Sunshine Superman

Donovan’s 1966 hit “Sunshine Superman” was a pioneering slice of psychedelic pop that topped the U.S. charts. Blending folk-rock with trippy production touches (sitar-like guitar, harpsichord), Donovan crafted a laid-back yet groovy ode to love and confidence. Name-dropping comic-book heroes amid the whimsy, the song heralded the psychedelic era’s arrival.
