John Denver became a star through the folk-inspired songs that he wrote, many of which are situated in Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell in New Mexico. He fell in love Colorado and moved to Aspen. Denver's state anthems inspired many to visit Colorado. G. Brown of Colorado Music Hall of Fame, the hall's curator of fame said: "I don't believe there anyone else who has as much a connection to Colorado in the same way as John Denver." Denver was inducted into the Hall of Fame as its the first member in 2011. Many consider Denver to be the symbol of Colorado. In my journeys, you encounter someone on the other part of the globe, someone from New Zealand and you say "I'm of Colorado and the first thing out of their mouth is Oh John Denver! Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of Denver's top 10 singles after performing with smaller folk groups. The song was written and produced by Bill Danoff. Danoff used Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the tune, however Denver discovered that it was destined to turn into a hit once the song was first heard by him. A few days after performing to an excited audience on the streets of Washington D.C., the performer recorded the track.
