ChevyVanMiller Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Loved Richie, especially his version of Dylan's "Just Like a Woman." Rest in Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I like the story behind his performance there, that he was the only one available, because others were stuck in traffic, so someone found him a guitar and he went out. After singing a few songs, he tried to leave the stage, but there still wasn't anyone else able to go on, so organizers asked him to keep playing. http://woodstock.wikia.com/wiki/Richie_Havens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
