Take Me Home, Country Roads was a big hit for Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Denver in 1971, peaking at number two on the Billboard charts. It is considered Denver's signature song and became one of West Virginia's official state songs in 2014 but the song has strong Montgomery County roots. Two of the song's co-writers - Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert who were married at the time - lived in Montgomery County for years. The song's genesis can be traced back to a car ride in 1970 on a very rural at the time Clopper Road with Danoff and Nivert on their way to a family reunion in Gaithersburg singing and strumming along the way.
Many versions of what happened after that car ride have been told for years including one that claims the song's original title was Take Me Home, Clopper Road. MyMCM wanted to get the real story so we tracked down Nivert in Florida - where she has lived for the last several years - to set the record straight in the latest edition of MoCo's Most Famous with Joe Yasharoff.
