Brief Donovan History :-
Donovan Leitch is a Scottish singer-songwriter who emerged as part of the mid-1960s folk music scene. Born 10th May 1946 in Maryhill (Glasgow), the family moved to Hatfield (England) in 1956. Donovan came to fame in the United Kingdom in early 1965 with a series of live performances on the pop TV series, Ready Steady Go!
Donovan first hit the pop charts in 1965 with his single “Catch the Wind”. He produced hit after hit throughout the sixties and his Sunshine Superman album was considered an innovative breakthrough to a new pyschedelic pop sound. His 1967 double album A Gift From A Flower To A Garden completed the transition from beat poet folkster to hippie troubadour. After splitting with producer Mickie Most after his album Barabajagal, his career struggled though the 1970s, but he has regained popularity with re-issues of his old songs in the 1990s.
As a close friend of The Beatles he travelled to India with them during their famous trip, and taught them how to fingerpick.
