FINALLY! DONOVAN P. LEITCH, one of the great artists of the 1960s, has been elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Donovan, who’s many hits include Sunshine Superman, Mellow Yellow, Colours, Catch The Wind, Season of the Witch, Atlantis, was one of our all time favorite FEST guests – in 2003 in the NY Metro and Chicago FESTS and in Las Vegas in 2008. Donovan was a vital part of the swinging 60s scene in London and was close friends with The Beatles. He went to India with them in 1968. His stories are fascinating, but his music is even better. We are thrilled for Donovan for the great honor. Congratulations. Now the HOF needs to honor Harry Nilsson, Billy Preston, Moody Blues and, of course, WINGS!

I agree with your suggestions about the omissions, but, I have to add Chicago, Yes and Ringo to the list.
absolutely agree with you.
Great, finally Donovan is now in the rock and roll hall of fame
I remember turning on Jersey Rock 98.1 on the radio of our rental car, when dad and I went to New Jersey by ourselves driving from Grandma Toni’s to Uncle Joe’s and Donovan would be on with Sunshine Superman before Lightning Strikes by Lou Christie. I wasn’t in New Jersey and Chicago when he performed in 2003 but I saw him at the 2008 Las Vegas fest with mom and dad.
