"Leaving on a Jet Plane" is a vocal written and recorded past singer-songwriter John Denver[1] in 1966, originally included on his debut demo recording John Denver Sings as "Babe I Hate To Go". He made several copies and gave them out as presents for Christmas of that year.[2] Denver's so producer Milt Okun convinced him to change the title and was renamed "Leaving on a Jet Plane" in 1967.
In 1969, simultaneous to the success of the Peter, Paul and Mary version, Denver recorded the vocal once more for his debut studio album, Rhymes & Reasons, and was released as a unmarried in October 1969 through RCA Records. [3] Although it is 1 of John Denver's best known songs, his single failed to enter the charts.
"Leaving on a Jet Plane" was re-recorded for the third and last time in 1973 for John Denver's Greatest Hits, version that also appears on virtually of his compilation albums.
Background [edit]
John Denver, and then a relatively unknown musician in the Los Angeles folk scene of 23 years old, had written the song during a layover at Washington Airdrome in 1966.
In one of BBC Radio specials, Denver said about the vocal:
This is a very personal and very special vocal for me. It doesn't conjure up Boeing 707s or 747s for me as much as information technology does the simple scenes of leaving. Bags packed and standing by the forepart door, taxi pulling up in the early morning hours, the sound of a door closing behind you, and the thought of leaving someone that you care for very much. I was fortunate to have Peter, Paul and Mary tape it and have it become a hit, but it still strikes a alone and anguished chord in me, considering the separation still continues, although not so long and not so frequently nowadays.[4]
