Singer-songwriter John Denver touched millions of fans and became a star through his pop-folk songs based on folk, many of them based in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr., born Henry John Deutschendorf of Roswell located in the state of New Mexico, fell in love with Colorado. The place he settled was Aspen. Denver's popular state anthems has brought many newcomers to Colorado. It's hard to think of another performer in the world who is as empathetic to Colorado as well as John Denver said G. Brown curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. In 2011, Denver was selected as the Hall of fame's first inductee. Denver is the icon of Colorado to many throughout the world. You meet people in different nations, including New Zealanders and declare "I am from Colorado" and they respond with Oh John Denver. Brown said. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of Denver's biggest solo success after performing in small folk groups. It was co-written and recorded by Bill Danoff. Danoff first wrote the track by putting Johnny Cash's song in his the back of his mind, however Denver was aware from the very first time he heard the early versions that the song could be a huge success. After performing the song in Washington D.C. to a vast crowd, he made a recording a few days later.
