He was born Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. in Roswell New Mexico he fell in the love of Colorado and later relocated to Aspen. Denver's anthems for his adopted state has drawn a lot of people to Colorado. I can't think of anyone else who represents Colorado like John Denver said G. Brown director of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver was the Hall of Fame's first ever to be inducted. Denver is now the embodiment of Colorado to the people all over. When you encounter people from different countries, such as New Zealanders, and they ask them "I come from Colorado" then they instantly reply with Oh John Denver. Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads written by Bill Danoff and Denver after his brief career as a folk musician which was Denver's first Top 10 solo hit. Danoff composed the track along with Johnny Cash in mind but the moment Denver was introduced to an earlier version it was clear that the track could become an instant hit. The song was recorded a couple of days after performing in Washington D.C. before an audience that was very enthusiastic.
