Donovan (born 1946)
singer, songwriter, guitarist and composer. Donovan was born Donovan Phillips Leitch in Glasgow on May 10, 1946.
He had his first success in 1964 in the TV show “Ready Steady Go” – and that without having released a record beforehand.
He released his first hit a year later in 1965 with Catch the wind. The songs Colors and Turquoise as well as Universal Soldier brought him further great successes.
He sang his moving suction Catch the wind accompanied by guitar and harmonica. He was initially heavily influenced by Bob Dylan, which led to his being referred to as a Dylan impersonator.
But already in 1966 he broke away from its influences and expanded the range of his songs with rock elements. Songs like Sunshine Superman, Mellow Yellow, Hey Gyp and Hurdy Gurdy Man come from this creative period.
One of his most famous songs was the folk ballad Atlantis from 1969, in which he initially speaks more than sings. His meditation journey with the Beatles to India, which lasted several weeks, is also remembered.
His performance at the Isle of Wight Festival was a great experience. In 1970 he had married Linda Lawrence (born 1947), the former girlfriend of guitarist Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones. In 1973 his album Cosmic Wheels was released.
And in the same year he sang the song Only The with John Denver on his show. In 2003 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Hertfordshire in England.
In 2009 he was awarded the Order of Arts and Literature by the French government. Donovan lives in Ireland with his wife Linda, with whom he has two grown daughters.
