Superb acoustic cover of the Beatles' classic Lady Madonna in the inimitable style of Richie Havens. Issued in the UK in May 1969.

How the HELL can you dislike Ritchie Havens??? For all the great acts at Woodstock, I think that Ritchie Havens (and Santana doing Jingo) were some of the best and also some of the least "hyped" compared to say Jimi's "star Spangled Banner" (I'm a Jimi Hendrix nut for refrence) and Crosby Stills and Nash etc. I LOVE Ritchie Havens. look up him playing Dylans "Just Like a Woman" on OPB back in the 90's I believe... It's also amazing.

I like every one else on this planet is entitled to there own opinion. I like Richie Havens too but In my personal opinion no one tops/or is better than
The Beatles.

Not to take anything away from Richie Havens, but I do think the Beatles sing their songs much better.

Have been a big fan of Richie since I first saw him live. A wonderful singer of songs, really makes them his own which is no easy feat considering the artists he covers ( Dylan, Beatles, ...) And a truly lovley man to boot,,........................
