Folk singer and guitarist Richie Havens, who opened the 1969 Woodstock music festival with a legendary and lengthy set that helped make him famous, died Monday at age 72.
His family says Havens died of a heart attack, and that a public memorial will be announced later. A statement on his official website posted before Havens' death says that the singer never fully recovered from kidney surgery he underwent several years ago.

My favorite.
When I hear his name, that is the song that comes to mind.

I believe I did hear his version, before I ever heard The Beatles version, and yes, I preferred Richie’s version.
