“Sunshine Superman” is a song written and recorded by Donovan. The song was written for Donovan’s future wife Linda Lawrence.
Chart positions were #1 (US), and #2 (UK). It was Donovan’s only single to reach #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 survey.
It has been described as having, “proven to be [one of the] classics of the era,” and as, “the quintessential bright summer sing along”.
“Sunshine Superman” subsequently became the title track of Donovan’s third album, Sunshine Superman. A different mix of “The Trip” (without harmonica) is also included in the album. It was the first product from the highly successful three-year collaboration between Donovan and producer Mickie Most and is generally considered to be one of the first examples of the musical genre that came to be known as psychedelia
