Denver is the icon of Colorado for a lot of people across the globe. Certainly in my travels you meet someone from the opposite part of the globe, someone from New Zealand and you say "I'm from Colorado and the very first thing that comes they say is Oh John Denver! Brown admitted. Denver's first Top 10 hit as a solo artist after a short period of performing with small folk music groups was Take Me Home Country Roads co-written with Bill Danoff. Danoff created the song with Johnny Cash in mind but the moment Denver first heard the song and listened to it, he was convinced that the song could be a hit single. Following the performance at Washington D.C. to a large audience, Denver did a song recording just a few days afterward.
