John Denver became a star thanks to the folk songs that he wrote, many of which are situated in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell in New Mexico. He fell in love Colorado and eventually settled in Aspen. A few beat a path through Colorado due to Denver's famous anthems to his adopted state. G. Brown, curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame declared that John Denver is the only artist to represent Colorado. In 2011, Denver was named the Hall of Fame's very first inductee. Denver is a symbol of the state to people around the world. While traveling, I are likely to meet people from the other end of the globe. For example someone from New Zealand. And when you tell them you're Colorado-based, Colorado you will get "Oh John Denver!" Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads, co-written by Bill Danoff and Denver after his brief stint with folk bands and was his debut Top 10 solo hit. Danoff had originally written the tune to Johnny Cash's tune with a focus on Johnny Cash, however Denver was aware from the very first time he heard the first versions of the song that it was going to be an instant success. Danoff recorded the track just a few days later after performing it to the awe-inspiring crowd on the streets of Washington D.C.
