	Mickie Most - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mickie Most, born Michael Peter Hayes (June 20, 1938 - May 30, 2003), successful record producer notably with a string of Number 1 hit singles with his own RAK Records label and acts such as The Animals, Herman's Hermits, Donovan and Suzi Quatro.
		Most was also a panellist on various television talent shows such as ITV's New Faces and presented Revolver, a program devoted to punk rock which was at odds with his "studio factory" approach to music.
		Most was one of the first producers to own the rights to his own records and his RAK Studios, opened in 1976 in St John's Wood, remains active.

	Donovan Leitch (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		His commercial fortunes waned after he parted ways with Most in 1969, and although he continued to perform and record sporadically in the Seventies and Eigthies he gradually fell from favour, with his folksy musical style and 'hippie' image increasingly scorned by critics, especially after the advent of punk rock.
		Most's commercial instincts were spot-on, and the song became one of Donovan's biggest hits, going Top 5 in both the UK and the USA and Top 10 in Australia.
		Most objected to 'hangers-on' in the studio and "a lot of goings-on that I didn't like" so Most gave Donovan an ultimatum -- he was paying for the session, he said, and Donovan could either do it his way or take a walk.
