John Denver is a popular musician and singer who has touched many people through his music. Many of these are based on Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell New Mexico. He fell in love Colorado. The singer-songwriter eventually settled in Aspen. Many people traveled through Colorado due to Denver's famous tunes for the state he was raised in. I can't think of another performer that embodies Colorado like John Denver said G. Brown curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was the first Hall of Fame ever inductee. Today, he is the international face of Colorado. On my journeys around the world, I have met many people who are not from Colorado. They will say, "Oh John Denver!" whenever they learn that you come from Colorado. Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads is the only Denver Top 10 Hit as a solo artist after having worked in small Folk Music Groups. The song was composed in collaboration with Bill Danoff. Danoff composed the track in the spirit of Johnny Cash, but Denver was able to hear the song's early versions and was aware that it would become a top 10 hit. The song was recorded a couple of days after performing at Washington D.C. before an audience that was very enthusiastic.
