His first hit was "Leaving On A Jet Plane", but not for him as an artist. It was recorded by the group Peter, Paul and Mary in the late 1960s. Although recorded by someone other than himself, it was his first big break. After Plane was such a big hit it opened doors for Denver as a singer himself.

Evidently the specific song has been lost to history but in 1978 John's song was Sunshine On My Shoulder so it most likely was that one.
