BEHIND THE SONG

Inspiration and background

Researched recording background

Peter, Paul and Mary included John Denver's Leaving on a Jet Plane on Album 1700 in 1967. Their own career history distinguishes that album appearance from the recording's later success as a single in 1969. The 2004 remaster named in the screenshot is a subsequent edition.

Evidence scope: Sourced recording, release or edition context; private songwriting inspiration is not inferred.
