John Denver, a singer-songwriter of Colorado who was a specialist in folk pop music touched the hearts of millions. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell in New Mexico. He was enthralled by Colorado and moved to Aspen. Denver's state anthems inspired people to travel to Colorado. I don't think there's anyone else who represents Colorado like John Denver said G. Brown curator 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 symbol of Colorado. Certainly in my travels you meet someone from the other side of the world or someone of New Zealand and you say 'I'm originally from Colorado and the first word that comes out of their mouth is Oh John Denver! Brown stated. Denver's debut Top 10 hit as a solo artist after a short period of performing with small folk-based groups included Take Me Home Country Roads written by Bill Danoff. Danoff created the track along with Johnny Cash in mind but when Denver heard an early version he knew right away the track could become the next hit single. The song was recorded by the singer only a few days afterward after performing it to crowds of enthusiastic fans in Washington D.C.
