I love listening to his version of "Motherless Child" performed at Woodstock.

Richie Havens, who sang and strummed for a sea of people at Woodstock, has died of a heart attack Monday, his family said in a statement. He was 72.

Havens, a folk singer and guitarist, was the first performer at the three-day 1969 Woodstock Festival. He returned to the site during the 40th anniversary in 2009.
 
His finger nails always freaked me out. He was great though. RIP
