I remember my first exposure to Donovans music as a young preteen was Sunshine Superman, it exploded on the radio and I was so enamored with the style and voice I became a fan.
Thank you Donovan for all I have learned from you all these years! Your music has always spoken to me. In quiet, wonderful ways. Since the beginning, your music has been a healthy influence in my life and my spirit. It is easy to see why art is so important! It lasts a lifetime and beyond!
Donovan was my favourite singer-songwriter in the 60s. I think it was John Lennon that stated “Bob Dylan showed the way”, but there is no doubt that the White Album’s Dear Prudence, Julia, and Blackbird songs have Donovan’s signature. So, Lennon should have said "Donovan showed the was as Peter Seeger did for Bob Dylan”.
True. But more than that, Donovan actually plays on those Beatles songs. They weren’t very good musicians, certainly not good enough to be studio professionals. The Beatles didn’t write the songs attributed to them nor played on Beatles albums 1962-66. See Sage of Quay channel.
4:16 She didnt know but, he was just quoting a line from *The Beatles* song _"Tomorrow Never Knows_ " off the " *Revolver* " album! " _Turn off your mind, relax, and float down stream_ "
I was in a variety of meditation groups; one wanted us to meditate a minimum of two hours. My spiritual vibrations and those of other group members, when combined, produced a discernable spiritual vibration. It produced uncanny coincidences and surely was a heavenly result.

Jeez, that interviewer has a big mouth! How many times did she interrupt him? She needs to learn how to shut-up and listen and do a proper interview! Otherwise, aside from the stupidly blurred-out still photos, a good interview with the Legendary Donovan Leitch.
I would LOVE to learn that Guitar "Finger Picking Technique" he taught John (Lennon) Im trying to teach myself but it's hard. You can go on youtube, they have many guitarists who will teach you a certain Picking patteren. Thats fine but, I need a teacher right there with me, showing me, telling me if I'm doing it wrong, or right!
He is in a different way from you there’s a period in the Bible when Christ traveled to the East he is known by a different name there so just respect that be cool it’s alright
Starship,there was no also and no drugs as that was one of the reason s the trip went ahead, Donavon chucked a big lump of hash off a hanger on who had it and threw it in the Ganges river saying last thing we need if the press get a whiff ! Of this .

What a beautiful human being. No wonder his music is so tender.
What a gentleman. Polite. Thoughtful. Gracious. Praises his wife. All us dumb dudes should be half as good. All hail Atlantis!
The song he wrote for her was so lovely
Dear Prudence, best Lennon song ever. Love the picking and guitar work

You can put that song alongside any modern play list electronic, dance etc & it will always fit in perfectly. Absolutely timeless.

Donovan has aged remarcably well.
He’s got a Linda

I like this what a special story
she's like a twittering bird, flapping around a still flower!! kinda sweet really!
Long live man !!!
You were one of the gratest
Why the pictures blanked out in the studio?
Living legend 🧡
Why can't we see the pictures? Its all blurry!
Brilliant
I don't think McCartney ever mastered this Travis pickin' technique and I don't think it is used in Blackbird actually.

Poor interviewer. She interrupts Donovan, who is trying to answer her question, with another question.
🎼🕊️
Looks like Donovan and his kind have taken the basic minimum from meditation and Indian spirituality.
I grew up with his "music". I'll never forgive him for it.
Colours hurdy gurdy sunshine superman
Did I tell you the time i taught John them chords. 😴😴😴😴
He needs to pray to God and the Lord Jesus 🙏✝️🕊️🥺
cause hes doing so poorly?
He is in a different way from you there’s a period in the Bible when Christ traveled to the East he is known by a different name there so just respect that be cool it’s alright
Then he could become a self-righteous, judgemental Bible thumper! Great idea! 🙄
Not bad for a Dylan wannabe .....
wow u soooooooo wrong sorry u cant get it
At least Donovan could sing.
Why are the pictures blurred?
Yeah that was dumb
copy right ?
Photographer was stoned also? lol Have admired Donovan since the days of AM transistor radios. In 69' I was 12. Great songwriter...

@@waynesilverman3048 Hopefully Donovan reimbursed the hanger-on for the hasish that he took upon himself to chuck into the Ganges..
