John Denver was a superstar performer who influenced millions of people with his pop-folk songs Many of them were based in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. is a Mexican-born artist and songwriter who fell in love with Colorado. Many people took the road to Colorado following the Denver's cult tunes for the state he was raised in. There isn't another performer that embodies Colorado as well as John Denver said G. Brown curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver is the Hall of Fame's first inductee, was honored with this honor in 2011. He has become the personification of Colorado for everyone around the world. While traveling, I will meet people on the other side of the globe. Like, for instance, an individual who is from New Zealand. And when you tell them you're Colorado-based, Colorado you will get "Oh John Denver!" Brown said. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of Denver's top 10 hits after he performed with smaller folk groups. It was co-written and produced by Bill Danoff. Danoff had written the song inspired by Johnny Cash, but Denver was able to hear an early version and knew it would become an instant hit in the top 10. The song was recorded just a few weeks after the Washington D.C. performance.
