We're still in the UK, but we're in Scotland now. This is where we will find our next artist. Originally a folk artist in 1965, He quickly developed an eclectic and distinctive style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia, and world music (notably calypso). A fun fact about this next song is that he had originally hoped Jimi Hendrix would play on the song, but he was unavailable. This is the title track of his 1968 album...
George's number 5 song is...
Donovan ~ Hurdy Gurdy Man
"Thrown like a star in my vast sleep
I open my eyes to take a peep
To find that I was by the sea
Gazing with tranquillity.
'Twas then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love,
Then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man
Came singing songs of love.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang.
Hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, hurdy gurdy, gurdy he sang."
