John Denver, a singer-songwriter from Colorado who specialized in folk music, touched the hearts of millions. He was born Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. in Roswell New Mexico, the singer-songwriter fell in love with Colorado and eventually relocated to Aspen. Denver's state anthems have inspired people to travel to Colorado. There isn't any other performer who embodies Colorado such as John Denver said G. Brown curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. In 2011, Denver was named the first Hall of Fame inductee. To many, Denver is the Colorado image. While traveling, I are likely to meet people from the other side of the world. For example someone from New Zealand. And when you tell them you're originally from Colorado the response is "Oh John Denver!" Brown declared. Denver's debut Top 10 hit as a solo artist after a short time in folk groups was Take Me Home Country Roads composed by Bill Danoff. Danoff initially wrote the song using Johnny Cash's songs with a focus on Johnny Cash, however Denver realized from the first moment he listened to the earlier versions that it could be a huge popular. A few days after the performance to a throng of fans on the streets of Washington D.C., the singer recorded this song.
