He fell in love Colorado and moved to Aspen. Denver's popular state anthems have brought many to Colorado. G. Brown, curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame stated the following: John Denver is the only artist to represent Colorado. Denver became the premier Hall of Fame inductee in 2011. He is now the symbol of Colorado for people worldwide. Certainly in my travels you meet someone from the opposite side of the world someone of New Zealand and you say 'I'm from Colorado The first word to come you hear is Oh John Denver! Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of Denver's biggest solo success after performing in small folk groups. It was co-written and recorded by Bill Danoff. Danoff composed the track in the spirit of Johnny Cash, but Denver was able to hear the song's early versions and was aware that it would eventually become a Top 10 pop hit. The song was recorded by the singer within a couple of days when he performed it in front of crowds that were enthralled on the streets of Washington D.C.
