Biography

Donovan Leitch (born 10th May 1946) is a Scottish singer-songwriter who emerged as part of the mid-1960s folk music scene. Donovan was born in a tenement in Maryhill (Glasgow), the son of a lathe operator, although the family moved to Hatfield (England) in 1956. At first he was called the British answer to Bob Dylan, despite the fact that his own vision and style couldn't be more different from Dylan's. Donovan first hit the pop charts in 1965 with his single "Catch the Wind".
