[XxBorellixX]

@lalenahart Love your name.

[XxBorellixX]

So beautiful. I love this song and Donovan. We still have our vinyl records and many of his albums. Sweet!

[2lostboy]

An all-time favorite Donovan song. I got his autograph once, and I smile whenever I see it and remember where I was during this, Season of the Witch, or a dozen others. Thank you for sharing.

[BenjaminFranklin99]

Donovan is so kind and empathic.

[midnighthanyou]

Why does he hold his guitar that way?

[Abbyjo8881]

I'm only 13, but I'm in love with the name Lalena. I'm going to name my kid after this song

[jms34668]

A beautiful tribute to the oldest profession.

[ScenesFromPalacio]

Such a beautiful song..Magical...Thanx for uploading :)

[hobartquins]

[jms34668]

@hobartquins Talking to the mirror again, Ho Bart?

[vegasshowgirlshoes]

Named my daugher after this song

[TheTrailerParkKids]

what an attractive guy eh? lovely song too.

[TheRivergreen]

superbe chanson

[usergently]

@berlits Amen!

[0917gva]

I love Donovan, but somehow missed this lovely song. What a voice. That is when one knows someone can really sing beautifully when they are not in a studio doing it with all the "whistles and bells" to enhance it. Just listen to that voice. It is like a little touch of heaven. I love it. Thank you for the Great Post. ;)

[TheDrunkenHer0]

If you favorite this song...

''Can't blame ya''

[SheDigsMeh]

My Girlfriends name is Lalena. :) ♥

[drguffey]

His tonal control & quality is amazing !!!

[johnbarry1965]

Donovan or Dylan? Donovan everytime, fabulous artist/performer!!!!!!

[MrJonesstones]

He has such a beautiful voice, fucking amazing!!

[shakenabyss]

[all4musica]

I have loved this song by Donovan for soo many years...my late husband introduced me to his music back in the 60's~~~~~Saw him perform live in the 80's...Just as Beautiful, too~A one man show~Love comes out everytime he sings~Thanks for sharing~

[tattoosuec]

donovan is an angel....and he isn't in the rock and roll hall of fame.....why is that? john lennon said: "look, donovan's a poet". so true, he deserves so much more recognition for his beautiful music.

[fockingclassy]

Ive never been scared before that a song would end. This is too gorgeous

[ariacurva]

La mia favorita tra le preferite di questo meraviglioso artista!

[rpanjos]

BEAUTIFUL...

[musiccomposesmylife]

when i first heard this song i started crying. its such a beautiful song.

[kodiakfred140]

He looks and sounds like a hobbit

[heehawluck1]

@kodiakfred140 And you sound like an imbecile.

[kodiakfred140]

@heehawluck1 I am an imbecile. But that doesn't change the fact that he looks and sounds like a hobbit.

[heehawluck1]

@kodiakfred140 Hate to break this to you.....hobbits are fictional characters created by J.R.R.Tolkien. To my knowledge, no one on this good earth knows, with any certainty, what they looked like. Unless you stumbled across them in one of your imbecilic wanderings? LOL

[kodiakfred140]

@heehawluck1 Wow- you certainly are obsessed with this, aren't you? Have you considered the possibility that maybe I'm just fooling around? Just because he looks and sounds like a hobbit doesn't mean any animosity should be directed towards me or anyone else. He was just born that way. You're starting to make yourself look like you have no sense of humor.

[heehawluck1]

@kodiakfred140 I'm not obsessed.....merely attempting to highlight your comments for what they are..... and

that is, inane drivel. I'm sure you believe you have a rapier-like wit but, apart from pandering to the monumentally moronic, your attempt at jest is little more than arrant twaddle. His appearence is what it is ... I notice with interest that you do not put a pic of yourself here for all to draw conclusions on YOUR outlandishly good looks?? People in glass houses...etc.,

[Gevipe20]

Deep purple are Better!

[Ziopanza]

@Gevipe20 never!

[heehawluck1]

@Gevipe20 At what?

[SAYZ]

Donovan had just written this , when I met him in Chicago .

He's really as beautiful a person , as his music is uniquely wonderous .

[Otispuss2]

@SAYZ I would love to pick your brain for memories! He has been an influence in my life since the 60's.

[halflight17]

love this sad sad song. love Donovan.

[TheLanceted]

i think deep purple's version is better

[michaeljh216]

Some one person has a broken pair of ears

[OhSoSwingin60s]

I grew up with this song :)

[lalenahart]

this is what I'm named after, maybe if I post it to my profile, people will know how to say my name. I've always had nick names cause it was such an unusual name. I didnt appreciate until recently. So its nice when people say it right

[TheTrickzta]

@lalenahart It's a beautiful song, it's a beautiful name. Peace.

[2lostboy]

@lalenahart - Gorgeous, gorgeous name, I sympathize with the spelling. But sometimes it's worth it to be special. In this case, I think it's worth it.

[tbirdtim]

I was digging this song when it first was released (back when I was 12). And I'm still digging it today. It's just a very cool tune (and arrangement).

[ComeonSense1]

this version is better than the deep purple one....

but deep puprle's version is better known

[lcsea4]

madamny, me too. My mom named me Lalena but she changed the spelling.

[all4musica]

Love this song..Donovan sings it so softly and Beautiful~

[tapeduk]

I love when Donovan looks at the camera--He's Great

[madamny323]

My parents named me as a result of this song :)

[boliboy2299]

this singer was so good that he even did some films soundtracks

[etks1957]

Great song. My favorite by Donovan.

[CaptainDuke71]

no words just listen to the violin...just let me play it my friend...tis just for everyone

[CaptainDuke71]

Trubador...oh my God so beautiful the strings/the reeds/the voice

[CaptainDuke71]

Trubador

[avsh52]

לכל אחד יש ללניה שלו, שאותה השאיר, אי שם, בנעוריו, על חוף שאין לו סוף.

אברהם

[danniblusanni]

this song I adored when I was 13 (now 39) it still touches my heart :)

(and what a beautiful man :)))

[edb081904]

When I was 17 I saw this man in concert ... in the 60's. One of the best concerts I have seen. He asked that we all be quiet (in this huge venue, Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino, California) and asked that the air conditioners be turned off so that we could hear him in the best way.....

[beckyroberts58]

OMG!! Who knew?? I never realized how awsome Donovan was!

[kevlar21059]

Amazing voice & guitar, plus he,s cute.

[vadimkorobicyn]

фанера конечно и он это знает.......

[mdonnelly1971]

He sounds like Tim Curry here. Bloody gorgeous stuff.

[GITANADENEGRO]

I named my daughter after this song in 1975 and she turn out to be the most beautiful girl check her out on face book La leyenda de Lalenya.

[Christmascamel]

Donovan is so sweet in this video

[guinevere4]

...Sigh! so beautiful...

[GreenBayLA]

Now I see where Bowie got it...

[paratodostodo1994]

I am since a long time a great fan of deep purple, but the original version by donovan is BY FAR BETTER

[lelan1973]

I absolutely LOVE this song, after all I was NAMED after it, my dad spelled is Lelainya which is different then the original spelling, it is haunting sweet and Donovan ROCKS!

[00vickaki00]

gzzzzzzzzz...

[Norikapirate]

this is ridiculous! Deeep purple is the best, and no cheating

[BarevEsEm]

lol, actually the author of the song is Donovan, not DP :D I agree DP did a grate cover, especially instrumental part with hammond organ, but the original is very soft and soulful, i like both of them=)

[smoocherz1]

If you can even compare this lovely soulful song to Deep Purple, you need some serious therapy

[Kenshinhiri]

@smoocherz1

Why?

[geiadude]

This is special to me. very personal.

[SandozSaxonWilliams]

donovan looks like george harrison

[ChrisCurtisFan]

Such a beautiful man and one of his most beautiful songs!

[grandbye]

hollywood palace was all lip sync i think.........

[GeekG]

what a waste, i thought lip sync was discovered in the 90s :)  i would want my money back if i came to see donovon and get THIS.

and i would not perform as artist, easier said yes. but that is bullshit. i rather hear an honest just guitar and voice version that is not perfect than this. for an lp fine but not live

[chrisharro]

I strongly suspect he's miming - this sounds exactly the same as the version I have on LP - nevertheless a gentle, poignant song - very Donovan.

[GeekG]

haha he is half a meter away from the MIC *lol*

[tage92]

Almost no shows like this were live back then. And it sounds the same.

[suzie0517]

yep this is the best one thanks for posting

[suzie0517]

hell of alot better than deep purple version

[nunofyourblissness]

Music such as this kisses my heart!

[WearsTheFire]

A must for my channel. Thanks for this delicate song.

[shivaboyd]

Absolutely FUCKING gorgeous, our Donovan is.

[zatopecara]

This clip is from a show called 'Hollywood Palace'. Thanks for posting it - it is a lovely song

[danieljohnfleet]

THIS WAS MY FIRST PURCHASED ALBUM.

[Siiilent]

God, I really love it. By Donovan and by Deep Purple.

For me - first was by Deep Purple. Anyway - this song is godlike. Thank you.

[GarryLoc]

so good words...

[felicianomiko]

Weird song. Still, it's hard to hate a song you were named after. ^_^

[11Tigeress11]

I dont remember where he was when he sang it, like to know though, gosh i love him ... ty4u 11Tigeress11

[xDxRabbitx]

I'm pretty sure it was Karensch01 or Karenscho1, however it's spelled, that had it.
