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.

Escelente Glórias a Deus Brasil Bahia ilhéus
Wow! What a performance! The lead male voice singer is on another level! You can sing! Beautiful! I have this on repeat! ❤️❤️
I have followed PFC for 2 decades and Clarence as been there for as long as I can remember. Do yourself a favor and join so you can hear and download all their music as it's created plus hear all you've missed out on.
Tha'd be Mr Clarence Bekker!
Geweldig

Não tem idade p curtir músicas e cantores bons, parabéns Maria Stone pelo Bom gosto🌹 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Titi sings with her beautiful soul and Clarence sings with every inch of his body. Together with the rest of the band they make such beautiful music that makes my heart sing
Guys…From..The Big🍎🍎🍎…Apple…You..ARE..The..Best..!
AWESOMENESS!
THERE WILL NEVER BE ANY OTHER'S!!!
❤Absoutely 100% I agree!
I'm 59 years young.I was born in 1964. I remember the late 1960's and when the Rev.Dr.Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968. I have never so many elders and Great Grandparents cry. This affected my soul for the rest of my life and days on this Earth 🌍. I realized what it means to be blessed enough to have had these people in my life, and what it means to be black and a man in America. I will never forget these people and wherever their Souls are resting, I am still continuing on the path.🌎🌍🇺🇸🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
First time I heard a man sing that song,he killed it❤️👋🏾
Totaly agree with jou miss patricia burrell
Rod Stewart has an amazing version as well. I remember the first time I heard it. I am was 16. I am now 65.
i luv this version and i like how the two guitar players were deep into it also..
@@amyhenry9315Christine Perfect and Chicken Shack.
@@jillhobson6128
The best version!
I absolutely adore this one. It's my man's funeral today. After 40 years, 💔💔 he just fell asleep. Playing this helps.
So sorry for your loss. Glad this music helps you.
Força e fé. Sempre. Deus abençoe. Obrigado.
So sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear this, Jennifer. Now a month's gone by and I so hope you're feeling just a wee bit better - although I doubt it, if your feelings ran so deeply. I could quite imagine being so lost and alone you needed to hear soulful music and then to post your deep feelings. I think you touched so many hearts - you made me weep openly, for one. My sincere condolences for your loss and hope you know there are so many people out here in this big world who would so wish to give you a hug.
So very sorry for ur loss😢 ❤music helps me always❤
This is the Best Version of Etta James I have ever heard! Etta James is my all time favorite! Congratulations! 5/24
What a woman singing and what a soulful gent x 💗 ✌️
Most beautiful version I ever heard. I listen to it over and over.
I can’t tell you how many time I have watched this
This is soul music
You understand the words and they have a meaning
I have listened to many different renditions of of this song , this is one of the best . Thanks for sharing .
Agree 1000 %
R.I.P Grandpa. Only discovered P . F. C. a few weeks ago and I am addicted, What joy you bring,to the worlld.
A beautiful song done by two people with spectacular voices! Clarence and Titi complement each other beautifully.
Such a beautiful cover. Such a talented group. Rest peaceful Etta James
Love this version and Etta is one of the best I’ve ever heard and I’m 70! Blues will never die!! ❤
Never thought I'd find another version of this song I liked as much as Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa's. I was wrong. Beautifully done.
Sidney Youngblood did a very good rendition too in the early nineties. Check it out🙏🏽
@@smj7916 Thanks. I will.
Yes Beth does it beautifully but Clarence and Ti Ti are the best. !
Both are.... The best ❤
If only I could sing like these two.........TRULLY AMAZING
THIS BAND DESPERATATLY NEEDS THE THE RECONITION THEY DESERVE PLEASE SHARE XX
Their not a band there a charity.😎😍😍😍😇
playing for Change. 😍😍😍😍
@@jamesswan4426 р-н
The 4.3k that gave a thumbs down have no soul or concept of pure music.
Or deaf?
no respect
Ignore ... and just enjoy
They don't deserve to live in this musical world
@@roscoep.coltraine6344 or a dark soul.
My absolute favorite!
Beautiful song, touches the soul deeply! What a beautiful version. Perfect band and voices.
How could anyone give this a thumb down? He sang just short of his whole heart leaping out of his mouth. He sang, not only with soul but with such passion. The female vocal was just as incredible. Together they made my ears cry ( in a good way) Wow! I listened to it 3 times in a row. Please continue. We need this at this time. Chicken soup for the heart and soul.
I agree.
❤
I agree with you totally, they are a great pair...Both have such great voices that can reach the heavens...
Because they have no soul and no light and joy in their hearts.
All playing for change is the very much 💓
I absolutely love him, but omg I am obsessed with the woman. Her voice is just so hypnotizing. I could watch them for hours. What great talent, vocals, souls. Absolutely amazing, I’m sure Etta would love this
Same here. Who is she?!!! OMG chills. Hairs straight up!!! Wish she sang the entire song!!! Soooo Amazing!!!
@@micheleabbott2227
Yes she has a wonderful voice, I think she's called Titi Tsira, she is from South Africa, you can see more about her here:
playingforchange.com/musicians/titi-tsira/
She does sing it in another version , the whole song ! There are so many videos of " playing for change " , could listen to them all night and day !
I honestly agree with u that woman give me goose bump 4 her beautiful voice
😀
@@roxyashley4024 THIS is the best version, even though it was 'only' supposed to be a rehearsal before they went
out on the road touring with the PFC Band. Titi is a marvel, as is Clarence Bekker from the Netherlands. Many of those other musicians you'll begin to recognize through other videos too; Mermans from the Congo, Grandpa Elliott from New Orleans who was also (as was Clarence) in the very first video: Stand By Me. Others onstage are from all over the World as well. This version of this song brings me back over and over like so many others. Brilliant, beautiful and passionate.
What a wonderful day, this day I have heard this version of a most beautiful song.
Linda música! Parabéns!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️
I believe this is the most perfect rendition of the song I've ever heard.
True 🙏🌹
It's good but Rod Stewart and Carlos Santana is good too....
Your right it is the best...
This is perfection. The emotion brought forth is believable, the casualness of the set is intimate and heartfelt that only these two can capture and pull one in - I don't know of anyone else who could pull this off - excellent
Beth and joe is Good too.
I'm transfixed by the beauty of this rendition. Thank you.
Etta is smiling, beautiful !
On lockdown from the Coronavirus, with a glass of wine listening to this right here, sitting here thinking. how thankful I am to be able to enjoy this Masterpiece.
Touchè darling...
Its a beautiful Masterpiece to have at this time on lockdown....so grateful to still be here with a glass of champagne , .... life is beautiful.
Here I am 6 months later, different place same lockdown, same song, maybe we are all in this together after all
LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL ENYOY IT !
I think Playing for Change is the most positive movement I’ve seen in my years on this earth. The talent from around the world they have spotlighted and continue to spotlight just warms my soul!
Yes.
Me too.
Good todos en general cantantes.?
Buen sonido musical y para todos los generos. "The charly un parche para mi good y esa es la buelta good energy vital "the charly".
Triu.😇😍😍😍
Best ever cover I ever heard, these guy’s are up there with the greatest in their own right.
Me and my brother came across this song from that day we fell in love with it just so beautiful and well done you can see you both really really feeling this song love it all the way from Belize
Absolutely insanely beautiful version!!!Still listening December 2021!!!! Can't get enough of this band. ❤️❤️❤️

Fantastic pair of voices!!!! Chills down the spine its on repeat!! I cannot believe that I've only just found "playing for change" but within minutes have ordered the DVD join the movement!!, let family and friends know about them with a "Hey listen to these guys" lovely watching their faces and big smiles spread across their faces....Thankyou PFC hope you come to the UK x
Jaynie: are you still able to get the very first CD/DVD? That's when I first signed up --it is mind-blowingly good. Has Stand By Me as the first song and continues from there. Just a brilliant addition to anyone's collection.
Found this gem years ago, it's one of my grandpaps and my favs! Glad I found it again
After Etta's, you guys are my favorite! Thank you, just beautiful! Makes me cry! Bless you all for this version!
Don't get much better than this whew make you wanna jump up and scream just Love it...Keep on coming with it ...Thats what i call Music!!!!
So much soul and years of struggle in your voice absolutely stunning my hairs are standing on my arms and my stomach has butterflies
I am so glad you all recorded that live. There is no way ANYONE, including you all, could do it better!

Thank you Keef, for inviting me on tour. It's how I know the guys from St.Ann's. Jamaica, and many other musicians. To see Marcus King from right here in Greenville makes my heart sing.
Playing for Change has spread a lot of pure joy around our tiny planet!
Tried to add up the number of times I've watched this absolutely wonderful video...but my calculator broke. It could not count that high. (Guess I'll just have to start all over again.)

WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! Lordy...talkin bout some chills right here! Don't EVER stop singing/performing!!!
Absolutely breathtaking performance 😂❤
An English man here 62 and loving you man ✌️
No words for these voices!
I loved Etta and was fortunate to see her perform many, many times all over the place over the years (I'm 58). I was deeply saddened by her death, so much so I chose not to watch her televised funeral. Her music did many things for me and took me many places. Thank you...thank you...thank you.. all of you, for doing this for her....and yes... "R.I.P. Sweet Lady."
God bless you
ditto Duke Allen ...had the great pleasure of seeing Etta many times in NOLA as I lived there for many years ......I sure miss New Orleans ....
Duke Allen o Raul

This song brought me through losing many friends and family
Absolutely Beautiful!! 💕💖💕
Among the millions of love songs out there, to the point where you've heard it all before, this one truly truly stands out from the croud. A great tender and soulful performance. A fine tribute to Etta James.
Parabéns 👏👏👏👏👏
You did her proud. One killer tribute to one great lady.
What can I say bro
I would rather see you now singing!
With that voice I would be near by your side💓
