was later covered by American actor and musician Cliff DeYoung, whose 1973 MCA Records release[3] became an international hit peaking at No. 7 Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 14 in Canada[4] and No. 42 in Australia.[5]
