Singer-songwriter John Denver touched millions of people. He also achieved the status of a superstar thanks to his folk-inspired songs many of them based in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell in New Mexico. He was enthralled by Colorado and settled down in Aspen. Denver's state anthems, which are well-known, have drawn many people visitors to Colorado. G. Brown the curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame stated the fact that John Denver was the best performer in capturing Colorado. Denver was the Hall of Fame's first ever to be a member. He is now the symbol of Colorado for people worldwide. When you encounter people from other countries, like New Zealanders, and they ask them "I come from Colorado" then they reply with Oh John Denver. Brown admitted. Denver's first Top 10 hit as a solo artist after a short career performing in small folk music groups comprised of Take Me Home Country Roads written by Bill Danoff. Danoff initially wrote the song by putting Johnny Cash's song in his the back of his mind, however Denver realized from the first time he heard the early versions that the song could be a huge success. Following the performance during a concert in Washington D.C. to a huge crowd, the singer made a recording a few days later.
