Famed folk singer Richie Havens, famous for his intense, rhythmic guitar style and soulful covers of pop and folk songs, died Monday of a sudden heart attack. He was 72.
Havens is probably best know as the unlikely opening act at the 1969 Woodstock music festival. He was only 28 years old when he performed at Woodstock, yet somehow he seemed so much older to me back then.
