John Denver is a popular singer and songwriter who has touched many people by his lyrics. Many of these were inspired by Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr., born Henry John Deutschendorf from Roswell near New Mexico, was in Love with Colorado. He settled in Aspen. Denver's most popular songs about his home state inspired many visitors to Colorado. I can't think of another performer that embodies Colorado like John Denver said G. Brown director of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver became the initial Hall of Fame inductee in 2011. Denver has been the symbol of Colorado for many people across the globe. When I travel, you will meet people on the other side of the globe. For example people who is from New Zealand. And when someone asks you if you're from Colorado you will get "Oh John Denver!" Brown said. Denver's debut Top 10 hit as a solo artist following a brief time in folk music bands comprised of Take Me Home Country Roads co-written with Bill Danoff. Danoff was credited with Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the track, however Denver discovered that it was destined to turn into a hit once the song was first heard by him. He recorded it a couple of days after playing in Washington D.C. before an audience that was very enthusiastic.
