  • Je suis fan de la première heure de playing for change dont l'esprit va bien au delà de la musique. Et en particulier de Monsieur Grandpa Elliot, avec un grand M. C'est avec ce genre de projet que l'on peut croire encore en l'homme. Les commentaires dans toutes les langues prouvent l'universalité du message. "Playing for change" et en particulier Grandpa Elliot. Merci,

  • @micowber I wouldn't call Elliott unnoticed. He's been on the Tonight Show, the Colbert Report. He performed at Doger Stadium. I think he's finally getting the recognition he deserves, and I commend him for it!

  • I'm heading down to NOLA to see my baby girl at Tulane in a couple of days. She is my number one priority to see down there. But I know, as usual, we will peruse Royal Street to hear Grandpa and the others, if they are inclined to grace us with their love. Amazing....

  • De lo mejor el viejito este jajaja, maravilloso !!!

  • I wish he was my grandpa, damn that man is a genious :)

  • Grandpa Elliot is a fine musician as are thousands of street musicians world wide. I feel many of these musicians are "street musicians" because they do not want to be restricted by the producers and excutives of the record labels. It is great that Playing for Change and YouTube provide a menu for people to enjoy these musicians talent and music. Thank you!!!!!

  • Oww, I'm not particularly sensitive but this guy brought tears to my eyes...*sigh*

  • Nice, mellow too. Now I have to go buy it!

  • 4 people will can't never understand anything...

  • I'd wish he was my grandpa...

  • very good.............

    

  • Nonno Elliott sei meraviglioso!!!

  • "lets teach the world that some of the best music we have ever heard comes from the streets!!! " Truer words were never spoken. I would rather hear a street performer ANY day over some of the ones they have on stage that don't sound even half as good as they do on the radio! 

  • Grandpa?What are you doing on youtube?

  • me too my heart will stop beating w/out grandpa elliot!!!!!gogogogo..........g­randpa!!!!!!

  • Maravilhindo!!!

  • je suis de france et j'adore ce que vous faite merci a vous il faut des gens comme vous dans le monde ou en est !!!!! respectueusement

  • Grandpa Elliott rocks!!

  • How can you not love this old timer? He's so epic!

  • COOLEST GUY ON EARTH

  • this is such inspiration, i was hoping to leave school and become a film director or cinematographer, i think now im gonna spend my time doing documentary, film and sponsorships. i dont know why, but this whole 'playing for change' has changed my heart, i wanna get out there now and help people :)

  • @zavdogg256 that is awesome plan!!!!!Good luck!!!!

  • @zavdogg256 Good goal! If you can come up with an idea like this guy did, it would be even be better. There are so many talented people in the world who are doing it just because they love it, you probably wouldn't have a problem finding another venue to give us. Take care.

  • * Me Smiling * :)))))

  • Fantastic Love You man..

  • This man has done what he loves best all his life. He sings for people...and show's them love and how to be a true gentleman. We should all be so lucky. What a man, what a man...what a man!!

  • @frndsplz Well said!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The comments about Grandpa Eliot is the way we should feel about everyone. It's so sad that it takes something like this to make us realize that we are just all people in this wide world trying to get along in life. Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have politicians who just love dividing us? Think about it.

  • From the people, for the people.Yup and Freedom for the "Free" World.

  • I THINK IM IN LOVE WITH GRANDPA ELLIOT!

  • What kind of guitar is that guy playing during the solo of Sugar Sweet?

  • @broadcasterG Looks a bit like a PRS to me.

  • Playing For Change - RESPECT!!!!

  • Brazil loves you grandpa Elliott!! 

  • Love your work grandpa elliott...god bless my man....from mexico...

  • there is nothing more amazing than someone following their passion. glorious!

  • I wish Grandpa Elliot was my granpa :)

  • He DOES make one HAPPY! I do WONDER though if he is getting his FAIR DUE or is he being exploited. If God has answered his prayers it would be a shame to have them stolen by music execs. He earned it. WHere can i get this song and can i see what his earnings are in comparison to others. Story's like this usually end with the artist more destitute than when he started. Yet the songs are still in circulation.

  • Grandpa Elliott is one of a kind.and so versatile. Good stuff.

  • Grandpa Elliott es la neta...

  • PURPLE DRANK

  • His voice touches my heart and brings tears to my eyes.

  • I send a huge and heart-felt thank you to Mark Johnson for creating this incredible music and sensation for us! This musical inspiration is incredible for us to actually realize that each and every one are instrumental in "Playing for Change". Let all nuance, effort and smile begin with each of us....

    Love, Bridgette

    xooxoxoxo

  • @bushbaby001 Have you checked out Kitaro yet? Some of the most beautiful music in the world.

  • @gino420able Thank you for your comment./suggestion! I just arrived back at home from visiting family and have not yet had a chance to check this out. I will, however, right now!

    Blessings...

    Love, Bridgette

  • Thanx Grandpa Elliot & all the playing for change crew.This video is good, but the idea for "Playing For Change" is pure genius. Keep spreading the message.

  • thumbs up for the GUITAR SOLO!!

  • What a voice!!!!

  • You can put all the wonders of the world together and still they would nt be worth a Grandpa Elliot and the other great street singers out there. Its sad they found him too late. Its more sad to think he made his debut at the age of 70. where are all those producers who pick up justin bieber and lady gaga. God Bless you Grandpa you are a Prophet come to spread Love.

  • You are The best ever Grandpa 

  • You are the best! I love you!

  • I grew up watching him preform on the streets of New Orleans and I have to say I will never forget him as long as I live. He touches the heart of every person he meets.

  • i own those same pair of overalls haha

  • the most soulful man on the planet today...

  • awesome pa:)

  • Dude, he looks like the guy from toy story 2 :)

  • Oh I wish he was MY grandpa! He's just the best! He's amazing! He's got the biggest heart in the world! If we all had his attitude, there would be peace on earth...

    He's my hero!!!

  • He is a great example to the phrase "Gods timing is always perfect." God continues to bless Grandpa Elliott even in his old age. So wonderful!!!

  • You are amazing grandpa!
