IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HEAVEN WILL FEEL LIKE, LISTEN TO THE MASTER

Nice. Mr. Havens does the song justice, unlike certain children of popular protest singers.

When did pop music stop being well written 2-3 minute masterpieces? Today a pop song is just a bunch of grunting and swearing and smelly breathing Richie is a lot of fun to listen to when he is doing his cover versions....He was great at Woodstock and he is still wonderful and joyful to listen to...

@fmazzar pop music isn't popular anymore, i believe it is dance music you're referring to, dance music is all that is being play on the radio these days. but there are plenty of modern great songs, you just need to go out and find them.

Great ! Always liked this song by the BeeGees , but Richie does a nice cover.There was this awesome video on here a few weeks back of Richie singing "Trouble in Mind" with the Preservatio Hall Jazz Band. It was the finest version of that song I've ever heard , but it was taken down because of some copyright stuff. If you're a Richie Havens fan , you have to hear that.

@TweekDash No its not the same artist, search for "wallflowers i started a joke" here on youtube.

Richie Havens is is awwwwwwwwwsome. I love his "Freedom" sung at Woodstock. As rousing as Mel Gibson's "Freedom" in Braveheart. "Sometimes I feel like a motherless child, a long long long way from home."

Man. What a great effing cover of this song!! The Brothers Gibb had a hell of a way of writing tunes that fit other performers, almost better than themselves.

Yeah Richie.
