Richie Havens dead

[Oberon]

Can't say I've heard much of his stuff (listening on youtube now) but he was an icon of a concert which has become legendary. So, rest in peace Richie, and thank you for the music.

Hardly one of his biggest hits, but this very old song he did for the album Songs Of The Civil War has always been one of my favorites.

He was one of those artists who tended to remain little known by thye general public, but who had a great influence on many better known performers. RIP, Mr. Havens...
