Richie Havens - Singer - Songwriter
Richie Havens came by to visit us at "Good Morning San Diego" on KUSI on August 25, 2006.
Richie Havens is gifted with one of the most recognizable voices in popular music. His fiery,
poignant, always soulful singing style has remained unique and ageless since he first emerged
from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960's. It's a voice that has inspired and
electrified audiences from the Woodstock Music & Arts Fair in 1969, to the Clinton Presidential
Inauguration in 1993 -coming full circle with the 30th Woodstock Anniversary celebration,
"A Day In The Garden", in 1999.
For over three decades, Richie has used his music to convey messages of brotherhood and personal
freedom. With more than twenty-five albums released and a touring schedule that would kill many
a younger man, he continues to view his calling as a higher one. As he told The Denver Post, "I
really sing songs that move me. I'm not in show business, I'm in the communications business.
That's what it's about for me".
A song that Richie co-wrote, (Handsome Johnny) which was on his first album, was my Trivia Question
Of The Day. His co-author was Academy Award winning actor Lou Gossett, Jr.
