The 65-year-old Donovan was inducted Saturday night in Cleveland by fellow Hall of Famer John Mellencamp, who said he was in seventh grade when he bought his first Donovan record in 1965. Mellencamp said his work was inspired by Donovan's melodies, lyrics and arrangements. Mellencamp says listening to Donovan taught him "how to play those songs."
