The 1966 song ”Leaving on a Jet Plane” by John Denver is one of those iconic classics that is that way for a reason. Denver’s song manages to hit every sentimental note. It helps that in his forty-year career, Denver, in addition to acting and environmental activism, has recorded a whole catalog of iconic music.

John Denver managed to write the most endearing goodbye song. It is used in movies, commercials and has been covered numerous times. One of the more famous versions is the Peter, Paul and Mary cover but maybe even sweeter is this cover by an eight-year-old girl.

Gail Sophica was eight when she recorded her viral cover. Her sweet and light voice is truly angelic. She might be too young to remember the 60’s but her singing captures the song’s nostalgia.
