Donovan Leitch, born May 10, 1946 in Glasgow, Scotland, is a pop performer who rose to fame in the 1960s. He usually was known only by his first name. He was promoted as "the English Dylan, but in fact he was both more "flower power" than Dylan and more of a rocker.
His first international hit was "Sunshine Superman", which was followed by "Mellow Yellow", which became his signature tune (Paul McCartney can be heard whispering on it). Donovan's snarling "Goo-Goo-Barrabajagal" is perhaps the hardest rocking mystical evocation of Christianity ever recorded, while "Atlantis" is as pagan and hippy-dippy as they come.
Two of Donovan's children, Donovan Leitch and Ione Skye, became actors.
