Brown curator of the Colorado Music Hall of Fame. Denver became the initial Hall of Fame inductee in 2011. For many, Denver is the Colorado image. On my journeys around the world, I've met a lot of non-Colorado residents. Colorado. They will beg, "Oh John Denver!" when they hear that you're from Colorado. Brown clarified. Take Me Home Country Roads was one of Denver's top 10 hits after he performed with small folk music bands. The song was written and recorded by Bill Danoff. Danoff wrote the tune in the spirit of Johnny Cash, but Denver was able to hear an early version and knew it would become a top 10 hit.
