Well, I started by looking for Donovan doing “Catch the Wind” (maybe some other week) which linked me to Donovan doing “Universal Soldier” where I found this video of Buffy Sainte-Marie doing that very same song. I decided on this one because I loved the intro, illustrating once again the great way in which music cross pollinated in the 60s. I don’t even remember “Music Scene”, but there it is with David Steinberg as host, and Bo Diddly, Lee Michaels, John Sebastian and Buffy Sainte-Marie as guests with Special Guest Host Groucho Marx. You couldn’t make that up.

Some of the commenters on the youtube site think Buffy was singing a Donovan song, but the fact is that Donovan made a hit out of a Buffy Sainte-Marie song.
