Singer-songwriter John Denver touched millions of people. He also achieved the status of a superstar thanks to his folk-inspired songs with a lot of them being set in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell, New Mexico. He fell in love with Colorado and settled down in Aspen. Many people traveled through Colorado following the Denver's cult songs for his home state. I don't think there's any person who represents Colorado as well as John Denver said G. Brown Curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was the first Hall of Fame ever inductee. Denver is the icon of Colorado to a large number of people across the globe. On my trips I've encountered people who are from New Zealand or the other side. When you tell them that you're from Colorado First words 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 career with folk bands which was Denver's first Top 10 solo hit. Danoff had written the song with the inspiration of Johnny Cash, but Denver discovered an early version and knew it would eventually become a Top 10 chart hit. After a few days of performing to an audience of over a hundred within Washington D.C., the musician recorded the track.
