John Denver, a singer-songwriter of Colorado who specialized in folk pop music brought joy to millions. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell in New Mexico. He fell in love Colorado and settled down in Aspen. Denver's famous songs about his home state encouraged many to move to Colorado. I can't think of any person who represents Colorado in the same way as John Denver said G. Brown the curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. The year 2011 was the year that John Denver was selected as the Hall of Fame's very first inductee. Denver is a symbol of the state to people around the world. In my travels I've encountered people who are from New Zealand or the other side. If you inform them that you're from Colorado The first thing that they'll hear are Oh John Denver. Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads was co-written by Bill Danoff and Denver after his brief stint with folk bands which was Denver's first Top 10 solo hit. Danoff had written the song with Johnny Cash in mind but once Denver first heard the song it was clear that the song was likely to become an instant hit. The singer recorded the song only a few days afterward when he performed it in front of crowds that were enthralled who were in Washington D.C.
