DonovanLeitch, born May 10, 1946, is a Scottish singer songwriter who emerged as part of the mid sixties folk music scene. Donovan was born in a tenement in Maryhill (Glasgow), the son of a lathe operator, although the family moved to Hatfield (England) in 1956. At first he was called the British answer to Bob Dylan, despite the fact that his own vision and style couldn't be more different from Dylan's. 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 Supermanalbum was considered an innovative breakthrough to a new pyschedelic pop sound.
