Thread Name: Lyr Req: Colours (Donovan)
Subject: RE: Help! A folk/pop song from the 60's?
Goodness, do I agree with that, Steve. Donovan seemed to adopt the look Dylan had (the buffalo hair), but his writing was always his own. I liked his voice and that mellow kinda thing he brought to his material. Listening to his material always takes me back to a certain summer in California, and it never fails to evoke feelings that I had then. Mostly it was a mad crush on a gal, but it was other things, too. He represented in some ways the 'flower child' image in my mind, and his voice will ever remind me of those gentle people.
