John Denver is a popular singer and songwriter who has been able to touch many with his songs. Many of these were inspired by Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell, New Mexico. He fell in love with Colorado and eventually settled in Aspen. Denver's state anthems inspired people to travel to Colorado. G. Brown the curator of Colorado Music Hall of Fame said that John Denver was by far one of the top artists who represented Colorado. Denver was the Hall of Fame's first inductee, was honored by the honor in 2011. Denver has become the image of Colorado for a lot of people around the world. When I travel, you may meet people at the other side of the planet. Like, for instance, someone who is from New Zealand. And when you say that you are originally from Colorado you will get "Oh John Denver!" Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads - cowritten with Bill Danoff - was Denver's first Top 10 single as a solo singer after a brief stint in small folk bands. Danoff used Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the tune, however Denver recognized that the song could turn into a hit once it was discovered that an earlier version. The track was released just a few weeks after it was performed in Washington D.C. performance.
