John Denver, a singer-songwriter of Colorado that specialized in folk pop music inspired millions of people. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. is a New Mexican born musician and singer who fell in love with Colorado. Denver's national anthems to his adopted state have drawn many to Colorado. G. Brown, curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame declared the following: John Denver is the only musician to truly embody Colorado. Denver was inducted into the Hall of Fame as its initial member in the year 2011. Denver has been the symbol of Colorado for everyone around the world. While traveling, I are likely to meet people from the other end of the globe. For example someone from New Zealand. And when you say that you are Colorado-based, Colorado you will get "Oh John Denver!" Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads is Denver's only Top 10 Hit as a solo artist after having worked with small folk groups. The song was composed in collaboration with Bill Danoff. Danoff was credited with Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the song, but Denver recognized that the song could become a smash hit when the song was first heard by him. A few days after singing to an enthusiastic crowd on the streets of Washington D.C., the singer recorded this song.
