Richie Havens - "Wear Your Love Like Heaven"

[@voicegirl555]

Happy Happy 80th Birthday Richie Havens! You are so very missed! I wonder what songs you would be singing now. Your voice was such a balm to the soul and mind.

Yesssssss

[@larryrubin5150]

Play this at my funeral

[@MrBiscotti2011]

This is so magical. Love Donovan’s original but this is so cool. Hard to put into words. Love his Dylan and Beatles covers. This just kicks ass!

[@dolceanstar]

He also penned the only cover version that Bob Marley performed in his later years. Indian Rope Man reworked as African Herbsman

[@TheDman216]

I love how Ritchie made this sound all his own in his own way

[@petercremin742]

I sure do miss Richie

[@jesselau4457]

My absolute all time favorite by this minstrel from Gault. His take on a Donovon original; so earthy, down-to-earth; his uniquely moving, kinetic energy guitar style; the truly 1 of a kind great Richie Havens. RIP

Wear your glove like Kevin

[@leftyodoul]

Thanks so much for this! I've been hoping this would be posted for many years…Dig the Donovan original but Richie makes it his own…...

[@tompaul2591]

He does that with pretty much any cover. Wonderful interpretations.

[@reforest4fertility]

As with every so great a cover of a great original.

[@jackcarrack]

Thanks. Got this on vinyl, but never seen it on youtube before.

[@RaxOldies]

Jack...there was one a few yrs back from vinyl...had a few little very fine noises so you could tell it was direct from vinyl, but it seems to have disappeared. Glad you posted this fine version !! Thanks

[@RaxOldies]

I don't know why the album's titled 1983 but I met him at a concert 11 years later in 1994.

[@saskia316]

Whah wuhnt yew? Right now.

[@MichaelRobertsfdrtikol]

[ faye kane using M's account because I was banned for sex stuff ] Not only by far the shittiest cover of this song, but he gets the words wrong.

[@thomaspick4123]

Michael Roberts Sometimes words need to be changed to make them even better. I enjoy the way this artist interpreted songs. I have heard a number of artists change their original words later, to improve them. I appreciate songs being reinterpreted. Otherwise, one might as well listen to the original. Example, Misty, a jazz standard, was changed into a bluegrass hit by Ray Stevens years ago, simply by changing the genre.
