Playing For Change Band: A Change Is Gonna Come (live)

[memex23]

I want sing how that guy, damn!

[bosshogg95SLT]

every now and then I hear a cover of a song that just completely turns me inside out this is one ..... soulful and perfect not about royalties or record sales but about ppl and inspiration and hope

[didokito]

@Silv3r198

why don't you show a little bit of hope ? it might come , with time , and with the contribute of people like these :)

[Silv3r198]

Well when is that change gonna come ??I'm still waiting for it..

[ElizabethGS]

@Silv3r198 part of that 'change' is the idea that WE are the ones to make it happen. So don't wait - do something (voting, getting involved helps) :) Every one of us - through the music we love that connects us. Individually we might feel powerless, but joining hands with all of those across the world who have been incredibly moved by these videos (check out Stand By me - One Love and all of the others), and you'll see just how many people want an end to War/Bigotry. ONE Love (from NY). :)

[NELUAY]

M A G N I F I Q U E !!! Magique...

[TheMonic1987]

One of the best song....of the world ever.

[DinosaurJones17]

This is amazing.

[STEPHAN61001]

one of the best songs

[ElizabethGS]

@STEPHAN61001 and written and first recorded by Sam Cooke back in 1963, later taken as the theme for the Civil Rights Movement. It's timeless and totally beautiful. I love Clarence Bekker's amazing performance here (as well as Grandpa Elliott, of course).

Still "Soul Singer" at 66 yrs. Hooked since James Brown "Please, Please, Please...the song that means the most to me and got me "Singin" ! Steve "Mr Soul" Kahler

[alisdra]

Inspiring to use one word

[Blu4Blues]

Change is gonna come, but it's going to have to come from the goodness of people's hearts, not by the examples we see before us now.

[Drbillybobbilly]

Thank you, my brothers, for your testimony.

[IH8H8]

Mr. Elliott is one of the most kindest.. GENTLE men I have ever had the privilege of spending a sunny Sunday afternoon with in my life...

I left New Orleans sad because of Katrina's devastation, but hopeful & re-newed in the quest to find mankind not giving-up in it's struggle for survival to accept Mother Nature, as well as one another...

Be Well... Be Safe..... Peace-out....

[adff1]

booooo! for those who vote "↓"

[musicseverything]

This is what music is. The common point for humanity. It can produce miracles. It´s the universal becaus it comes from the heart and soul. I´m convinced music can change the world. Let´s everyone be engaged. Love to all of you.

[thombola147]

I just can't take my eyes off Clarence. He's so... convincing. A change is gonna come, I started to believe that.

Great musicians & remarkable project.

[kaotik420]

music transcends boarders, races, and religions.. let's make love and peace do the same :)

[Danidurga]

[shadowrider3196]

I can't really imagine mankind without music cause it's been such an essencial par of my life that if it somehow dissapeared, I think I'd dissapear with it... all through my hard times and good times it always has and always has been the best way for me to express myself and to understand others... I think we should all unite and apreciate music in peca... it would make the world a more peaceful place... everybody have a great 2011!

[laggie24]

I've been to New Orleans...Can someone tell me where this concert was exactly... Bourbon str.??? Thank-you in advance ...Aggie :-)

[laggie24]

What would I have done without music ... my life would have been soooo empty ... hmmm ... all-over-all music has enriched my life :-)

I have always deeply beleived and loved this great song since I 1st. heard it for Sam Cooke.

Appreciate this share from Budapest ... "-"

So soothing to the soul, I can feel the vibrations in the depths of my heart.

[SyKoxSiLeNcEx]

[sophie05981119]

Music is the only way to give peace a chance

[MrRodrigoOpazo]

Could somebody please explain to me WHY/HOW some people can dislike this?

¿Podría alguien explicarme CÓMO/PORQUÉ a alguien puede desagradarle esto?

S´il vous plaît quelqun peux m´expliquer COMMENT/POURQUOI il-y-a des gens qui aiment pas ca?

[cmmagneto]

super une pure merveille.

[8188ify]

The afro-american must stop to sing rap ... This is a black music !!!

[mxkallstrom]

Our differences are so obscure compared to what we all have in common, this right here proves that. Music is a language that transcends even the most ignorant of people. A change is gonna come. ONE LOVE

Thumbs up if you agree!

[mxkallstrom]

We are so much more equal than diffrent, this right here proves that. ONE LOVE

[viksivable]

I am a 21 yr old man n this song made me tear up at the end. This reminds me of my origin in sri lanka. There was a 30yr civil war and the most popular songs at concert are the ones expressing sorrow, sadnes but finish with hope. There is instrumen similar to saxo but narow and realy long called Nadeswaram. When thos musician play solo its like they have the ability to pull tears from ur eyes as if their instrument has a string atached at the end and erytime he hits right note not its draw tears

[nataliecruz10star]

LOVE IT :)

[DocDieze]

feels to me these people are the real thing.....

[Greenockianx]

It's not just an anthem of 60's America or black people but for the whole world. Great version - let's keep hoping, eh? Change...wasn't that what Christmas originally promised?

[three0234]

^:)^

[tuliogt12]

I don't have words to describe this..

[gyped]

@tuliogt12 purple monkey dishwasher? jokes. me too..

[schnivix]

This song(especially this Amazing performance!) fills my heart with joy and inspiration. When the Blues touch my Soul this way I feel the true heart-felt meaning and infinite hope of good people. I never feel sad when  I listen to the blues, I feel great joy and a desire to share that awesome feeling with everyone in the universe.

Peace

... I listen to it over and over.

[MclitoOF]

Simplemente unico

[bradleyira]

rebecca ferguson was amazing at this

[dreamcatchegirl2002]

Awesome.

[cyclone7kcar]

Thanks for sharing . . . fantastic rendering of a great song.

[felipecei]

48 robots did not like . That's because they have no heart.

[bizkaya]

@felipecei and no brain i must add :P

its more than obvious that this change is more a wish or a dream now: its a necessity!

brothers and sisters all over the world, peace-love-freedom.

viva Zeitgeist!

[VeredaRustica]

@felipecei

Maybe, those 49 people pressed the button "dislike" because they do not like Clarence Bekker has no dreadlocks =D

High Vibration to everybody

[Paradisegal0226]

That's cause they cant grasp and appreciate music with motivational and inspiring words. Slackness and money took over.

[danielbspinola]

Just beaultiful, thas what music and love is all about. Thank you very much and keep on all good people.

[AKAB12888]

[da1benzo]

I love hard rock, metal, even hip hop and grime, but only this you can call true music...

[ex59neo53]

@da1benzo Coming back to the roots = always a great pleasure ;o)

[cobrajett]

Buen trabajo¡¡ R-nwo

[kblavie]

Clarence Bekker is such a fucking good performer. He reminds me of Otis Redding more than Sam Cooke, he has such great stage presence. The guy's look at 1:03 says it all, Clarence Bekker can belt!

[brumbaughba]

THIS is so moving...

[adiuschi]

'' ESO SIMPLEMENTE ME HACE LLORAR '' TANTO AMOR EN UN SOLO TEMA ES DEMASIADO PARA MI ALMA GRACIASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SS QUE BONITO ES, ESTAR VIVO !!!

[sebastot]

La música permite transportarnos en lo más profundo de nuestros sentimientos, la harmónica hace lo suyo permitiendo la perfecta conección entre lo terrenal y espiritual.

Gracias por los momentos agradables y permitirnos sentir su música.

Desde Chile

[pascogirl100]

Sing it Clarence! From the heart...

[eastcoasterner]

[friedsmurf420]

[dhowlandjr]

Thanks for a great moment listening to a great rendition of a great song! I'm sure feeling it!

[hooptyhee1]

All you people who feel downheartened, like you can't go on, listen to this. A change WILL come, I know it will.....

[ElunedDdedwydd]

We all speak the Universal Language of music, no matter what our culture, nationality, race or religion. We Human Beings are all the same, & we are all part of each other, whether or not we are willing to admit it. Too bad more people aren't willing to ignore the man-made barriers and just accept each other, we could all live in paradise if people would stop hating each other for our differences, and just LISTEN to the heart & soul of other people.

[dao3193]

@ElunedDdedwydd I love this song.IF all people were the same, then we would be able to except each other, but that's the thing. Too many years, still the same, but a changed is going to come. Sad isn't it. Obama is trying to bring a change, but people keeps knocking him. Why can't we all work together on issues. Stop all the unfairness. Heal what is broken!

[dao3193]

@ElunedDdedwydd I love this song.IF all people were the same, then we would be able to except each other, but that's the thing. Too many years, still the same, but a changed is going to come.
