это правда, что все это было чистой воды импровизация, прямо на сцене?
(я имею ввиду, конечно, Вудсток...)

Знаете, я там не была, но почему-то думаю, что правда.

Вы про песню? В смысле, была ли она написана до исполнения в Вудстоке?
Чего не знаю, того не знаю. Но в том, что все это было настоящее, а не постановочное, уверена.

But it was Richie’s reputation as a live performer that first earned him widespread notice. His Woodstock appearance proved to be a major turning point in Richie’s career. As the festival’s first performer, he held the crowd spellbound for nearly three hours (in part because he was told to perform a lengthy set because many artists were delayed in reaching the festival location), and called back for encore after encore. Having run out of tunes, he improvised a song based on the old spiritual “Motherless Child” that became “Freedom”, a song now considered to be the anthem of a generation. The subsequent movie release helped Richie reach a worldwide audience of millions.

Following the success of his Woodstock performance (where he actually improvised his International hit "Freedom" live, on-stage, (he credited the crowd as his inspiration for the lyrics) and the ensuing Woodstock Documentary release, Richie started his own record label, Stormy Forest, and delivered "Stonehenge" in 1970.
