John Denver, a singer-songwriter from Colorado that specialized 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. Denver's iconic anthems for Colorado have been a major influence on many to relocate to Colorado. G. Brown the curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame said that John Denver was by far one of the most well-known musicians who was a symbol of Colorado. In 2011 Denver was named the first Hall of Fame inductee. For many, Denver is the Colorado image. When you encounter people from other nations, for instance New Zealanders. They say "I am originally from Colorado" then they reply by saying Oh John Denver. Brown clarified. Take Me Home Country Roads was co-written by Bill Danoff - was Denver's first Top 10 single as a solo performer after a brief period in small folk ensembles. Danoff had originally written the tune to Johnny Cash's tune with a focus on Johnny Cash, however Denver was aware from the very first time he heard the earlier versions that it could be a huge hit. The song was performed at Washington D.C. to a huge crowd, the singer made a recording a few days from now.
