What I wonder is how the 3 "dislike" people got here.

Richie Havens should not come up when searching for "most recent crapfest music."

[siemonjf]

try Jesse Farrow,songwriter

...from the album of the same name,QSMS/quicksilver messenger service

Havens does a great job as usual -

the song however is not of his creation.

So now I read the comments...Who actually wrote it?

[jackindydude]

This has been one of my favorite songs for years and years, and I didn't know until now is was written by Ritchie Havens...WOW...COOL

P.S. Ratscisum...It isn't a cover...He wrote it...

[ratscisum]

Beautiful cover by a soul with feeling.

Someone disliked this. Either a foolish kid who didn't feel it was tricked out enough or someone who doesn't know what to do about me. 

[Curt6900]

What about me" by quicksilver messenger service..one of the greatest 60tys albums ever!!

[pweener]

Don't usually like remakes, but this ones rings out beautifully. 

[beowulven]

Written by Chet Powers AKA Dino Valenti, AKA Jesse Oris Farrow.

[spacepatrolman]

@beowulven in think chet power was some name the publisher stuck on dino valentis song get together when he sold it for $30

i love richie and the message he carries to the world.we are told as kids to talk but never trained to LISTEN

[DsveysNavy]

Groovy man...I wonder if he and QMS ever performed this song together...Gob Bless You Brother Richie

[mackan35]

This is a song about the system today...

[NetFilmMusicDotCom]

Love this man. Gave him a hug and told him that once. Great moment for me I like to brag about. I asked him "What happened to the hippies" He said' they got jobs and had children and are carrying it on in other ways...' Richie has the uncompromising message . Most hippies sold out.
