Oh, please, somebody besides me remember Donovan, too.

[LRS]

Oh, yes. I was once a Donavan fan.

[Chi-townChief]

Sunshine Superman was good and Mellow Yellow was listenable but the moronic songs about Atlantis, the mountain, and his shirt are still among some of the worst music ever produced.

I used to like "Catch The Wind" and he had a few others that were listenable -- "Jennifer Juniper" was harmless enough. But he did seem to become increasingly empty-headed as he went along, leading up to, as was mentioned, "The Continent Of Atlantis" or whatever the official title was. How about "I Like My Shirt." Not sure what hallucigen induced that one. Just thought of a few others -- "There Is A Mountain" and "Universal Soldier" and "Hurdy Gurdy Man."

"Catch The Wind"? I remember Donovan, the 2nd rate Bob Dylan.

I may even have had a Donovan LP, but I was more Rolling Stones than flower power.

[Rummyfan]

Just call me Mellow Yellow!

[LexBaird]

Oh, please, somebody besides me remember Donovan, too.

Quite right, Slick.

The best song by Donovan was a love song:

Catch The Wind

In the chilly hours and minutes
Of uncertainty
I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind.

To feel you all around me
And to take your hand
Along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky
I wanna hide a while
Behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing,
T'would make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Dee dee da da la da da da da da
Ya da da, da da, da da

When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near
To kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standing in your heart
Is where I wanna be
And I long to be,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
...
