Donovan - Sunny Goodge Street

[jab3785]

I first heard this song on the Judy Collins album "In My Life". She did a brilliant version. Wonderful album too.

Judy Collins did a very nice version of this. His peers understood his talent. Congratulations, Mr. Leitch.

Obviously it's influenced by Dylan's stream of nonsense, but this has to be the earliest explicit example of psychedelia, preceding, as it did, even Norwegian Wood (which was pretty mild). Very outre arrangement, as well. Great stuff.

Thanks, love the jazzy feel, kinda like early Tull

Thanx to Donovan for giving birth to this song...but it was Judy Collins who turned this caterpillar into an exquisite butterfly.

Brilliant tune from 1965......"On the firefly platform on Sunny Goodge Street a violent hash-smoker shook a chocolate machine." Can someone tell me why this guy isn't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame??? Thanks for posting.

@ablestar88 because it's all about money

mind

Donovan is thought of as a folk singer

not

pop rock
