Richie Havens ' career has come full circle. Back in 1967 he was one of first artists signed to the fledgling label Verve Forecast . Over the years he wandered from label to label, always on the move, much like his constant touring schedule over the years.

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.
