Lots of people do cover songs
There are a lot of people who can sing great or play great but who can not write great songs

Danoff and Nivert do have writing credits for the song.
That being said, their version is better. It has more from the heart feeling to it. They're also good live performers, something almost no modern groups have.
I feel like I should be putting a dime into the Seeburg Wall Box down at the L&K on Friday with their stuff.
William Thomas Danoff (born May 7, 1946) is an American songwriter and singer.[1] He is known for "Afternoon Delight", which he wrote and performed as a member of the Starland Vocal Band, and for writing multiple hits for John Denver, including "Take Me Home, Country Roads".[2]
Songs from one artist are often written for other artists to perform. It's only theft when the jews who (((publish))) and (((produce))) those works take (((ownership))) of the rights to that work. John Denver isn't a thief, but he was part of the (((music industry))) so his hands are not clean.
Speaking of jews, (((Danoff))) (((Nivert))). But jews would never steal the White man's accomplishments...
