please help me determine the name of this musician.
he was a folk and/or rock musician. he was either american or from uk.
his career was short and died mostly because he was accused of being a Bob Dylan copycat.
he sung a song in which at a certain point he hums "De-De-de-de-de-de".

I have faced it, A life wasted...
Take my hand, my child of love
Come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean,
I've been crying all these years
Take my hand, my child of love
Come step inside my tears
Swim the magic ocean,
I've been crying all these years

Ah, wait. Of course. You're talking about Donovan, and his song "Catch the Wind"! Plenty of a dee dee deein' in that. But he's not dead. He just smells like it.

In the warm hold of your loving mind

To feel you all around me

And to take your hand along the sand

Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
When sundown pales the sky
I want to hide a while behind your smile
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.
For me to love you now
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

Dee de deeee
When rain has hung the leaves with tears
I want you near to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
For standing in your heart
Is where I want to be and long to be
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
