Denver was the very one of the first Hall of Fame inductee in 2011. He is now the international face of Colorado. When I travel, I always come across someone on the opposite end of the planet, someone of New Zealand and you say "I'm from Colorado and the first word that comes out of their mouth is Oh John Denver! Brown stated. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of Denver's top 10 singles following a performance with a small folk music bands. The song was written and produced by Bill Danoff.
