Absolutely right!! Peter, Paul and Mary!
Well aren’t you all jazzed up in front of your jet plane? That is so cute. Wish I knew how to do that! Oh well~~~~
“Leaving on a Jet Plane” is a song written by John Denver in 1967 and recorded by the Mitchell Trio that year. The original title of the song was “Oh Babe I Hate To Go” but Denver’s then producer, Milt Okun, convinced him to change the title.
Denver wrote the song after his flight was delayed. Other artists recorded the song in 1967, including Spanky & Our Gang and Peter, Paul and Mary on Album 1700.
It did not become a hit until Peter, Paul and Mary released it as a single in 1969.
