In 2011, Denver was chosen as the Hall of Fame's first inductee. He is the face of Colorado to many across the globe. In my travels I've encountered individuals who are from New Zealand or the other side. If you inform them you're from Colorado the first words they say are"Oh John Denver. Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads is Denver's only Top 10 Hit as a Solo Artist after working with small folk groups. The track was written by Bill Danoff. Danoff wrote the track in the name of Johnny Cash but Denver recognized the potential of the single the moment he heard it for the first time. The singer recorded the song just a few days later when he performed it in front of crowds of enthusiastic fans on the streets of Washington D.C.
