Donovan - Lassie Lay Down

[dsfddsgh]

Jennifer warnes was such a hippy chick in the late 60's wasn't she? I was only around 7, 8 years old at the time but i do remember a kinda nerdy girl with glasses on the show.

[Withshortwings]

Jennifer Warnes is one of the most underrated, under appreciated in history.

[Mllelaurel]

Jennifer Warnes is one of the best - and least recognized - singers of my generation. Love her work always!

[startrekkin1701]

Oh my goodness I love folk music so much.

[dourtan]

Smothers Bros. show was music at its best and political commentary!

[Kaitipoo]

I love this song and it makes me wish for the times of those singers. Some great songs back then.

[laurashe13]

Love the way they're singing this song - beautiful voices.

[tiredoldcrow]

theres a place in time, of reel and ryme, a taste of wine and we'll move on. a skip, a dance, a second glance then pay the fiddler for the song. but comes a chill with the autum air that the minstrel man and the dancer share, and we cried for the lady with the golden hair, when we heard that she was gone. so long mary RIP

[taddyd1]

thanks for the lovely poem.

just how I feel

[tiredoldcrow]

did you like my poem taddy? thanks, and wasn't Mary a beautiful person and what beautiful music she gave us.

[tiredoldcrow]

@tiredoldcrow Song in memory of the late great Mary Travers.

[mcjd43e]

Mary had such a warm heart. I miss her.

[swampzoid]

how very nice.

i didn't realize jenifer warnes was known then.

[54spiritedwill54]

awesome!

[VealParmigiana]

Donovan is one of my favorite singers, and this song is very relaxing. He is the all time greatest singer and song writer of bathroom tunes, (Intergalactic laxative, and The Pee Song.

[ValsHere]

Was that ever nice to watch. What a trio they make.

Love the hair and those funky clothes too

:)

[secordman]

I probably watched this at the time, not remembering it.  So this is Jennifer Warnes way back when.

[cjthemusicman]

Yes, that was a treat, Val. Thank you! Do you have any Scottish blood? You'd make a fine 'lass' .....

[cindyshealed]

This is wonderful, thank you so much.

[mikemusic333]

Terrific.

Like BeatnickManfred, also heard only on a bootleg album from the early 1970's. It is likely that the song was never included on any albums there were multiple artists performing. I think this song was done during a musician's strike, hence the guitar performance.

[BeatnikManfred]

Dear Friend,this is so wonderful..long time wanted this Video.I know this only from a Donovan Bootleg Album.

Many thanks for posting.

Love and Light...♪♪♪.Manni.♪♪♪

[dubldeka]

I had the same bootleg album.

I Assumed it was an audio clip from a concert and was blown away to see the video.

How wonderful this Internet thing is to link up all the jigsaw of the past.

[aujuma]

I have a reel to reel tape made off the TV of this! So nice to SEE it again!

[scottjs2002]

Oh Jennifer Warnes! No wonder I could not find her. She did some great songs--especially the theme song for the movie Norma Rae--It goes Like It goes!!!

[dreamrelics]

F***ing awesome! I have a tape with this cut, amazing to see it. I wish i could buy dvd's of every bit of vintage donovan.

[colinjohnrudd]

Mary Travers at your feet....what more could Donovan ask for! Lovely video.

[sixtieshead]

Do you know who the other woman is?

[Billboy10]

The other woman is Jennifer Warnes

[hmsdonovan]

I remember Donovan giving the title somewhere.

[hmsdonovan]

The Songs title is Lassie lay down

[2old2Rock]

Thanks for the info. I got that title off of a Smothers Brothers site.  I guess they had it wrong too.

[Papercop]

If I'm not wrong "To Love Me" is the correct title.

Donovan did write a song called "Lassie Lay Down", which is published on his "Love Is Only Feeling" album, but has completely different music and lyrics.
