John Denver, a singer-songwriter from Colorado that specialized in folk pop music touched the hearts of millions. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell, New Mexico. He was enthralled by Colorado and eventually settled in Aspen. Denver's most popular songs about his adopted state brought many people to Colorado. G. Brown of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame declares it is true that John Denver is unlike any other performer who has the recognizable image of Colorado. Denver was a member of the Hall of Fame as its initial member in the year 2011. Today, he is the international face of Colorado. In all my travels I've met a lot of people who are not from Colorado. They'll say, "Oh John Denver!" When they hear you're from Colorado. Brown said. Take Me Home Country Roads is the only Denver Top 10 Hit as a Solo Artist after working within small Folk Music groups. The song was composed in collaboration with Bill Danoff. Danoff created the track along with Johnny Cash in mind but the moment Denver was introduced to an earlier version it was clear that it was destined to be the next hit single. The song was recorded by the singer within a couple of days following a performance to an enthusiastic audience at Washington D.C.
