John Denver is a popular artist and musician who has been able to touch many with his songs. Many of these have roots in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born Henry John Deutschedorf from Roswell in New Mexico, fell in love with Colorado. He settled in Aspen. Denver's iconic anthems for Colorado have inspired many people to move to the state. I don't think there's another performer that embodies 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 the first member in 2011. Denver is the symbol of Colorado for many people all over the world. If you travel with me, you will meet people on the other side of the planet. As an example, you might meet people who is from New Zealand. And when you tell them you're originally from Colorado you will get "Oh John Denver!" Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of Denver's top 10 singles after he performed with smaller folk groups. It was co-written by and produced by Bill Danoff. Danoff originally wrote it to Johnny Cash's tune in mind, but Denver was aware from the very first time he heard early versions that the song would be a big success. A few days after the performance to a throng of fans in Washington D.C., the singer recorded this song.
