Donovan

Scottish singer-songwriter who was a major figure in the British folk revival and psychedelic music of the 1960s — known for Catch the Wind, Sunshine Superman, and Mellow Yellow — and who studied Transcendental Meditation with the Beatles at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram.

Bridged British folk and psychedelic music — taking the acoustic sincerity of the folk revival and combining it with the studio experimentation of the psychedelic era — and his association with the Beatles and Maharishi helped establish meditation's entry into Western popular culture.
