Donovan Leitch nasceu em 10/05/1946 em Glasgow (Escócia).
Aprendeu cedo a tocar guitarra, tinha talento com os instrumentos e a música folk, como Woody Guthrie. Com 18 anos foi convidado para tocar em um programa de TV chamado "Ready Steady Go".
Com seu álbum de 1965 "What's Bin Did and What's Bin Hid", Donovan fora, à época, comumente comparado a Bob Dylan. Mas Donavan era diferente. No mesmo ano, entretanto, o álbum "Fairytale" denota uma evolução singular em suas composições
