Donovan is seen as many things in popular music, folk singer, fey hippy, beatnik, Bob Dylan clone, psychedelic minstrel, self promoter and more. His chart pedigree during the sixties is unquestionable and he surely cannot be denied an important place in the rapidly evolving musical and social developments of that era. Here we look at the innovative, stranger aspects of his work, incorporating but also looking far beyond his chart hits and trying to explore where he was influential. In this we will keep out of the debates as to the extent of his influence but draw out the key points in his career that will be particularly of interest to readers of this site.
