Richie Havens Biography
Brooklyn-born Richie Havens grew up singing doo wop on street corners, but by the mid-1960s, he'd found his way to Greenwich Village, where he became an integral part of the singer-songwriter explosion alongside Tim Hardin, Fred Neil, et al. His gruff, soulful voice, unconventional guitar tuning, and highly rhythmic strumming style marked Havens as a unique stylist, and he became best known as an imaginative interpreter of material by Bob Dylan, the Beatles, and others. Havens's stirring performance of "Freedom" opened the 1969 Woodstock festival; captured on film, it made him an icon of '60s counterculture.
