Bobby Gentry and Donovan!!! Wow what a gem. My favorite Donovan song. I still sing this song to my self every day while working sixty years after it came out. This has more than made my day. Thank you.
The Bobbie Gentry series was a 6-week special, broadcast weekly from July 13 to August 17, 1968. It featured musicians from the Mississippi countryside, as well as guests such as Donovan, the Hollies, Glen Campbell, James Taylor, Randy Newman, Elton John, Alan Price, Billy Preston, and Pan's People.
While you are finding Video of Donovan..is there any video of "Hampstead Incident" or Young Girl Blues" from the 60s? I know the film of Donovan in Rome 1968 has that song...but it's not on youtube.
I dare say this was perfection. Sung as a ‘round’ in the style of Row Your Boat. Challenge enough, but then each singer swaps the vocals? That’s crazy to pull off and it worked so well! 👏 👏👏
