Editing Donovan (section)

====Collaboration with Mickie Most====
In late 1965, Donovan split with his original management and signed with [[Ashley Kozak]], who was working for [[Brian Epstein]]'s [[NEMS Enterprises]]. Kozak introduced Donovan to American businessman [[Allen Klein]] (later manager of the Rolling Stones and, in their final months, [[the Beatles]]).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.beatlesbible.com/people/allen-klein/|title=Allen Klein|date=25 March 2008|website=The Beatles Bible}}</ref> Klein in turn introduced Donovan to producer [[Mickie Most]],<ref name="classicbands">{{cite web|url=http://www.classicbands.com/donovan.html |title=Donovan |last=Anon |work=www.classicbands.com |access-date=7 November 2009}}</ref> who had chart-topping productions with [[the Animals]], [[Lulu (singer)|Lulu]] and [[Herman's Hermits]]. Most produced all Donovan's recordings during this period, although Donovan said in his autobiography that some recordings were self-produced, with little input from Most. Their collaboration produced successful singles and albums, recorded with London session players including [[Big Jim Sullivan]],<ref>{{cite news|title=Guitarist Big Jim Sullivan dies|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-19820424|work=BBC News|access-date=23 February 2013|date=3 October 2012}}</ref> [[Jack Bruce]],<ref>{{cite web|title=Jack Bruce Discography – 1963–2010 |url=http://www.jackbruce.com/2008/Music/complete_discography.htm |publisher=www.jackbruce.com |access-date=23 February 2013}}</ref> [[Danny Thompson]],<ref>{{cite web |title=Donovan With Danny Thompson – Discography |url=http://www.45cat.com/artist/donovan-with-danny-thompson/all |publisher=www.45cat.com |access-date=23 February 2013}}</ref> and future [[Led Zeppelin]] members [[John Paul Jones (musician)|John Paul Jones]] and [[Jimmy Page]].<ref name=lz>{{cite web|title=Season of the Witch |url=https://www.allmusic.com/song/season-of-the-witch-mt0010623319 |publisher=www.allmusic.com |access-date=23 February 2013}}</ref>

Many of Donovan's late 1960s recordings featured musicians including his key musical collaborator [[John Cameron (musician)|John Cameron]] on piano, Danny Thompson (from [[Pentangle (band)|Pentangle]]) or [[Spike Heatley]] on upright bass, Tony Carr on drums and [[conga]]s and [[Harold McNair]] on saxophone and flute. Carr's conga style and McNair's flute playing are a feature of many recordings. Cameron, McNair and Carr also accompanied Donovan on several concert tours and can be heard on his 1968 live album ''[[Donovan in Concert (1968 album)|Donovan in Concert]]''.
