Donovan Philips Leitch (born May 10, 1946 in Maryhill, Glasgow), better known as simply Donovan, is a Scottish singer, songwriter, and musician. Originally a '60s folk singer, as the decade progressed Donovan cultivated his own unique eclectic sound, mixing elements of folk, pop, jazz, world music and more, often with a twinge of psychedelia.
An early appearance on pop programme Ready Steady Go! showcased a soft plaintive voice and a gift for harmony and he scored several hits on both sides of the Atlantic.
Hardly the trailblazer in his day, when folk was hot Donovan emerged, and when psychedelia was dripping from radios across the Anglophonic world sunshine came softly through Donovan’s window.
Forty years on it seems the uncharitable legend had a point: in Leeds the baby-faced slightly camp 59-year-old re-creates his youth with tales of hashish and songs about witches.
