He fell in love Colorado and settled down in Aspen. Denver's songs that he sang about his home state drew many tourists to Colorado. G. Brown of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame states it is true that John Denver is unlike any other performer who has the recognizable image of Colorado. Denver was the initial Hall of Fame inductee in 2011. Today, he is the international face of Colorado. You meet people in different countries, such as New Zealanders and say "I come Colorado" and they say "I am from Colorado" and they immediately reply with "Oh John Denver. Brown said. Take Me Home Country Roads was Denver's first Top 10 Hit as a solo artist after having worked in small Folk Music Groups. The song was composed in collaboration with Bill Danoff. Danoff wrote the tune in the spirit of Johnny Cash, but Denver discovered an early version and knew it was going to be an instant hit in the top 10. Just a few days after the performance to a throng of fans on the streets of Washington D.C., the artist recorded the song.
