Donovan was one of the few artists to collaborate on songs with the Beatles, contributing lyrics and vocals to the song Yellow Submarine. Donovan was also invited by The Beatles to join them at Abbey Road Studios for the final orchestral overdub session for the Lennon-McCartney collaboration A Day in the Life, the grand finale of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. He influenced John Lennon, George Harrison, and Paul McCartney in their guitar styles, and during his career played with folk music greats Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, and Bob Dylan, as well as rock musicians Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones.
In the past five years, Donovan has completed the successful album Beat Café and a new box set, Try for the Sun: The Journey of Donovan, and book, The Autobiography of Donovan: The Hurdy Gurdy Man.
