Donovan Philips Leitch is a British musician. Emerging from the British folk scene, Donovan shot to fame in Britain in early 1965 after a series of showcase TV performances. His success was initially restricted to Britain, but after signing with the American Epic Records label & joining forces with producer Mickie Most, he developed an eclectic but very successful style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia & world music. Donovan quickly rose to become one of the most famous & popular British recording artists of his day, producing a string of trans-Atlantic hit albums & singles between 1966 & 1970. He also became a close friend of The Beatles & was one of the few artists to collaborate on songs with them. Donovans commercial fortunes waned after he parted ways with Most in 1969 & although he continued to perform & record sporadically in the Seventies & Eighties he gradually fell from favor, with his gentle musical style & hippie image increasingly scorned by critics, especially after the advent of punk rock.
