"Don Quixote" was written and recorded by 1980s pop singer Nik Kershaw for his 1984 studio album The Riddle. Released in August 1985 as the final single from that album, it reached #10 on the UK Singles Chart in September 1985, and became Kershaw's seventh (and last) consecutive UK Top 20 hit single.[1]
A month before "Don Quixote" was released as a single, it was the last of four songs played by Kershaw at Live Aid. The others were previous singles "The Riddle", "Wouldn't It Be Good" and "Wide Boy".[2]
