John Denver became a star through the folk-inspired songs that he wrote, many of which are situated in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell in New Mexico. He fell in love Colorado and moved to Aspen. Denver's state anthems have inspired many to visit Colorado. G. Brown the curator of Colorado Music Hall of Fame stated 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 by the honor in 2011. Denver is the symbol of Colorado for many people all over the world. If you travel with me, you are likely to meet people from opposite sides of the world. Like, for instance, people from New Zealand. And when someone asks you if you're Colorado-based, Colorado people will respond with "Oh John Denver!" Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads is Denver's only Top 10 Hit as a solo artist after having worked with small folk groups. The track was written in collaboration with Bill Danoff. Danoff wrote the track to Johnny Cash but Denver recognized the potential of the single when he first heard it. A few days after singing to an enthusiastic crowd on the streets of Washington D.C., the singer recorded this song.
