    Richie Havens passes away at the age of 72...

    I know that there are fans of Richie here on the museum. So sad to hear about a true folk legend. When I was younger I used to hate his version of "Here Comes The Sun". But over the years I've learned to love it and his cover of Dylan's "Just Like A Woman" is unmatched in Dylan covers. RIP Richie.

    Richie Havens, a Brooklyn-born folk singer whose husky voice, open-tuned guitar and pointed protest hymns welcomed the hippy masses to Max Yasgur's farm at the original Woodstock, died suddenly at his home on Monday of a heart attack. He was 72.
    "When not too many people can see we're all the same
    And because of all their tears,
    Their eyes can't hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn't it a pity".

    - "Isn't It A Pity"
    By George Harrison
