Thanks for checking out my request 😊. I thought you’d enjoy it. And I wanted to bring some attention to the Playing for Change KZbin channel. It’s not just a channel for great music, it’s a movement to unify people through music. They’ve got some fantastic videos, but their Song Around the World videos are magical. ❤❤❤

[@kittykatz506]

I totally agree. All the performances on Playing For Change are fabulous, emotionally powerful and bring a spirit of optimism about the human spirit. Check it out y’all. It’ll make your heart feel better. ❤️

[@13_13k]

Thanks for requesting this for Polo to do a reaction to. This was such a solid jam.

[@taobarb1]

Thank you for suggesting PFC! I’ve followed them ever since they started producing these fantastic collabs!! ❤️

[@deniseherbert4709]

Thanks for requesting this. I never get tired of listening to them !

[@beverlybennett963]

Great channel, watch all the time... Peace out.............

[@JB-zz8mk]

Playing for change - When the levee breaks was the best cover I have ever heard.

[@RandyBurnettTalks]

Yes Go Here!!!

[@Jude_196]

Have suggested this one!! UNREAL!!! ❤❤❤

[@13_13k]

I agree. Phenominal cover with John Paul Jones on Bass and Stephen Perkins on Drums, insane backbone and then the singers, Susan Tedeschi and the Maori chick from New Zealand, killing it

[@RandyBurnettTalks]

@@13_13k I love playing for change.. "Sittin on the Dock of The Bay" turned me on to them like 10 years ago.. Great Charity!!

[@RockChick63174]

Yes, that is epic!

[@davidtullis2810]

Playing for change Robbie Robertson the Weight

[@jackiec859]

'Gimme Shelter' by Playing For Change is the first thing I'd heard from them. Hooked me hard. Huge fan.

[@No_Hate_2024]

The music, as always with Playing for Change, isn't just the gathering of musicians, it's the joy that everyone was feeling. The children dancing on the beach is my nominee for a Grammy. It's not the music; it's how the music makes folks react.

[@bobtedeman5975]

This is a rabbit hole worth exploring. The power in each song they do like this is phenomenal. Like you said, it brings everyone together in a magical, musical way.

[@magiegainey5036]

Stevie Wonder is the bomb. ❤ This is a fabulous rendition.

[@deniseherbert4709]

One of my favourite collaborations! Playing for Change is definitely worth the journey.

[@judiparrotte2436]

Thanks for the reference. I’m subscribed to that channel now.

[@jas8815]

Some of the best music your ears will ever hear is on the Playing for Change channel! ❤

[@SONbird5112]

Playing for change - The Weight, Soulshine. The best.

[@margielaughlin6056]

Many more, keep exploring Playing for Change

[@RandyGabbert]

Music cuts through all barriers, it's a universal language that everyone can appreciate.

[@Tolemac7]

Hey Polo ~ You CANNOT go wrong with any of the Playing For Change videos. They are all tremendous! Roberto Luti, the first guitarist on this track, plays on a lot of the Playing For Change videos. He's just a phenomenal guitarist! The variety of instruments from around the world and the way they blend them into each song is stunning. Look through their videos to see if they have songs you already know on it (they probably do!) and give those a reaction. =)

[@stevenboyce5588]

Sitting on the dock of the bay was my introduction to Playing For Change. Rodger Ridley and Grandpa Eliot were amazing!!! Made me want to roadtrip and see all the street performers in person!!!!

[@jean-pierreyot5871]

Playing for change became globally viral many years ago with Stand by me ( Ben E. King cover) … needs checking out if only just to see the staggering amount of views this track has. Since then, the collective has produced a lot of great music, and more recently in collaboration with some of the creators of their covers (John Paul Jones, the Doobie Brothers, Santana, Ringo Starr and a whole lot more). If I were to recommend another delve into this world (aside from the above mentioned MUST) it would be When the Levee Breaks.

[@nmockster5363]

I sent Polo PFC doing Levee some months ago. I hope he will check it out. That one is one of my faves from PFC, along with Jackson Brown’s Doctor My Eyes.

[@jean-pierreyot5871]

@@nmockster5363 Hopefully lotsa people are going to get his attention to this very important matter ! 😜

[@RandyBurnettTalks]

PLEASE GO DOWN THIS RABBIT HOLE!!!! Playing for Change "When The Levee Breaks" Best Cover Ever!!!

[@lmkeniston216]

Great reaction Polo. Heartfelt and thoughtful. I liked listening to what you had to say. And who wouldn’t love this track?! Aces all around. Thanks man.

[@dorothyfischer2649]

Playing for change is 🔥. Try When the levy breaks, Dr my eyes,alot of Motown and R &B ❤

[@ninochkalove]

Seen so many of these . This might be the most soulful. Of course when you are playing this fantastic Stevie song, I don’t know if you can go wrong ❤

[@Noelle0026]

All of the Playing for Change covers are 🔥🔥

[@bridgethockney2303]

Playing For Change has so many wonderful songs. Their live version of what's going on is classic. I also love that we all seem to have a different favorite of theirs!

[@Alison-h8e]

LOVE THESE GUY"S!!! Every song they cover has made me smile. From some songs all would recognize in western culture some songs from different cultures they do like Chan Chan and Chandra Mama are just 2 of my fav's. Again you'll see more artist's from around the world Chan Chan is a definite groove speaking of groove try their version of Groove in G ....mind blown!

[@jasonalehr]

Music is the soul of the universe, it connects us from all walks of life.

[@scm0717]

💯

[@atuuschaaw]

Playing For Change is one of my top music channels. So glad to see it up on your channel. Math may be the universal language of the world's minds, but Music is the universal language of the world's hearts. ♥

[@ogfail1867]

Everything that Playing for Change does is amazing.

[@vetti2u]

I've spent hours watching cover song videos like this on the Playing For Change KZbin channel! There are tons of banger covers like this one, and one of my favorites is "The Weight" originally sung by "The Band". And the video includes Robbie Robertson (RIP) of The Band.

[@paulpenix8198]

One of my favorite playing for change videos is the cover of the Doobie Brothers' Listen to the music.

[@llusk6375]

I have never watched one of these collaborations that I didn't enjoy. 😊

[@catherinefourfeathers2079]

LOVE Playin For Change🪶🎼❣️

[@CarolLewellen]

I love this! Vocals and music is wonderful!

[@Heartstrings_Skyla]

We need more tracks like this. Music for the heart and soul.

[@michaellynch9550]

I got excited when I saw you were doing this cause I thought it was Stevie Wonder. Damn.

[@debbywilkins2239]

Me too

[@johnashcraft2751]

Music is a world uniter. Everybody on this planet loves some form of music.

[@AnastasiaPengrin-Barker]

Her voice gives me GOOSEBUMPS she's SO Good!!!!

[@Lulabee2024]

LOVE LOVE LOVE Playing For Change. Been following their channel for some time now. I would like to shout out the producers (whoever they all are, my goodness what a feat) I had CHILLS the entire video. Thanks Polo. You are a class act. 😎

[@SherylRode]

I’m definitely going to be checking out the Playing for Change KZbin channel. I love this!

[@AP-gb3eh]

I love the whole Playing for a Change Series. Music is at the very soul of humanity, wonderful. Pick any song in this series, it will make your day better. People who truly love music will always come together for great music

[@intothemystic3374]

Thank you for checking out Playing for Change!! All of their "song around the world" songs are off the hook. Pls review more!!!

[@amjrpain919]

They have an amazing version of "When the Levee breaks"!

[@jessicaleblanc-nh1yl]

Playing for Change is incredible! This is an amazing production that combines so many cultures to combine, share & sing out! Thank you so much for sharing this one!

[@user-tb9dx9mg2njsb]

Polo we are all connected through music and it’s a great thing!!! Try playing for a change doing when the levee breaks!!!

[@MrVvulf]

My favorite part of the instrumentals was the guy playing the Kora (long necked, 21 strings). Dude had a long neck harp sounding like BB King.

[@gsm1morris]

The leave should be your next playing for change. Tow gents blowing harp are outstanding.

[@pamb.7753]

Just had to watch again. Special song and compilation of other musicians and vocalists. Thanks.

[@keithreuter4932]

Love this channel.....When the levee breaks and Santana. A must.

[@13_13k]

Polo ---- thanks so very much for sharing this video. I agree with you in saying this is the best cover of this song I've ever heard. The amazing production and editing to mix all these musicians from all around the world is a skill all on its own. Fantastic groove, amazing vocals and that lead solo was killing it.

[@StoyTheOld]

Not just the best cover, this is best thing I've listened to for a very long time. You should check out Ravi Shankar at the Monterey Pop Festival.

[@yvesbarriere2922]

There is a cover of 'When the levee breaks' (Led Zeppelin) from Playing for change that you must see. (No joke) Featuring John Paul Jones on the bass.

[@robmartin2860]

These videos of people playing all over the world at same amazing me !!

[@jannetteberends8730]

Clarence Bekker had a successful career in the Netherlands, but gave it up to go to play as a street artist, and he joined playing for a change. He’s phenomenal as street-artist. That’s how I learned about him, a video where he plays in Barcelona as street artist, and managed to made his performance into a sing-along with the public. He’s very good in engaging the public. And he’s a very good singer of course.

[@rickpetersen1745]

Polo the Moody Blues told us in the 60s, that music is the universal language.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

Other PFC videos I would suggest: "Biko", "Everyday People", and "Ripple"

[@johanna11980]

Stunning video ... I love the skill-set, I love the way so many people are brought together from around the world ... the flow was mesmerizing, from the musical instruments to the vocals ... simply beautiful .... as a sidenote the version of "too many people making the soup". while I was going-up was the following: "too many cooks spoil the broth" 😅😂

[@adeptusmagi]

Luti is brilliant on the slide resonator on lots of their songs

[@HelynnHeels]

You definitely need Playing For Change songs. And I'd love to watch you react to more of their stuff.

[@Paul-gv6qd]

Jane's Addiction " Three Days"

[@mstewart109]

Polo, the playing for change artists are so worth you pausing whatever you are doing to listen. I sure do. I agree their covers are top tier

[@paulaleckey1968]

This is what musics all about

[@revaflowers3115]

Love this Playing For Change cover. They do a great Nirvana cover to of Come As You Are and then also Robbie Robertson's The Weight(which has Robbie playing guitar and Ringo Starr drumming).

[@RockChick63174]

Such a good song in general, but they really make it groovey. ❤

[@sergestorms8044]

I think I experienced this a while back....great jam man...worldwide its almost like a quick uplifting global song. good choice!

[@scm0717]

I thonk music is the great unifier. This is awesome!! I hope Stevie heard this.

[@RandyGabbert]

Music is the universal language!

[@jazzmandolin5004]

I was street jamming in Lisbon Portugal a few years ago with a Japaneses guy and a guy from Brazil came along, then a Romanian gypsy, a French Manouche guitarist, a couple of female Portugese Fado singers and a Russian girl singing. A couple could speak English but most of the communication was done just by the jamming. You can't tell me that music doesn't bring people together.

[@lizbrown8114]

This is just so good. Music is powerful!

[@loverofsong9830]

Thank you!! This is an incredible track!!!

[@MsReignSeattle]

That’s so crazy. When I ran across your channel the other day the first thing I thought I’d love to see you react to was Playing For Change “Stand By Me”. I listened to that song 1000x in 2011. Please react to it if you can find it.

[@randyallaben9900]

Gotta do Playing for Change When The Levee Breaks. It’s mind blowing.

[@davidanon1568]

I always loved Stevie Wonder's music. Sometimes you just need a little Superstition.

[@dekk640]

Playing for change is absolutely amazing not a bad cover every video makes me smile I am grinning from ear to ear. Check out some of the other options fabulous.

[@GayleKazanis]

Goes to show we are much more the same than different ❤ peace ✌️ Polo...

[@susiedawson3349]

They also cover Imagine-Lennon and Soulshine-Allman Brothers and many other awesome covers.

[@scottzappa9314]

I love stuff like this and it's great music, very unique.

[@sherryherrick6567]

Love this song, l always have!

[@stephenreiner1523]

Everywhere Steve goes he brings an entourage of talent.

[@MikeRenning]

Thanks for this one! If you liked the desert rock played on the shiny guitar, be sure to check out the group Tinariwen or the guitarist Mdou Moctar. It's a unique and addictive groove.

[@pennysilvey8868]

Polo, you should check out John Paul Jones doing When the Levee Breaks on playing for change. That one is awesome! I think you would enjoy it.

[@nmockster5363]

I sent you Playing For Change doing Led Zep’s When The Levee Breaks months ago. John Paul Jones is playing on it and it is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 I would also recommend Jackson Brown & Playing For Change doing Doctor My Eyes.

[@tokyosteve5187]

Agree wholeheartedly with @JB-zz8mk, my favorite Playing for Change video is the cover of "When the Levee Breaks"

[@tootz1950]

Playing for Change...Buskers from different countries are filmed playing the same song and then the video is made from patches of everyone.

[@loverofsong9830]

This deserves a Grammy. ❤

[@beckymellon8135]

One of my favorite Stevie songs😊❤️✌️

Hi Polo… I’m a fairly new subscriber and love your videos! Music truly is universal and joins hearts and souls. I have a very eclectic taste in music. Anyway… thought you might want to listen to an old fashioned romantic song by The Rivieras called “Moonlight Cocktails”… also a different take on the song “Summertime” sung by GQ… blessings to you!!! 😎

[@dramaqueen6G]

Have you listened to any other song from that channel? Their rendition of When the Levee Breaks is really powerful.
