John Denver, a singer-songwriter who hails from Colorado who specialized in folk music, has touched the hearts of millions. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell new Mexico, but fell in love Colorado. He eventually made his way to Aspen. Denver's national anthems to his adopted state have drawn many to Colorado. G. Brown the curator of Colorado Music Hall of Fame said that John Denver was by far one of the top performers who embodies Colorado. Denver was a member of the Hall of Fame as its first member in 2011. To many, Denver is the image of Colorado. Through my many travels, I have met many individuals who do not hail from Colorado. They will say, "Oh John Denver!" when they hear that you are from Colorado. Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of Denver's top 10 hits after performing with smaller folk groups. It was co-written and performed by Bill Danoff. Danoff had Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the track, however Denver discovered that it was destined to be a huge hit after the song was first heard by him. The singer recorded the song within a couple of days after performing it to an enthusiastic audience in Washington D.C.
