John Denver, a singer-songwriter from Colorado who specialized in folk music, touched the hearts of millions. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was raised in Roswell New Mexico. He discovered love for Colorado. The singer-songwriter eventually made his way to Aspen. Denver's state anthems are a source of inspiration for many to visit Colorado. G. Brown the curator of 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. Denver was the Hall of Fame's first inductee, was honored with this honor in 2011. For many, Denver is the image of Colorado. When I travel, I always encounter someone on the other side of the world one who is from New Zealand and you say 'I'm of Colorado and the very first thing that comes they say is"Oh John Denver! Brown said. Denver's debut Top 10 hit as a solo artist following a brief period of performing with small folk-based bands was Take Me Home Country Roads written by Bill Danoff. Danoff composed the song in the name of Johnny Cash but Denver recognized the potential of the single the moment he heard it for the first time. He recorded it just a few days following performing in Washington D.C. before an audience that was very enthusiastic.
