Singer-songwriter John Denver touched millions of people. He also achieved the status of a superstar by his folk-inspired pop hits most of which were based in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. is a New Mexican born artist and songwriter who fell in love with Colorado. Denver's anthems of fame about Colorado have been a major influence on many to move to the state. G. Brown, curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame said that John Denver is the only musician to truly embody Colorado. Denver was the Hall of Fame's first to be inducted into the hall. To many, Denver is the image of Colorado. While traveling, I are likely to meet people from the other side of the globe. Like, for instance, people from New Zealand. And when you say that you are originally from Colorado you will get "Oh John Denver!" Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads is Denver's only Top 10 Hit as a solo artist after having worked in small Folk Music Groups. The song was written in collaboration with Bill Danoff. Danoff had originally written the tune to Johnny Cash's tune in mind, but Denver realized from the first time he heard the earlier versions that it would be a big popular. He recorded it just a few days following having performed at Washington D.C. before an crowd that was extremely enthusiastic.
