Karen, Without checking the official sources, I'm going to say that Donovan
Leitch wrote the song, and that Dylan has enough of his own songs and
doesn't have to mooch any off of Donovan. Donovan did at least two versions
of his own song: One strictly acoustic and owing a lot to
Dylan's style.
The Wikipedia article on the song (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch_the_Wind_%28song%29 ) has lots of details on
the various artists that have covered it over the years, as well as an
explanation of why it was re-recorded for Donovan's Greatest Hits album.
