Even if you weren't at Woodstock,this is one of those performances that's hard to beat.Richie’s Woodstock appearance proved to be a major turning point in his career. As the festival’s first performer, he held the crowd spellbound for nearly three hours, called back for encore after encore. Having run out of tunes, he improvised a song based on the old spiritual "Motherless Child" that became "Freedom", a song now considered to be the anthem of a generation. Sometimes you have to go back and listen to this stuff, just so you don't forget how GOOD it was.(is).
