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!
This is hope for humanity-“ For evil men will be done away with. But the meek will possess the earth, and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” Psalm 37. What do you think about it?
Another good one is he ain't heavy he's my brother the original not Donny and Marie or whoever else thought they could do it as well, they didn't it was ok this one is great
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.
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!😃🥰
God bless you sister. I'm a parent of four myself. I too had troubled younger days.. feeling lonely and alone without a soul who cares. Music is what kept me going.. Now the six of us listen to this together, grow together ❤
I’ve watched him perform in New Orleans multiple times. Just returned from a trip there and it was my first time there since he died. Now I have a painting of him on my wall. At least I got to listen to him a few times before he died🎷
Man, these productions are so wonderful. They always lift my spirit, fill my heart, and give me hope and faith. Bless everyone involved, and all beings 🥰🙏🌻
Hi! I have something for you! Troubles on the earth prove that God’s Kingdom will soon act. 2 Timothy 3:1-5. “For evil men will be done away with. But the meek will possess the earth, and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” Psalm 37.
Seeing the world through music makes my soul sing…please keep this going… This is such a beautiful way to see positivity and support positive Vibes throughout the world… love this
I wish America was still a country where you could still lean on people. People are more concerned about their sanitized bermuda lawns and gated neighborhoods than about helping a neighbor. How far America has fallen!!!!
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
My mother is suffering from Multiple Myleoma, and the drugs aren't working anymore, we're transitioning to more hard-core therapy, and I'm really scared. We have a CT scheduled in January. I needed this.
Great to see South Africa contributing. How is it possible that musicians from all over the world can live and sing in harmony and in contrast two neighboring countries go to war. Where is the love?
This song is important to what we are experiencing in the world today! We need to lean on each other , support when you can and just be one another’s keeper during these difficult times. Love always wins .
watch the video and just let it sink in. people from all over our world are singing this song Lean on Me and none of them have ever played together . this is amazing
We are the world, together. Thank you, Bill and Melinda, for supporting these great human beings all over the Earth in getting their music to each other, creating something blessed for all of us.
This is for you T.T My Beautiful Sister Terri Lynn Passed Away in 2011 and we had a Benifit for her and our Whole Family Went Up Front and Sang this Beautiful Song To Her and it Was a Wonderful Song and Day for My Beautiful Sister T.T Love ❤ You and Miss You I Will See 👀 You Again Someday ❤
I absolutely LOVE these playing for change tunes. First one I heard was "Stand By Me", and that was a LONG time ago, now. I remember thinking this was one of the coolest things ever done, and now years later, I'm convinced I was right. I think that the world would be a better place if more people knew about cooperation rather than fighting and "competition". We as a species are stronger when we cooperate, not when we duke it out. Listen to these recordings and tell me I'm wrong. It took people from all over the world to sound this cool and wonderful. We can do the same with other things, too.
Love these the most because it shows how Playing For Change doesn't just give iterations of music but more importantly gives the gift of music to others
Brilliant, Thank You in memory of Bill Withers, also relevant right now, with this Global Pandemic, Stay Safe and Well Everyone, All Over the World and Find Someone to 'Lean On'; God Bless, XXXX
I just opened this from am email link. The foundation needs our help. Many lives are brought great blessings by this foundation and at this time they need our help. They do wonderful things for people that need a little help. I am a continuous contributor and will forgo some selfish pleasures to help them out. I encourage anyone that can to follow. Bless the children and bless you all.
Pure Joy:) I play Native American flute and have seen first hand how powerful the healing effects of music are. On those listening and those playing. Hy heart is never fuller than when I'm sharing the gift I've been given for playing flute.
Why aren't these fantastic people and performers politicians. People can work together even when separated great distances. Fantastic and uplifting. Great respect to everyone involved.
Sigo desde hace mucho tiempo desde que descubrí la diversidad de música en Playing for Change y la inclusión de músicos tan talentosos de países lejanos y los une algo tan bellísimo como la música y sus culturas , felicito quien haya auspiciado tan bonito objetivo ......
I know this might not fit these songs, but the lyrics to hallowed be thy name have always resonated with me, I would love to here these awesome do a version of this song. But thank u all for lifting my spirits n showing that this world still has a chance to be great!
Awesome!! I've been a Bill Withers fan since the "early days". While it's so sad that he's gone these folk did a wonderful job of coordinating the message of this song with the needs of the world now.Thank you!!

Who can you lean on ? Bon courage.
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.
I'd bet they do have a technical award but how can they get nominated?
Any time you get to hear Grandpa and Clarence together, you feel like you are one step closer to heaven.
RIP Grandpa.
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.
RIP Bill Withers. Thank you for your service across the world, you’ll be missed

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!😃🥰
💗
God bless you sister.
I'm a parent of four myself. I too had troubled younger days.. feeling lonely and alone without a soul who cares. Music is what kept me going.. Now the six of us listen to this together, grow together ❤
If only humanity could share the wealth,and save itself! 😢this is the garden of Eden ,if only we understood that ,It’s not a for profit planet
If only ….
No colour, no religion, no country. Just people and music and love.
RIP Grandpa Elliot! he's ALWAYS been my all-time favorite in PFC!
Ahh sad to hear he's passed on
Man, Grandpa Elliot has an amazing voice! This is my favorite cover of one of the best songs ever written.
I’ve watched him perform in New Orleans multiple times. Just returned from a trip there and it was my first time there since he died. Now I have a painting of him on my wall. At least I got to listen to him a few times before he died🎷
Grandpa Elliot still keeps me smiling every time I hear his singing
May he rest in peace
I had the honor of seeing him on the streets of NOLA years ago. Didn't realize the treasure I was seeing at the time.
May he rest in music...
RIP
Man, these productions are so wonderful. They always lift my spirit, fill my heart, and give me hope and faith. Bless everyone involved, and all beings 🥰🙏🌻
Sending prayers to Jamaica! May God keep your people safe & meet your every need! xxs
The right song and the right artists for these tough times. Thank you

“For evil men will be done away with. But the meek will possess the earth, and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.” Psalm 37.
Smiling ear to ear. Tears streaming down my cheeks. Full of gratitude. This is love.
I wish I could like this more than once.
Yep…so true..
Let's all lean on each today, just a little extra, in memory of Bill.
RIP Bill Withers (July 4, 1938 - March 30, 2020)
He will be missed
I miss him. Never met the man, but my soul feels that loss.
Sad
Rest easy old man.
Inspiration to a younger generation after all your own trials and tribulations you encountered during your life.
Respect and love
He died the day after my birthday
I just love this concept. watching these videos always brings tears to my eyes. It's such a simple concept. Music can bring the world together.
I had the same reaction, Its so simple, just love one another!
YES!! thank you so much for this comment. So happy you had such a great reaction to our message!
Glad to know I'm not the only one that tears up when I watch these. Pure Beauty, almost too much to handle

:'D
We ALL need to listen to this right now. For Bill Withers, and for us as a world!
Seeing the world through music makes my soul sing…please keep this going… This is such a beautiful way to see positivity and support positive Vibes throughout the world… love this
I wish America was still a country where you could still lean on people. People are more concerned about their sanitized bermuda lawns and gated neighborhoods than about helping a neighbor. How far America has fallen!!!!
These artists are providing chicken soup for our souls,and this love that they share never ends,it only gets better
Impossible not to be touched for this good vibrations!
Rest in Peace. Ain't no Sunshine now you're gone...Love to everyone on earth, take care and be safe.
Move outta the shade. He still sings to me.
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
Love the singing and music from people from all over the world.

How many ways in how many languages can one say fantastic, moving, beautiful!
Discovered Playing for Change about 7pm yesterday, Its no nearly 1.30am and I cant get enough

Whoever came up with this idea should receive a medal. Great stuff.
Quand la musique decouvre sa vrai essence , son esprit de béauté ..merciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

We whose ears hear, while wisdom tells us how to survive, need this on a huge, continuous loop. My prayer.

The violinists at 2:03 give me tears and chills every time!
