Singer-songwriter John Denver touched millions of people. He also achieved the status of a superstar through his pop-folk songs based on folk, many of them based in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell, New Mexico. He was enthralled by Colorado and moved to Aspen. Denver's anthems for his adopted state has drawn a lot of people to Colorado. I can't think of another performer that embodies Colorado as well as John Denver said G. Brown curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was a member of the Hall of Fame as its first member in 2011. He is now the face of Colorado on the world stage. When you encounter people from different countries, such as New Zealanders and tell them "I come originally from Colorado" then they instantly reply with Oh John Denver. Brown said. Take Me Home Country Roads written by co-writer Bill Danoff - was Denver's first Top 10 single as a solo performer after a brief period in small folk ensembles. Danoff used Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the song, but Denver discovered that it was destined to become a smash hit when the song was first heard by him. After performing to an excited audience at Washington D.C., the performer recorded the track.
