John Denver was a superstar artist who was a hit with his pop-folk songs, many of which were based in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. is a Mexican-born musician and singer who fell in love with Colorado. Denver's anthems of fame about Colorado have inspired many people to move to the state. I can't think of any other performer who embodies Colorado such as John Denver said G. Brown director of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver is the Hall of Fame's first inductee, was honored with the award in the year 2011. Today, he is the international face of Colorado. People you meet in different countries, such as New Zealanders. They tell them "I am originally from Colorado" then they reply with "Oh John Denver. Brown explained. Take Me Home Country Roads - cowritten with Bill Danoff - was Denver's first Top 10 single as a solo singer after a brief time in small folk groups. Danoff created the track with Johnny Cash in mind but after Denver heard an early version he knew right away the track could become a hit single. The singer recorded the song just a few days later after performing it to the awe-inspiring crowd at Washington D.C.
