I’m the guy in the orange shirt on the left with grandpa Elliot! Nick cavazos. It was an honor to play with grandpa Eliot, and a memory I’ll cherish forever!!❤
Gandpa Elliot has a lot of angels come to carry him home. The shame in this world is that we don't appreciate what we have until they are gone. His wonderful voice has joined the band of angels.
Grandpa Elliott (born Elliot Small; July 10, 1944 - March 8, 2022), also known as Uncle Remus, was a veteran street-musician in New Orleans, Louisiana.He's now singing on the STREETS PAVED WITH GOLD. God rest his soul...
You will be missed, Grandpa Elliott. Now you're sitting on a dock of the sky. 💙 You were a wonderful person and shined a light of a blessed soul. Good man with a big heart for music and for the people...
One cannot find a better interpretation than Granpa Elliott with this renowned spiritual, very much in the New Orleans vibe and of its significant meaning, pre Civil War. Great work by the Playing for Change group. I for one am now supporting them directly. Thank you for the music of binding us together world-wide.
After supporting them for about 5 years, I just increased my monthly contribution. We need more of this in our lives individually, collectively and globally
The highest goal that a person should have is to immortalize themselves for posterity. Too bad I can't meet him in person anymore. But whenever I listen to his songs I see the happy grandpa singing and that's what warms my heart. So grandpa achieved the goal. See you Grandpa..... someday.
This is the first time I ever seen this video. Let me say it has me with tears in my eyes. Grandpa Elliot you will ALWAYS BE IN OUR HEARTS! Thank you Lord for giving us the opportunity to listen to this angel.
I love this guy. Raw music. He puts a smile on my face without fail. We should cherish people like this cos he's a generation that won't be replaced. He's also that nice he shared his sunglasses with someone.
Just fabulous!! Love the unity… which this world soooo needs! Whoever stitched this lot together and produced it… can’t have been easy, but they equally have my respect!!!
Just buried a dear friend, and on the procession from the grave to the reception the band busted out with this song. It's always been one of my favorites and now it has an extra special place in my heart. Belting out the words with the trumpet and clarinet was the best send off you could ask for.
Love this man. A picture of Grandpa Elliot and my son walking down the street together dropped into my FB feed today. Such an incredible spirit. We also had the privilege of front row seats to Preservation Hall and volunteered at a lower 9th ward church while there. There is nothing like New Orleans.
Ein wunderbarer Mensch der weiss was Musik bewegen kann. Solche Persönlichkeiten braucht unsere Welt.💝💝💝weiter so Du bist genial💝💝💝You are the King of Soul🎇
Ganz lieben Dank an meine persönliche Musiklehrerin Frau Riedel, die mir diesen Song als erstes Stück auf dem Klavier beibrachte.🥰😍🤩😘😇 Damals war ich noch ein kleiner Bub.
When the Devil lays down the sheet of paper listing all your Sins and you know you have named them all and asked for forgiveness and you are no longer in that darkness, the Great and peaceful and merciful Father flips the page and shows you the page is clean, you can float on that river with no fears. A beautiful rendition with all colors of God’s creations. Love, love , loved it!!!
This is freaking incredible. I went to film school and have done a lot with musicians- so I am aware getting the audio for this to all work out so perfectly is a huge task. Love the production and all that the musicians brought to the table!
We will always work hard to keep our music roots! If you'd like to check out more musicians, please read this article: www.playingforchange.com/articles/indigenous-dancers-and-musicians-that-you-probably-didnt-know

+Playing For Change very cool song ,,lol always loved these types of videos was it in real time? and everyone was playing at the same time? and thanks i reallly enjoyed it
WOW! I just received it from our local "singing circle" leaders-- let's keep singing this song as we pray and work to end wars around the world! ☮🎶(Playing for Change, thanks for making this global video and it keeps Grandpa Elliott's voice alive even though he is singing with the angels now!)
dans le quartier français et environ j'ai adoré tous ces chanteurs qui aiment chanter , avec passion et amour .ils vivent ce qu'ils chantent Merci, Thanks Grandpa Et encore sur le Missippi sur les bateaux a roues
I do believe that the music of New Orleans could solve all the problems of the world. Nothing like it anywhere else--accepting, inspiring, and rejoicing.
He didn't need any angels he was one who gave grace and love unconditional to all he did all the lifting and carrying our hearts out of the darkness ♥️
We miss our dear grandpa all the time, but his legacy remains forever in our hearts. www.playingforchange.com/articles/celebrating-the-life-and-legacy-of-grandpa-elliott
Nothing can beat a well playing traditional jazz orchestra. I wished I could see the entire video of this tune played by the new Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
We discovered Playing For Change 6 years ago, when my GD was a baby. Grandpa Elliott has brought us so much beautiful music. We will continue to enjoy his music & remember how special he was. My favorite song he does is Down By The Riverside. 💜💙💚❤
Music lifts the soul, and these wonderful, gifted and amazing people lift us to new heights. Please, everybody who takes the time to listen, support this magnificent cause. MUSIC IS THE ANSWER!
Dear god I love and miss New Orleans. The architecture, smell, sounds, food, art, the river, and always music, no matter how far you walk there's music.
I was in Kids from Wisconsin in 1975. I lost my copy of this recording long ago. To find it online and hear it after all these decades was nothing short of stunning. I was 17 then, and I am 65 now. Thank you for sharing it.
Wonderful video. Great guy (Grandpa Elliott). You can still find him right there (corner of Royal and Toulouse) most nights, literally playing for change, although I know he won't turn down a ten or a twenty.
Nice of you to support racism, slavery, genocide, terrorism and sexism - all tenants of the made up god you have surrendered your life to. There is literally nothing worthy in worshipping a god that was made up thousands of years ago and has led to centuries of wars down to this day where people foolish and desperate enough to believe in gods rage wars over the demand that their god is the "right". Ever seen what your gods are doing in the Middle East for example? The key to world peace and the end of war is the surrender of these stupid gods.
I met Oscar Castro at LatinFest 2015 in Canton, MS yesterday. He showed me this and I was amazed! What an awesome project with such talented musician. I'm proud to call Oscar my friend!!
Down By the Riverside magnifique montage ...tellement génial qu'on en redemande, en plus c'est l'un de mes gospels préférés.. Ca c'est de la zique, les amis .. ça bouge partout, ça met du baume au coeur, et c'est ce que j'aime chanter !! YOUPI comme ça fait du bien !!
Prophet Francis, some time I feel like laying all my burdens down by the river side and study one no more , but I realize that I will have to keep moving on.
Life is good and there are so many more wonder people than bad in this beautiful world if ours. I know in my heart that music is the true universal language for all to share for peace, understanding and for voices to be heard! "Playing For Change" is proving this! Peace! Moonshine
I love these songs, especially with grandpa Elliot , you know if he is in a song it's going to be a good song ,I would love to sit down with him and have a beer, bet he,d have some stories to tell, but please some one buy the poor old chap a proper pair of sunglasses
Thank you for creating this and thank you to all who was a part of this! Such a fantastic way to show how powerful music is, and how it can unite all of us :) Beautifully done!
No se una palabra en inglés! sólo se que esta música me da ganas de vivir a pesar de los problemas cotidianos! Dios proteja a Músicos, Poetas y Cómicos de todo el Mundo!!!!
Yo hablo español, pero es difícil para mí, después de años con nadie hablar con mí. Ellos cantan: abajo por el lado del río, poner la espada y el escudo, estudio guerra no mas, no no mas

An honest to goodness Angel. You never know when you will meet one.

Louisiana.He's now singing on the STREETS PAVED WITH GOLD. God rest his
soul...
Did they do a jazz funeral for him?
I did not know he passed. I love him and sharing him with my students. He will LIVE on through his music forever! ❤
Amen! Rest in peace, Sir.💗
Great voice. I just found him!
Thank you for the info a Canadian Fan.
He will truly be missed... He gave so much.... heart, soul and music that will live beyond......RIP..
You will be missed, Grandpa Elliott. Now you're sitting on a dock of the sky. 💙 You were a wonderful person and shined a light of a blessed soul. Good man with a big heart for music and for the people...

Me gustaría oír el manicero con todos estos profesionales ojalá se pudiera gracias
What a weird way of phrasing a comment, don't try so hard to sound sophisticated. "One cannot.."?🤨🤣
5th and 4th grade will be singing then fifth grade will be playing musical instruments
How is it possible not to like this. I have been crying happy tears the whole time 💞🙏
This just hits different now. Sleep well, Grandpa Elliott. Thank you for the music. Your voice lives on even after you're gone. 🖤
RIP brother, may his family & friends find peace & comfort in his memories! You will be missed brother. Peace to all brothers & sisters
These beautiful people got the pipes to bring Jesus into your heart!
All love and appreciation for the outstanding Mr. Elliott and all the beautiful singers and musicians from around the world. 🙏🏽❤️
Talk about leaving something when we go.. this just made my day. RIP sir. Mad respect! Chris
