Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born Henry John Germandorf from Roswell near New Mexico, fell in love with Colorado. He settled in Aspen. Denver's famous songs about his state of origin encouraged many to move to Colorado. It's hard to think of more famous performer that embodies Colorado in the same way as John Denver said G. Brown the curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. In 2011, Denver was named the Hall of Fame's very first inductee. Denver is viewed as the symbol of Colorado to people from all over the world. In my travels I've had the pleasure of meeting people who are from New Zealand or the other side. When you tell them you're from Colorado the first words they'll say is"Oh John Denver. Brown said. Take Me Home Country Roads composed by Bill Danoff and Denver after his brief involvement as a folk musician and was his debut Top 10 solo hit. Danoff had written the song using Johnny Cash in mind but the moment Denver heard an early version and listened to it, he was convinced that it was an instant hit. After performing the track in Washington D.C. to a huge crowd, the singer recorded it just days later.
