I’m a 65 year old white man and I am so thrilled to see Mr. Porter show the relevance of this song and what is happening in this country today,many of the same struggles that were occurring when Stephen Stills wrote this amazing song.
I lost one of my best friends yesterday. I couldn't find the tears until I started listening to Billy and the tears came. Don't let the time go. Say what you have to say to the people that matter most. Do that thing you promised to do for your mother, your father, your friend. Take care of one another like they were a child of your own. And yes VOTE.... ❤🧡❤🧡❤🧡❤🧡
Babe, my mom is in the hospital today and I've been busy with the paperwork and calling family, until right now when I heard this and let myself cry....I feel you babe, and I'm so so sorry for your loss!
Great cover version. This song never loses it's relevance. Unlike some covers, Porter didn't try to "improve" on it. He kept the same style. It takes great to recognize great.
Get after it Billy! We need more of this since we are at a similar crossroads. Remember, "they" are counting on the apathy of good people, and that's all they need. Vote them out!
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...”For What it’s Worth,”:written by by Stephen Stills, recorded by Buffalo Springfield, and released on ATCO Records, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records, in December 1966. Peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the spring of 1967.
"Go In, Let Have!!!!" Yesssss!!!!.....Billy did this for "Da' Children" who feel like they have no voice or say....Who should be on the remix???? I'm hearing Martha Wash and Billy putting a Super Old School house spin on this...
Thank you, BP. I was there for the original. It seems we are fighting the same fights for rights now. We must win, finally! It's more relevant now with the T administration than ever before.
Love billy porter! He is such a legend and a great man and this song is brilliant and came out at the right time. Equality for all, and yes get out and vote!!
Billy Porter has done a fantastic cover of one of my favourite songs from my teen years. Me in the kitchen doing homework after supper with great music of the era.
I've been waiting for someone to drop this song in 2020-- so sad I missed it in April! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for bring us this song and its message!
The fact that this song could have easily been written yesterday, just goes miles to prove that we have not learned from history as we are repeating the same mistakes that we condemn our parents and grandparents for. We've gained no ground as humanity. In fact, we've lost ground in so many ways. Maybe in a couple more generations, maybe.
Love you, you Beautiful Spirit you. Thank you for always being such a beautiful message to the world. Your spirit is always seen. It shines so bright, no one can deny it.
Love it man, I was 5 when I first heard this song, and I do remember the tumultuous times back then. Its good to see you bring this back cuz of the tumultuous time we are in now. Thank you my brethren ver AWESOME!! RIGHT ON....
Billy Porter was in concert 6/3/23 at Foxwoods Casino. He sang this song and the audience went nuts! WhT a performer! Awesome voice and the song is so prescient for these times! Love you, Billy!❤❤❤❤
This is my favorite song of all time. Thank you for covering this in a time we need to hear it again I wish that I could give you a hug and thank you personally!
I know right! When this song was written it was Vietnam, the draft, racial inequalities such as housing discrimination, redlining, credit, employment, and equal opportunity. Since then we have made all forms of racial discrimination illegal including housing, loans and employment. We have made sure equal opportunity is a process with affirmative action and the equal opportunity act of '72. Mandated that all recipients of federal funds or assistance comply with all civil rights. In 1995 we increased penalties for hate crimes..uhh..oh in 2007 we got rid of statutory limits on any violent crimes committed before 1970 against African Americans...now we are working on making murder by lynching extra bad compared to regular murder... So much stuff today! It is just as relevant as 1966! White people are killed by police twice as much as black people and that is not equality! ...Wait...could you tell me what we are fighting for exactly?
You realize this has single handedly destroyed the Democrats chances of beating Drumpf? I'm an independent. They're SCREWED. Sort comments by newest...
This does not appeal to people, we're dying and losing our jobs, our businesses. This stupid karaoke concert is an insult to our intelligence. Talk about policy...peace.
This is an excellent song and we need messages like this now more than ever. I shared it on my social media today. Thanks for being a great voice, literally and figuratively!
Old white lady remembers protesting V'nam & singing this...BS's piece NEVER loses it's relevance unfortunately b/c the 'haters' are always w'us! I had tears singing along w'you. Be proud Billy you have done WELL!
Ummmmm I absolutely LOVE this song and have listened to it since my teen years in the 70's and Billy, my love, you slayed it! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you! Whoop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A stirring song/lyrics, both then and now. Thank you Billy, you did it fine! I hope it wakes up the younger generation to stand up, get out and vote. It's about their future.
🗣BILLY you did that and I’m loving it ... me and my mom just saw you perform on Good Morning America and I just had to UA-cam you so I could comment...YOU DID THAT 👍🏽♥️🙏🏾
It says a lot that a song written for the revolution of the 60s still has so much potency and relevance for what's going on now. As they say, history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. This was the anthem of a generation that young people dismiss as irrelevant and a failure. No. You're the generation we've been waiting for to pick up the baton and carry it forward. We fought as well as we could, just as those who came before us did. It's your turn now. Welcome aboard. As CSNY said, teach your children well.

I just saw you on GMA. Your voice singing this song brought me to TEARS this morning. You have an incredible voice. I hadn't heard this song in a while. The fact that it was written in 1966 and could absolutely be an anthem for today is scary and incredible.
Yes in deed !!!!!!! LOve his version of this song I remember being in my pre-teens w/these exact same events were going on w/ this song was first produced and I really didn't feel it then , but now...........................Mr Billy made me feel it ALL!!!!!
This song always reminds me of war movies. Very relevant because we ARE in a war for our lives/future. Billy Porter did a great job singing it and the video is impressive.

Just now hearing this & this is a masterpiece. This is the music we need to be pushing to the forefront. Billy you are very special! ❤❤
I’m a 65 year old white man and I am so thrilled to see Mr. Porter show the relevance of this song and what is happening in this country today,many of the same struggles that were occurring when Stephen Stills wrote this amazing song.
Nobody cares that you're white
Bravo, well said sir🤘💖👍
Bravo Billy. You infused new energy into a song that remains a relevant anthem for a suffering society.
I lost one of my best friends yesterday. I couldn't find the tears until I started listening to Billy and the tears came. Don't let the time go.

@@brittish1587 I hope your mum recovers in hospital! Thank you for writing back.
@starlingcity thank you darling, I hope you and your friends/family are able to get through this awful time but also able to be together💖
God, I love this man. He is pure, righteous and loving. His message is so clear, and so necessary. Thank you Billy.
Honest to God!
Both the original by Buffalo Springfield and this cover are excellent.
I have been playing this song in my mind for several years. It is as powerful as it was in my youth. Sad we did not heed to warnings.
I forgot about this song, but it's speaks about what is truly what's going on in the world today. Thanks Billy 😗
That moved me deeply. Great remake and right for the time we're living in.
Great cover version. This song never loses it's relevance. Unlike some covers, Porter didn't try to "improve" on it. He kept the same style. It takes great to recognize great.
No he didnt
I agree w/ Mr. Kelly
Much nicer comments.....think most have never even heard of Billy Porter to make a legitimate criticism.
Fabulous! Right on. As relevant today as it was in 1966. Thank you Billy.
What a true voice, no remix, no auto tune.. just pure gifted voice
They don't give those Tony awards to just anybody!!!
Love you Billy Porter...song has brought our generation through many struggles..keep being yourself..
Get after it Billy! We need more of this since we are at a similar crossroads.
Remember, "they" are counting on the apathy of good people, and that's all they need. Vote them out!
Right on!
“They” are the Democrats. Always has been.
BILLY!! Loved your DNC version with Stephen cut in. Thank you! Thanks for reviving this fantastic song which is sadly so dang current. Kudos.
Saw/heard this at the Graham Norton show and honestly, this is f'ing amazing!!
Oh God, Billy Porter is one our best, most beautifulest human beings on the planet

This is one of the best songs I have ever had the privledge of listening to. This man brought us to CHURCH with this!
"Go In, Let Have!!!!" Yesssss!!!!.....Billy did this for "Da' Children" who feel like they have no voice or say....Who should be on the remix???? I'm hearing Martha Wash and Billy putting a Super Old School house spin on this...
I love this song 💜💜💜 “We gotta stop. Children what’s that’s sound?” I love 💕
Decades have passed and this old song is still needed; the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Billy is one hell of a good guy. So talented. Thank you BILLY.
Brilliant cover of a song that never seems to become dated or cliched.
This song his vocals are so powerful in this day and time. Thank You
I graduated in 88 and this song was our class song that played at graduation.
Pretty cool 😀
I never knew Billy Porter was a singer. Love it.
Thank you, BP. I was there for the original. It seems we are fighting the same fights for rights now. We must win, finally! It's more relevant now with the T administration than ever before.
What rights are we fighting for?
Love billy porter! He is such a legend and a great man and this song is brilliant and came out at the right time. Equality for all, and yes get out and vote!!

So good. Need the video from the convention please.
The fact that this song could have easily been written yesterday, just goes miles to prove that we have not learned from history as we are repeating the same mistakes that we condemn our parents and grandparents for. We've gained no ground as humanity. In fact, we've lost ground in so many ways. Maybe in a couple more generations, maybe.
