John Denver was a superstar artist who was a hit by his popular-folk hits, many of which were based in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born Henry John Deutschedorf in Roswell in New Mexico, was in Love with Colorado. The place he settled was Aspen. Denver's national anthems to his adopted state have drawn many to Colorado. I can't think of anyone else who represents Colorado like John Denver said G. Brown curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was the first Hall of Fame inductee in 2011. Denver is a symbol of the state to people around the world. If you travel with me, you may meet people at opposite sides of the world. As an example, you might meet an individual who is from New Zealand. And when you tell them you're originally from Colorado people will respond with "Oh John Denver!" Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads, co-written by Bill Danoff and Denver after his brief time as a folk musician which was Denver's first Top 10 solo hit. Danoff wrote the track to Johnny Cash but Denver recognized the potential of the single when he first heard it. He recorded it a couple of days after performing on stage in Washington D.C. before an crowd that was extremely enthusiastic.
