Love him to bits! So diverse!

Folk, jazz, reggae, country, rock, pop....!

Sadly his popularity started to dwindle in the early 70's but he continues to release great music and was only inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame last year!!!

Any more fans?

Met him and his manager outside Olympia (London) in 1960, they were standing on the pavement and Donovan was going through his repertoire, his talent & presentation greatly improved year after year

I have always liked Donovan and enjoyed the documentary shown on Sky Arts 1 which showed just how much a gentle person he is. He has a solid bedrock of fans and well deserved too.
