John Denver co-wrote "Leavin' on a Jet Plane," and The Mitchell Trio (of which Denver was a member at the time) recorded it first. Spanky and Our Gang and Peter, Paul and Mary also recorded it before John Denver did his solo recording. Peter, Paul and Mary's version, which was released about six months before John Denver's, turned out to be their only #1 hit (and their last Top 40 hit) on the Billboard chart. Unlike Peter, Paul and Mary, John Denver never released it as a single; he included it on his first solo album.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
