Singer-songwriter John Denver touched millions of people. He also achieved the status of a superstar with his folk-based pop songs many of them based in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born Henry John Deutschedorf from Roswell in New Mexico, was in love with Colorado. He moved to Aspen. Denver's state anthems have inspired people to travel to Colorado. I don't think there's anyone else who represents Colorado as well as John Denver said G. Brown curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was the first Hall of Fame ever to be inducted. Denver is today the face of Colorado on the world stage. When you encounter people from other countries, like New Zealanders, and they ask them "I come from Colorado" then they instantly reply by saying Oh John Denver. Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads was co-written by Bill Danoff and Denver after his brief stint in folk groups, was Denver's debut Top 10 solo hit. Danoff wrote the track to Johnny Cash but Denver recognized the song's potential the moment he heard it for the first time. Danoff recorded the track only a few days afterward when he performed it in front of the awe-inspiring crowd on the streets of Washington D.C.
