  • This man had a god-given gift.

    It's a damn shame that it will never be fully realized by the entire world.

    Roger Ridley will forever live on through his music.

  • @j00kster I think his music is now being realized by the whole world. Unbelievable voice! Can't believe there are so many people just walking past him. If I was there I would sit and listen to him all day and night.

  • shiiiit,. music that touches directly to the soul

  • I love this

  • Homeless people don't deserve to live on the streets. Rich greedy people need to give up their money and stop spending it on themselves, feed the world.

  • I have this song on CD by Sam Cooke from the 1960s, which is fantastic. This song sung by Roger is amazing. The man is channelling the voice of God to us. R.I.P.

  • This is what happens when the music is the soul. Not the money, the fame, or any other bullshit. Don't die with the music still inside you, wherever and whatever you play. God Bless

  • awesome man... buskers are talented asz

  • I miss Santa Monica only when I'm watching this :)

  • Comment removed

  • This how blues started...a black man playing the pains he has...

  • He is poor but his voice is like an angel and is more valuable than riches that other men have

  • There should be one person like this on every street, and watch violence disapear.

    Travel the world, buy one random person passing an ice cream, and ask them to pay it forward :) Peace

  • The rawness of their voices is so pure. You can tell it comes from the heart and soul. Love you all! God bless.

  • Great song beautifully performed and the child dancing makes it that all the more special. Simply wonderful !

  • im feeling it. those people walking past this guy are way to busy with life this was a stop an smell the roses moment..

  • R.I.P. man... R.I.P.

  • 彼は神様ですね この素晴らし声 感動しました

    彼の様に 僕は強く生きていきたい 彼に後悔は全く見受けられない

    こんな 人生を送りたい

  • Simply Wonderful.

    Pure music, songs that touch and inspire, not only for entertainment.

    Thanks!

  • every single hair in my body is standing up now...there is an extreme joy trickling down all my senses...can't explain the exact feeling...

  • ....THIS IS IT!...MAGIC!!....

  • sooooooooooooo good! really!

  • I like too much this song !

    Ho yhea ... !

  • sounds like otis redding a bit

  • What a great voice , so much soul in it.

  • THIS IS REAL GREAT TALENT!! HE SHOULD BE DISCOVERED LONG TIME AGO! HE IS AS TALENTED AS THE LEGENDS -LITTLE RICHARD,TEMPTATIONS,RAY CHARLES AND SO ON...! I LOVE THE WORK AND THE IDEA OF PLAYING FOR CHANGE !!! BRAVO FROM BULGARIA!!!!!

  • Real Music is creation; you are creating a sound that is truly yours. It’s like reaching out into the universe and holding one single, beautiful sound and saying, that is me. I am that. To play the beat of your soul...it's something more precious than all the gold in the world, a corporate career, fashion, It's the one thing no one can take from you. They can strip you of your land, your dignity, they can beat you, they can kill your people. They cannot take your song. You existed.

  • This is even better than the original in my opinion, I just can't  put to words how good this is

  • just imagine what the world would be like if this is the type of talented singers that made it big instead of beiber lady gaga and the rest of the BS thats out there

  • I Love you Roger Ridley. !!

    Ur Voice/Music makes me feel happy again, after some more struggle.

    Ur that tiny bit of sunshine in my world covered with nearly black clouds.

    so once again: I LOVE U

    keep it up

  • i simply cant understand why you dislike a video like this... do you know why he is playing?

  • Comment removed

  • @CdTDroiD 34, it's contagious it seems. How sad.

  • @CdTDroiD these songs are about bringing peace around the world. if they don't like it they don't like it. and it was completely wrong on your part to use the word "retard"

  • @CdTDroiD, yep including you

  • Respond to this video...  This is mean!! Feel the soul in his singing and voice.

  • @CdTDroiD

    didnt mean to thumb down that comment,my bad dude

  • @CdTDroiD Calling them retarded because they don't like this music? CdTDroid, that is what Playing for Change is against! You need to accept they don't like this. You must still love those people, show them love and know that they are human beings.

    Rest in Peace Roger

    I love you brother!

  • @Lheimrey Very ture mate ;) Deleted comment... I just loved it :D
