John Denver is a popular artist and musician who has been able to touch many with his songs. Most of his songs are based on Colorado. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. is a New Mexican born musician and singer who fell in love with Colorado. Denver's songs that he sang about his new home state inspired many visitors to Colorado. I don't think there's another performer that embodies Colorado as well as John Denver said G. Brown director of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was inducted into the Hall of Fame as its first member in 2011. He is the face of Colorado to many across the globe. When you encounter people from other countries, like New Zealanders and say "I am from Colorado" and they respond by saying Oh John Denver. Brown declared. Denver's debut Top 10 hit as a solo artist following a brief time in folk group was Take Me Home Country Roads co-written with Bill Danoff. Danoff used Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the tune, however Denver realized that it could be a huge hit after it was discovered that an earlier version.
