Well, he did name his daughter Jesse Belle, but I'm pretty sure that was after John wrote Whispering Jesse. As you said, many songs mention Jesse. If you find any information about that post it here or contact me- I'll do the same if I come up with anything.

Sorry - but "Whispering Jesse" was NOT written about Denver's daughter!!! It was written from the name of a ski run in Colorado - named Whispering Jesse!! "Whispering Jesse" the song - was recorded on Denver's "Higher Ground" album in 1989 - his daughter (Jesse Belle Denver) was born May 18, 1989 and the song was released September 29, 1989. Denver KNEW is unborn child was a girl (he went through invetro get get his wife Cassandra pregnant as he was 100% sterile - she had Jesse EXACTLY 9 months after their wedding in August 1988) - so the daughter...

He also mentioned the name "Jesse" in 3 previous songs - starting in 1971 - (first line of the song "Lady's Chains" is "Jesse went away last summer - couple of months ago") so I'd say it was a favorite name of his and his daughter was named after the song!!!!!!!!!!
"jesse" is mentioned in many JD songs...does anyone know the etiology of this name in his songs? Thanks..

In this song I'd always understood Whispering Jesse to be the wind!
