Le chanteur, auteur-compositeur et guitariste écossais Donovan Leitch est l'une des figures les plus influentes de l'explosion de créativité musicale des années 60. Son intronisation en 2002 au Rock & Roll Hall of Fame confirme l'ingéniosité de Donovan qui a "initié à lui seul la révolution psychédélique" en mélangeant des éléments folkloriques, blues, jazz, classiques, latins et indiens. Donovan a enregistré une douzaine de succès au Top 40 au cours de sa carrière, dont certains des titres les plus mémorables de l'époque comme "Mellow Yellow", "Sunshine Superman" et "Season of the Witch". Avant cette incursion psychédélique, Donovan a mené une carrière plutôt réussie en tant que musicien folk, comme en témoignent les deux albums sortis en 1965, What's Bin Did and What's Bin Had - rebaptisé Catch the Wind aux États-Unis - et Fairytale. Bien que l'on puisse entendre des indices de la capacité de Donovan à expérimenter des genres différents dans "Sunny Goodge Street" de Fairytale, sa carrière a atteint une catharsis avec et après la sortie de Sunshine Superman en 1966. Le travail de Donovan pendant cette période est décrit comme suit : Sa musique n'était pas strictement rock ou pop, mais elle fonctionnait dans ces domaines à une époque où le psychédélisme dominait tout avec son approche exotique et sans frontières. Les singles "Sunshine Superman" et "Mellow Yellow" ont atteint les numéros un et deux, respectivement, des palmarès américains en 1966. En dehors de sa propre carrière, la brillance artistique de Donovan, les accolades de l'industrie et son style de vie contre-culturel ont fortement influencé la célèbre période d'exploration psychédélique/spirituelle des Beatles. En fait, Donovan a accompagné les Beatles lors de leur célèbre voyage de 1968 dans un ashram à Rishikesh, en Inde, pour étudier la méditation transcendantale avec le Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Par la suite, Donovan a contribué à plusieurs des chansons les plus mémorables des Beatles, comme "Julia", "Yellow Submarine", ainsi qu'à de nombreux titres de l'Album blanc. Âgé de 72 ans, Donovan continue de produire de la musique et de se produire sur scène.
