John Denver became a star through the folk-inspired songs he composed, the majority of which are located in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr., born Henry John Deutschendorf at Roswell located in the state of New Mexico, fell in Love with Colorado. He moved to Aspen. Denver's songs that he sang about his state brought many people to Colorado. G. Brown the curator of Colorado Music Hall of Fame stated the following: John Denver was by far one of the most popular performers who embodies Colorado. Denver was a member of the Hall of Fame as its the first member in 2011. Denver has been the symbol of Colorado for everyone around the world. On my trips I've had the pleasure of meeting individuals who are from New Zealand or the other side. If you inform that you're from Colorado The first thing they say are Oh John Denver. Brown said. Take Me Home Country Roads was Denver's top 10 hit after performing with small folk music bands. The song was written and recorded by Bill Danoff. Danoff had Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the tune, however Denver discovered that it was destined to turn into a hit once it was discovered that an earlier version. The singer recorded the song just a few days later after performing it to crowds of enthusiastic fans in Washington D.C.
