Donovan, Scottish singer songwriter

Apr 29, 1965 - London, England, United Kingdom - Folk singer DONOVAN (born DONOVAN PHILIPS LEITCH, 10 May 1946) is a Scottish singer, songwriter and guitarist. He developed an eclectic and distinctive style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia, and world music (notably calypso). In mid-1966, Donovan became the first high-profile British pop star to be arrested for possession of cannabis. It had a serious effect on his career, because of the charges he was refused entry to the US until late 1967.
