Donovan

folk rock · 1966–1969

Donovan Phillips Leitch is a Scottish musician known for his unique blend of folk rock, psychedelic folk, and pop sounds. Emerging from the UK’s folk scene in the mid-‘60s, he became a key figure in the flower power movement with hits like "Season of the Witch," "Sunshine Superman," "Hurdy Gurdy Man," and "Atlantis." His music is marked by whimsical lyrics and lush melodies, often infused with a touch of psychedelia that captured the spirit of the times. With releases on labels like Dawn Records and Epic Records, Donovan’s work remains a delightful echo of an era that celebrated love, peace, and a touch of magic.
