#Donovan #JohnLennon #60sMusic The Rise and Fall of Donovan — The FOLK ICON Who Taught John Lennon Guitar Then Vanished from Fame in September nineteen sixty six, a twenty year old kid from the slums of Glasgow had the number one single in America. He was personal friends with the Beatles. He was literally teaching John Lennon how to play guitar. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame would later say he single handedly initiated the psychedelic revolution. He had eleven consecutive top forty hits in just three years. And within five years of reaching the top, he would walk away from fame, walk away from millions of dollars, and disappear so completely that the world barely noticed he was gone. His name was Donovan. And this is the story of how a man can go from being the future of popular music to being completely, devastatingly forgotten, in less time than it takes most artists to release three albums. The rise and fall of Donovan is one of the most intriguing stories from the 1960s folk and psychedelic music era.
