Did Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" really help create one of the greatest heavy rock bands of all time? That depends on who you ask.

Donovan tried to recruit Hendrix when he went in the studio in the late 1960s, but ended up working with the soon-to-be Led ...

Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man" wouldn't exist without members of Led Zeppelin. The tune paved the way for a lot of the band's later work.

As many pointed out in the comments, this blurs the line between a guitar and a hurdy gurdy.

If you’ve never heard a hurdy-gurdy before, you’re in for a treat. Not many people have, since they’re instruments which are uncommon outside of some eastern European communities.

Donovan collided with The Beatles and Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin when he recorded "Sunshine Superman." Page went on to help Donovan record another one of his classics.
