Song 350: Atlantis

One of the forgotten stars of the late 1960s is Donovan.  He had some great songs, and is primarily seen as part of the “hippie music” scene.  He actually had a commune for a while in the 1960s.

Atlantis was not supposed to be the hit of the 45 released, but apparently disc jockeys like it better than the expected hit.  It has a great chorus refrain, but I tend to think it is a little marred by how long the spoken part is in the beginning of the song.  Not enough to prevent it from being listed here.
