John Denver, a singer-songwriter who hails from Colorado who was a specialist in folk music, touched the hearts of millions. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell, New Mexico. He fell in love Colorado and eventually settled in Aspen. More than a few people beat a path to Colorado due to Denver's famous songs for his home state. I don't think there's another performer that embodies Colorado such as John Denver said G. Brown director of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was the first Hall of Fame ever inductee. Denver is a symbol of the state for all people. When you encounter people from other countries, like New Zealanders, and they say "I come from Colorado" And they immediately respond with Oh John Denver. Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads was Denver's first Top 10 Hit as a Solo Artist after working with small folk groups. The track was written in collaboration with Bill Danoff. Danoff wrote the tune in the spirit of Johnny Cash, but Denver discovered an early version and knew it was going to be an instant hit in the top 10. The singer recorded the song within a couple of days following a performance to an enthusiastic audience in Washington D.C.
