19) Nick Garrie, “Deeper Tones of Blue”

20) Tom Northcott, “Sunny Goodge Street”

Northcott’s cover of Donovan’s song reached #20 on the Canadian charts.

Donovan’s version:

21) Gil-Scott Heron, “Whitey on the Moon”

A new black poet indeed. Is this song satire or straight on? Well, Gil-Scott was born on April Fool’s Day.
