Neil Young - Heart of Gold (Live at Farm Aid 1985)

Neil Young sings "Heart of Gold" at Farm Aid in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985.

Neil Young is a co-founder and board member of Farm Aid, along with Willie Nelson, and John Mellencamp. The three agreed that family farmers were in dire need of assistance and decided to plan a concert for America. The show was put together in six weeks and was held on September 22, 1985 in Champaign, Illinois before a crowd of 80,000 people. It raised over $9 million for America's family farmers. Performers included Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, B.B. King, Loretta Lynn, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty and many more.

Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's Board of Directors in 2001 to help further Farm Aid's mission of keeping family farmers on their land.

'I want to live, I want to give". Probably the best lyric in rock and roll history!

Hello, I am Marissa an independent artist. I have all original material and only one cover piece.I try to put out quality music. This is why I have a following. People take free music and artists for granted, don't donate to them, and expect that they work full time to put out free music for an ungrateful public. It took 80 thousand US dollars to invest in everything that I do and my musical education. I am not rich. I took loans. Please try to be more kind and gentle on all artists.
