Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan emerged in the 1960s as one of the defining voices of the folk and psychedelic movements. Blending poetic lyricism with a gentle, melodic style, he infused folk, jazz, pop, and Eastern influences into hits like “Catch the Wind,” “Sunshine Superman,” and “Mellow Yellow.” Often compared to Bob Dylan yet distinctly his own artist, Donovan’s introspective songwriting and warm delivery made him a pioneer of the flower power era, influencing generations of musicians and helping shape the sound of modern folk-pop.
