Playing For Change (PFC) is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. The primary focus of PFC is to record and film musicians performing in their natural environments and combine their talents and cultural power in innovative videos called Songs Around The World. Creating these videos motivated PFC to form the Playing For Change Band—a tangible, traveling representation of its mission, featuring musicians met along their journey; and establish the Playing For Change Foundation—a separate 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to building music and art schools for children around the world. Through these efforts, Playing For Change aims to create hope and inspiration for the future of our planet.

Whew, man. When a song too perfect for ‘cover’ performances, Playing For Change does it beautifully. When it seems there’s no hope for humanity, PFC proves there just might be some. This was exactly what my day needed. Thank you!

Can we have a Grammy award for geniuses like this one can splice and mix vids and audios from all over the world and from different musicians and singers into a masterpiece like this.

Any time you get to hear Grandpa and Clarence together, you feel like you are one step closer to heaven.

We ALL need to listen to this right now. For Bill Withers, and for us as a world!

This made me sad and happy!
I came from parents who didn’t
hug or comfort. So I didn’t trust or have any one to lean on!
I change it! My 4 kids are loved,
hugged and We danced in the rain and laugh and sing!😃🥰

Jesus fed the five thousand by making them sit down in groups and share food. The miracle of abundance lives on. Sharing is the answer of Jesus.

I lost both my grandpas long time ago, I lost my father when I was 12..
Grandpa Elliot is filling that gap in my life through music..
His soulful voice gives me peace, love and soul when I need it the most..
God bless you Grandpa Elliot.. I wish I could give you a hug..
With lots of love from Kerala, India.
Peace on Earth
