Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. is a native of New Mexico. artist and songwriter who fell in love with Colorado. Denver's anthems for his adopted state has drawn a lot of people to Colorado. G. Brown, curator of Colorado Music Hall of Fame said the following: John Denver is the only artist to represent Colorado. Denver, the Hall of Fame's first inductee, was honored with the award in the year 2011. To many, Denver is the symbol of Colorado. People you meet in other nations, for instance New Zealanders, and they say "I come Colorado" and they say "I am from Colorado" And they immediately react by saying Oh John Denver. Brown declared. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of Denver's top 10 hits following a performance with a small folk bands. The song was written and recorded by Bill Danoff.
