The mighty voice that opened the Woodstock Festival has passed away at 72 years young.

His interpretation of "Here Comes The Sun" is one of my favorites.

I loved his raspy Alarm Clock vocals as well. An amazing artist. He made us all feel the music.

R.I.P. Richie.

I saw him in the mid '70s, he was a great artist.

And, the only one who would agree to be the first to go on stage and play, at Woodstock.
