When was knocking on heavens door written

Knockin' on Heaven's Door by Bob Dylan is one of the greatest soundtracks of our lives. There are several versions of the song. One rendition was influenced by Sam Peckinpah, who desired an instrumental track, which Dylan agrees with. Another version had vocal tracks added to it, a sung and orchestrated version was created for the movie soundtrack and lastly, a different version was used for a single. I bought Lana Turner's old house and I'm not sure where he lived, but he had a house just across the road there and he would come over and pick up my guitar and work on songs and stuff.

Below is a more upbeat version of the often melancholy song. It is a version beautiful enough to temporarily forget the somber meaning of the lyrics. And althought it is slightly different from the original version, the lyrics still describes the sentiments of a man who is ready to pass on to the next world.
