John Denver is a popular musician and singer who has been able to touch many by his lyrics. Many of these have roots in Colorado. He was born Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. in Roswell New Mexico he fell in the love of Colorado and eventually moved to Aspen. Denver's national anthems to his adopted state have drawn many to Colorado. I don't think there's any other performer who embodies Colorado like John Denver said G. Brown director of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was the Hall of Fames' inaugural inductee was recognized with the award in the year 2011. Today he personifies the state to people around the world. On my journeys around the world, I've met a lot of people who are not from Colorado. People will say, "Oh John Denver!" whenever they learn that you are from Colorado. Brown said. Take Me Home Country Roads is the only Denver Top 10 Hit as a Solo Artist following his time in small Folk Music Groups. The track was written with Bill Danoff. Danoff composed the track in conjunction with Johnny Cash in mind but after Denver heard an early version he knew right away the track could become an instant hit. The song was recorded within a couple of days of performing on stage in Washington D.C. before an large crowd who were very appreciative.
