John Denver, a singer-songwriter of Colorado that specialized in folk music, inspired millions of people. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. was born in Roswell in New Mexico. He fell in love Colorado and eventually settled in Aspen. Denver's most popular songs about his adopted home state drew many tourists to Colorado. G. Brown of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame states that John Denver is unlike any other musician who represents Colorado. Denver became the initial Hall of Fame inductee in the year 2011. Denver has been the symbol of Colorado to the many people across the globe. If you travel with me, you will meet people on the other side of the planet. For example people from New Zealand. And when you tell them you're Colorado-based, Colorado the response is "Oh John Denver!" Brown said. Take Me Home Country Roads, co-written by Bill Danoff and Denver after his brief time in folk groups, was Denver's debut Top 10 solo hit. Danoff had written the song inspired by Johnny Cash, but Denver was able to hear an early version of the song and realized it would become one of the Top 10 hits. The track was released just a few weeks after the Washington D.C. performance.
