I saw Richie live once and he said "People spend so much effort trying to get to space, but what they don't realize is... we're already here."

I saw Richie at the Filmore East back in 1969 for my 10th birthday because my favorite album was Mixed Bag (I wish I could have seen him at Woodstock but I guess I was too young). I have owned his music on record, cassette, CD and digitally. I listen to him all the time. Thanks for the memories and the beautiful music. RIP

I met Richie when I was in college in the 80's. I asked to interview him, and he agreed even though I wasn't a journalist or anything. He gave me a very gracious 30 minute interview, and at the end, I discovered the batteries in my recorder were dead. He not only told me he'd wait for me to buy more batteries, he did a whole second interview, for 45 minutes. He didn't have to do any of that. An eloquent speaker, and a heckuva nice guy. I will miss his generous spirit, as well as his music.

Saw him on the Woodstock-DVD and was like "Who is this dude and why is he opening the festival?" Then I heard "Freedom" and was blown away.
