The hit version was 1st performed by "Peter, Paul & Mary" about 1968. That was the original, you could arguably say. But at least 2 others (big under-statement) have re-done it. Hard to say which one you heard.
---from the web:
"Leaving on a Jet Plane" was a song written by John Denver in 1967 during a layover at an airport in Washington and was recorded by the Chad Mitchell Trio that year. Others had covered the song that year, including versions from Spanky & Our Gang and Peter, Paul and Mary; however, it only became a hit when the latter act covered the song again on Album 1700, their 1969 effort. It turned out to be their biggest (and final) hit.
"The song has also been the cause of a peculiar legal escapade involving the British group New Order. The band's single, "Run 2" (1989), was the subject of legal action from John Denver, who argued that the song's wordless guitar break was based on his "Leaving on a Jet Plane". An out-of-court settlement ensured that the song would never be re-released in its original form. [1]
"A cover by Chantal Kreviazuk was used in the 1998 film Armageddon and became an international hit. A more jazzy version by Jimmy Coup previously served as the theme song for A&E's Airline Television Program.

John Denver wrote the song. Peter, Paul and Mary released it first, I believe, then John Denver recorded it himself. As far as after that, do what someone above said and google it.
