Leaving on a Jet Plane: John Denver

It was, of course, PP&M who had a hit single with this song in 1969, but it is a John Denver composition. He sang it so beautifully.

I´m not a big fan of John Denver, but this one I really like! For some reason I always starts to think about travelling on a train :-) :-) Perhaps I heard it on a train for the first time?

Christer,
He wasn't one of my favorites, but I now like him far more than I thought I would. This is a great one!

I really liked him better as a part of the Chad Mitchell Trio. But, during my coffee house days of running sound systems, I enjoyed other folks' versions of his songs.

Rick,
John Denver has grown on me in time. I find the benchmark is usually the hit songs and few of the songwriters record their own hits.

John Denver was one of my childhood favorites. And this song was my brother's favorite when he was four or five.

Sprite,
I have come back to John Denver!
