John Denver was a superstar performer who influenced millions of people through his songs of pop-folk and many of them inspired by Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell, New Mexico. He fell in love with Colorado and eventually settled in Aspen. Denver's songs for his home state have drawn many to Colorado. There isn't anyone else who represents Colorado like John Denver said G. Brown director of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was inducted into the Hall of Fame as its initial member in the year 2011. To many, Denver is the image of Colorado. Certainly in my travels you encounter someone on the other side of the world one from New Zealand and you say "I'm originally from Colorado and the first word that comes that comes out of their mouths is Oh John Denver! Brown said. Take Me Home Country Roads written by Bill Danoff and Denver after his brief time with folk bands which was Denver's first Top 10 solo hit. Danoff created the track along with Johnny Cash in mind but the moment Denver saw an early rendition it was clear that it was destined to be the next hit single. Danoff recorded the track just a few days later when he performed it in front of the awe-inspiring crowd at Washington D.C.
