    John Sebastian giving a perfect example of how a harp blends and accentuates without ever getting in the way. Intelligent, inventive and soulful.

    This is exactly the kind of thing that makes TH-cam such a wonderful resource. Never would have guessed that these three guys played together. And damn, it's so good.

    An attribution would have been nice. It was Cliff Richard in 1961 who had the original hit. For me Cliff nailed it and made the song his.

    Good version of Cliff's old song which I've always liked (oh no) but I don't know how Donovan could not know who first recorded it. After all, he must have looked up the words and I personally would want to know who first did it. My guess is that he didn't want to admit to singing a Cliff song.

    for those of you who didn't realize how great a harmonica player John is that's him on the Door's Road house Blues

    I am a hugh Donovan fan and this is the first time I have ever heard him perform this song! It's fantastic! Last saw Donovan in concert a few years ago now up in Monterey, California.
    Thanks for posting this song!

    Travelling Light was a hit for Cliff Richard, this year he had a top 5 album in the Uk charts, only artist to have a top five album in eight different decades.

    What a find - I had no idea John Sebastian could play harmonica so beautifully.

    A Cliff Richard tune. Herman's Hermits also covered it.

    As much beauty as the harp has given me,falling upon this song has moved me. That was the good stuff
