Donovan - Sunshine Superman (1966)
Jude McAllister
Sue Lyon came into Donovan's life at the end of 1965. This was two or three years before he met
his "Jennifer Juniper" (Jenny Boyd). Lyon had starred in "Lolita" and "Night of the Iguana" before
meeting Donovan. The couple dated until 1967 when Sue ended the relationship abruptly. Donovan
had evidently slipped LSD in Sue's and her friend's drinking cup at a party. Sue described her trip as
"frightening and disturbing" and she "felt her self-control disintegrating". After this incident Lyon never
spoke to Donovan again until 1975. The two are now good friends and Sue attended Ione Skye's
(Donovan's daughter) marriage to King Ad-Rock (with the Beastie Boys)
Seriously considering Donovan's conquests- Jenny Boyd, Linda Lawrence, Enid (I forgot her last name)
and now this chick!- Donovan was one chick magnet.

Donovan - Hurdy Gurdy Man (1968) HQ
MUNROWS RETRO
MONSTER psychedelic hit time! At least I think so. Most psychedelic bands began as folk rock groups (just ask Marty Balin of Jefferson Airplane who said so in an interview). Even Sean Cunningham of garage/psychedelic rock band Music Machine began as a folk singer. For that matter, so did Blondie vocalist Deborah Harry. Add a little fuzz guitar and some feedback, amp up the vocals and -- voila! -- folk rock suddenly is transformed into psychedelic rock. Mr. Balin, by the way, cited the Kingston Trio as an early influence. For that matter Arthur Lee of Love decided quite intentionally to take psychedelic music back to its folk music roots on his third LP, Forever Changes. I have always LOVED folk music, especially the Kingston Trio, but also Peter, Paul, and Mary, Bob Dylan, Simon & Garfunkel, and this iconic 60's performer and songwriter, Donovan.
Donovan, perhaps, is the most radical example of someone who went from folk to psychedelic rock in practically no time at all. He's the proof in the pudding of psychedelic's folk and folk rock beginnings. And his was a success story.
Enter this GIANT psychedelic classic from 1968: "Hurdy Gurdy Man." This is one of those hits that actually came to personify psychedelic music and the era. It is one heavy tune. It is one of many reasons I think 1968 was a bigger year than "the Summer of Love" year, 1967. Of course, some of the major music of 1968 was recorded in 1967, so let's keep that in mind too.
Some famous musicians played on this song, but I will quote from Wikipedia now because there appears to be some disagreements as to who: "In the booklet that came with Donovan's 1992 double CD, Troubadour: The Definitive Collection 1964–1976, Allan Holdsworth and Jimmy Page are listed as the electric guitar players and John Bonham and Clem Cattini (spelled as "Clem Clatini") as drummers on the recording. However, according to John Paul Jones, who arranged and played bass on the track (and also booked the session musicians), Clem Cattini played the drums and Alan Parker played the electric guitar. This line-up was confirmed by Cattini. In Donovan's autobiography, he credits Cattini (spelled as "Catini") and Bonham for the drums. On Jimmy Page's website, he lists this song as one on which he plays. Donovan said that Page was the guitarist in Hannes Rossacher's 2008 documentary Sunshine Superman: The Journey of Donovan, where he also asserted that the song ushered in the Celtic rock sound which would lead to Page, Jones, and Bonham forming Led Zeppelin soon afterwards. In Donovan's autobiography, he credited both Page and "Allen Hollsworth" as the "guitar wizards" for the song. However, he also says that "Hollsworth" had played with Blue Mink, which was a band that Alan Parker had played in. In the autobiography, Donovan said that perhaps this session inspired the creation of Led Zeppelin."
"Hurdy Gurdy Man" was recorded April 3, 1968, and was released in May 1968 (UK) and June 1968 (US) as a single. It reached #4 in the UK, and peaked at #3 on the US chart Cash Box (#5 on the Billboard Hot 100) on August 10, 1968.

1928 'Wampas Babes'
In February 1921, The Western Association of Motion Picture Advertisers (Wampas) was formed - made up of press agents for the various motion picture studios
and is recalled primarily for its (mostly) annual selection of (usually) 13 Baby Stars. "One of the most highly-prized honours which a rising young screen
actress can win is to be elected a Wampas Baby Star. It was formed in 1920 to exploit the press agents of the picture industry as a group and to make them
an integral part of the business. The baby star idea was to gain recognition for the organization, but we also had an altruistic motive in that we felt
there were many capable youngsters in Hollywood who deserved to be brought to the producer's attention."
Seven of the lucky thirteen from 1928 are draped over the car above and if you look at this close up picture, perhaps you can identify the girls from this list
of faces. Or if you prefer individual portraits then scroll down this page. We think we can spot Molly O'Day (at the wheel) and Sue Carol 2nd from left? - but we
know you will put names to all seven.
Other cars were used in publicity shots for these glamorous girls and 1927 Wampas Babe Natalie Kingston is pictured in the 1927 Jackman Special with special
'Rajo' Ford head. Kingston was lucky and enjoyed a successful career, but many Wampas stars saw their careers fizzle out after the initial publicity.
