This world was never meant for one as beautiful as Richard. His road was hard, but it was his. I admire Levon for keeping his name front and center, along with Rick and Garth. Richard WAS Soul, pure and unafraid to let it express itself... he was fearless and led by a higher power to summon the creative energy to make this music. There will never be another Richard Manuel, and it's sad, Most People Don't Know Richard well enough, or in context, and he was not of this world. He, Rick and now Levon are closing the shows at the daily music festival in Heaven. Earth bound angels loaned to us for a certain time... lucky to even hear this in your life.

Beautiful testimonial to an amazing singer. And it's so true, not many knew just how sensitive and beautiful he really was....could have had a singular career and would have STILL been making the ladies swoon!

He was loved and admired by many more important than this one. Here is a list of many who paid him tribute: In 2002, the Japanese label Dreamsville Records released Whispering Pines: Live at the Getaway, which contains selections from a solo performance by Manuel, recorded in Saugerties, New York, in October 1985. Former bandmate Robbie Robertson's song "Fallen Angel" (1987), former bandleader Ronnie Hawkins's song "Days Gone By" (1995) and the Band's song "Too Soon Gone" (1993) are all tributes to Manuel.[14] Eric Clapton's 1986 album, August, features his tribute to Manuel, entitled "Holy Mother". The San Francisco-area group the Call, who had collaborated with former Band members Hudson and Robertson, dedicated the video for their 1986 single, "Everywhere I Go", to Manuel. Counting Crows recorded the song "If I Could Give All My Love (Richard Manuel Is Dead)", released on their 2002 album Hard Candy. The Drive-By Truckers' song "Danko/Manuel" was released on their album The Dirty South in 2004. Head of Femur included "Song for Richard Manuel" on their 2005 release, Hysterical Stars. In 2008, the Michigan roots quartet Steppin' In It released the album Simple Tunes for Troubled Times, which contains the song "The Ghost of Richard Manuel", while Isaac Gillespie's album 1971 features "Richard Manuel the Pacifier". The Vancouver band Books & Branches' album Caribou Whispers features a song entitled "Richard Manuel". Ray Lamontagne referred to the singer during his performance on the BBC program Songwriter's Circle. In 2012 Black Prairie released A Tear in the Eye Is a Wound in the Heart, which includes the song "Richard Manuel".

Richard Manuel a great musician and a great voice

Wow. I think the sound quality of this recording makes it awesome. Its like an old 78 my dad used to play.

Beautiful. An amazing artist gone way too soon.

He hits highs that no one else who sang this song can or did. And there were others who did this great. Vale, Gilley....and Ray Charles. There is no touching Richard.

Would have been Richard's birthday today. RIP.

whoa

This sounds like it was recorded when they had Jerry Penfound on sax, because I hear Garth's organ all over the place behind the sax accompaniment. Thank you for posting.

Richard Manuel, Quite Simply Put, The Best

What was the source for this? Is there more?!?!
