Catch The Wind

He was huge in the 60s, at one point giving Bob Dylan a run for his money as the most popular folk artist of his time. Today is Donovan's birthday. He's 63. And here is one of his more thoughtful tunes, his first ever release in March 1965. It reached #4 in the UK and #23 in the US.
