Ritchie Havens is gifted with one of the most recognizable voices in popular music. His fiery,poignant, always soulful singing style has remained unique and ageless since he first emerged from the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960's. It's a voice that has inspired and electrified audiences from the Woodstock Music and Arts Fair in 1969, to the Clinton Presidential Inauguration in 1993-coming full circle with the 30th Woodstock Anniversary celebration,"A Day In The Garden",in 1999. Ritchie's Woodstock appearance proved to be a major turning point in his career. As the festival's first performer, he held the crowd spellbound for nearly three hours, called back for encore after encore. Having run out of tunes, he improvised a song based on the old spiritual "Motherless Child" that became "Freedom", a song now considered to be the anthem of a generation.
