Wight is Wight is a chanson by the French singer Michel Delpech from 1969, which sings about a rock festival on the English island of Wight , which is considered an English counterpart to the famous Woodstock Festival . The names of Bob Dylan and Donovan are mentioned in the text, but they only took part in this festival in 1969 and 1970. The song also makes ironic reference to the song Black is Black , released in 1966 by the Los Bravos group .
