Richie Havens with his parents, Richard and Mildred Havens in their Brooklyn home in 1970.
The musician, who opened the show at Woodstock, grew up with his family in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn but he bought them this home in nearby East Flatbush when his music career took off.
The Havenses had nine kids and, as Mrs. Havens told LIFE, "Richie is the only one whoโs really moved away. I canโt get rid of most of them".
