Singer-songwriter John Denver touched millions of people and reached superstar status by his folk-inspired pop hits with a lot of them being set in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell, New Mexico. He was enthralled by Colorado and eventually settled in Aspen. Denver's popular state anthems has brought many newcomers to Colorado. I can't think of any person who represents Colorado as well as John Denver said G. Brown curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. In the year 2011, Denver was selected as the Hall of Fame's very first inductee. Today he personifies the state across the globe. People you meet in other nations, for instance New Zealanders, and they declare "I am from Colorado" then they react with Oh John Denver. Brown admitted. Denver's debut Top 10 hit as a solo artist following a brief career performing in small folk bands comprised of Take Me Home Country Roads which was co-written by Bill Danoff. Danoff first wrote the track to Johnny Cash's tune in the back of his mind, however Denver knew from the first time he listened to the early versions that the song would become a major success. After performing the track during a concert in Washington D.C. to a huge crowd, the singer released the song a couple of days later.
