OMG,I don't know whether to jump up and down from the joy this song gives me, or weep from the beautiful intensity Richie pours into this rendition.He clearly loves and believes in what he does.May God continue to bless him with life,love and good health.

He's not sweating in a suit because he's not sitting on a stage in August just before a rainstorm where it was 89 degrees and humid.

I'm not sure about this, but I heard that freedom at Woodstock was an improv. If so, he is such a great artist.

The man who got half a million people to clap in unison... yes indeed.
