John Denver was a superstar performer who influenced millions of people through his songs of pop-folk Many of them were based in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr., born Henry John Deutschendorf from Roswell near New Mexico, fell in love with Colorado. The place he settled was Aspen. Denver's famous anthems about Colorado have inspired many people to make the move to Colorado. I can't think of any other performer who embodies Colorado such as John Denver said G. Brown curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was the one of the first Hall of Fame inductee in the year 2011. Many consider Denver to be the image of Colorado. If you travel with me, you may meet people at the other side of the world. As an example, you might meet someone who is from New Zealand. And when you tell them you're originally from Colorado you will get "Oh John Denver!" Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads was co-written by Bill Danoff - was Denver's first Top 10 single as a solo performer after a brief stint in small folk bands. Danoff had originally written the tune using Johnny Cash's songs with a focus on Johnny Cash, however Denver knew from the first moment he listened to the first versions of the song that it could be a huge success. Danoff recorded the track only a few days afterward after performing it to the awe-inspiring crowd at Washington D.C.
