John Denver became a star through the folk-inspired songs he composed, the majority of which were located in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was raised in Roswell New Mexico. However, he discovered love for Colorado. He later made his way to Aspen. Denver's state anthems are a source of inspiration for people to travel to Colorado. I can't think of any other performer who embodies Colorado such as John Denver said G. Brown director of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was inducted into the Hall of Fame as its first member in 2011. For many, Denver is the Colorado image. When I travel, I always come across someone on the opposite part of the globe, or someone from New Zealand and you say "I'm of Colorado and the first word that comes that comes out of their mouths is Oh John Denver! Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads was co-written by Bill Danoff - was Denver's first Top 10 single as a solo singer after a brief time in small folk groups. Danoff wrote the track in the name of Johnny Cash but Denver recognized the potential of the single when he first heard it. The track was released just several weeks after it was performed in Washington D.C. performance.
