John Denver was a superstar singer who touched millions with his pop-folk songs Many of them were inspired by Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell in New Mexico. He fell in love Colorado and eventually settled in Aspen. A few traveled towards Colorado due to Denver's famous anthems to his adopted state. G. Brown the curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame said that John Denver was by far one of the most popular musicians who was a symbol of Colorado. In 2011, Denver was chosen as the first Hall of Fame inductee. He is now Colorado's international image. You meet people in other countries, like New Zealanders. They say "I come originally from Colorado" then they immediately reply by saying Oh John Denver. Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of Denver's top 10 hits after he performed with small folk music bands. It was co-written by and performed by Bill Danoff. Danoff was credited with Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the song, but Denver recognized that the song could turn into a hit once the song was first heard by him. The song was performed at Washington D.C. to a large audience, Denver made a recording a few days afterward.
