John Denver, a singer-songwriter from Colorado that specialized in folk music, inspired millions of people. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born Henry John Germandorf at Roswell in New Mexico, fell in Love with Colorado. He moved to Aspen. More than a few people beat a path to Colorado due to Denver's famous songs for his home state. I can't think of another performer that embodies Colorado as well as John Denver said G. Brown curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. In 2011, Denver was named the Hall of Fame's very first inductee. He is the face of Colorado to many across the globe. In all my travels I have met many non-Colorado residents. Colorado. People will say, "Oh John Denver!" when they hear that you come from Colorado. Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads was Denver's top 10 hit following a performance with a small folk bands. The song was written and performed by Bill Danoff. Danoff created the track in conjunction with Johnny Cash in mind but when Denver was introduced to an earlier version he knew right away the song could be an instant hit. Danoff recorded the song within a couple of days of playing on stage in Washington D.C. before an audience that was very enthusiastic.
