Denver's iconic anthems for Colorado have inspired many people to relocate to Colorado. G. Brown of Colorado Music Hall of Fame, the director of this hall of fame said: "I don't believe there anyone else who has as much a connection to Colorado in the same way as John Denver." Denver was the Hall of Fame's first ever to be inducted. He is now the symbol of Colorado for all people. In my journeys, you come across someone on the opposite end of the planet, or someone who is from New Zealand and you say "I'm originally from Colorado and the first thing out of their mouth is"Oh John Denver! Brown explained. Take Me Home Country Roads is the only Denver Top 10 Hit as a Solo Artist after working in small Folk Music Groups. The song was composed with Bill Danoff. Danoff was credited with Johnny Cash as the inspiration for the track, however Denver recognized that the song could be a huge hit after the song was first heard by him. The song was recorded by the singer within a couple of days after performing it to an enthusiastic audience on the streets of Washington D.C.
