Leaving on a Jet Plane
"Leaving on a Jet Plane" was a song written by John Denver in 1967 during a layover at an airport in Washington and was recorded by the Chad Mitchell Trio that year. Others had covered the song that year, including versions from Spanky & Our Gang and Peter, Paul and Mary; however, it only became a hit when the latter act covered the song again on Album 1700, their 1969 effort.
