Donovan was very popular in the early 70s. His soundtrack from Franco Zeffirelli’s

‘Brother Sun, Sister Moon’ (1973), a dramatization of events in the life of St. Francis of Assisi, is quite beautiful.

 

His other hits include:

 

Lalena

 

Mellow Yellow

 

and Lazy Day

 

:thumbsup:

Agreed CW ... Brother Sun, Sister Moon ... completely beautiful ... a lot of Donovan's music has this kinda 'mystical fairytale edge' ... simply magical.

 

Some of his more well known hits were:

 

Colours

Catch the Wind

Jennifer Junniper

Hurdy Gurdy Man

Sunshine Superman

 

But I kinda like a lot of his less we known stuff ...
