Stand By Me | Playing For Change | Song Around The World (FIRST TIME REACTION)

[@lcbcreative]

Great choice Stormy! One of my brothers introduced me to this series of videos earlier this year but I hadn't seen this one yet. They are all amazing. Music unites us in so many ways. Thanks, Hap!!

[@gailsiponen7484]

No one is homeless. Roger Ridley has been a back up singer and recorded many times he’s world famous from Santa Monica. Grandpa Eliot is a legend in New Orleans and Clarence Becker is the top American soul singer in Europe. The concept us to bring singers together and musicians together from around the world to make music for social causes.

[@sumerfluffy]

That was absolutely wonderful! Great great choice Stormy! Awesome reaction!!

[@stormy081464]

Thanks Sumer!

[@TheAwho]

They are not homeless, they are musicians from across the globe playing for change. Absolutely beautiful and they have lots of amazing songs!

[@WestGaming.]

Don't worry he don't have any sense of humour that's why he said homeless fellows. We think at first and then said something but he said first and then think 😂 such a stupid fellow 😂😂😂

[@stormy081464]

Glad you are enjoying, stopping the video to say they are street musicians not homeless necessarily. Just local talent busking lol going to finish watching now

[@travisrussell9166]

There trying to play together to change the world towards each other. Stand by me and we can change the world to see we are all the same, all Human

[@Sparkly-Unicorn]

This was a truly Epic performance of this legendary song. I loved it! Not just the music but the idea behind it. And the music was so good and smooth. I will be checking out their website also!! Great reaction!! Great song choice Stormy! 🌻🌻

[@stormy081464]

I know right!!

[@TheCybotic]

Sitting on the Dock of the Bay is wonderful too. And Imagine.

[@gracek4309]

Awesome! Loved ur comment about who can relate to the song/sing with such depth. I totally get it. Thanks for sharing this video to Stormy&Hap. 🎶💗

[@victorvinas6497]

Not homeless but street musicians.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Yes I was aware of it in the comments. Thank you. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@karenj3611]

This has always been a favorite song of mine, love this rendition. Beautiful

[@chrisy8989]

Loved this! Grandpa Elliott has an amazing voice.

[@hectorsmommy1717]

RIP Grandpa. He passed away this past spring.

[@karolyn8644]

You got it, this wonderful concept of working toward unity and international understanding. The videos are always very well-made. It is a mystery to me how they find these fabulous musicians all over the world. There was nothing here from Mexico that I saw. The Twin Eagle Drum Group at 6:39 is from Zuni, an Indian Pueblo in New Mexico. It is a sad fact that many "American" citizens don't realize that New Mexico is part of the US. It is a state in the southwest part of the country, between Texas and Arizona, and has been since 1912. The New Mexico Magazine has a column called "One of our 50 is missing" where people send in their stories, such as being told such things as "we don't ship to foreign countries." I've had a few of those incidents myself. Drum groups like the one here play at pow-wows. Even a small pow-wow may have 20 or more such groups taking turns playing for the various dances. They are just called "drums" as in "What drum are you singing with?" Sorry for rambling about something that probably doesn't interest the majority, but it is a subject close to my heart, so please forgive me. 😎

[@karenj3611]

Priceless!!

[@rumayoosthuizen9948]

Awesome,singing like that

[@cnatview]

This is the first Playing For Change compilation that I listened to and it was a couple of years ago. After listening to it I felt, like you expressed that it was amazing. It's like music is the thread that can connect and hold the world together. I started following some of these people after watching this and some of them look totally different now than they did back then but their sounds are still just as beautiful. Bumped into this tonight and it was a pleasure to watch again. Thanks for your reaction. Take care and be well. Peace.

[@amberburris5674]

Stand By Me is my FAVORITE song, movie and second favorite book of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know what you are about to watch and I hope you appreciate it as much as I do! God bless this world and love to everyone!

[@Svatidas]

Pleased that you corrected your comment. Not all street musicians are homeless, though it might be their only income. Thank you for this fantastic performance.

[@nyima04011]

Originally written & sung by Ben E. King (& Jerry Leiber, Mike Stoller) released in 1961. King was lead singer of The Drifters for a while. Thanks for another great reaction!

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Thanks for providing the information. 👍🏽Glad you enjoyed too. (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@deeyears3978]

Grandpa has a very good voice! I love how they put this together because we all have to stand together now and always!

[@denikennedy6675]

WOW!! THAT'S FANTASTIC THEY TRULY WERE GREAT! AND TO PUT IT TOGETHER FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD! MUSIC DOES FIND A WAY TO UNITE US!

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Yes it certainly does. Thank you. 💜 (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@blonderebel8356]

Thanks for sharing ! An epic song !!!

[@christineharrison1111]

Do post more from Playing for Change. It is a feast of music from around the world, joining together artists famous and not so famous. This one was the first video I saw from Playing for Change. You will love it.

[@snjezanasiklic8934]

I've always loved this song, though I prefer the original by Ben E. King :-) But these Singers do send a beautiful message about unity so needed these days.

[@colinrichardson4490]

One cool song and video😀, one cool reaction 👏 applause from me👌👍

[@Roylevis]

I love this version, And the first man, his raspy voice is top notch.

[@avidrdr5640]

He (Roger Ridley) was the inspiration for starting the Playing For Change movement when he was discovered in Santa Monica. This was the first song they did. Sadly, he passed away not long afterward, before the movement became so widely known.

[@doug729]

They are buskers. Not homeless. Roger (opening) is in Santa Monica, Grandpa Elliot busked in New Orleans for decades. Clarence, lived in Amsterdam and Barcelona. The rest are musical groups/ buskers from around the world. This was started by Mark, who is a sound man.

[@maccrazy7335]

Pretty sure most of these MUSICIANS were not homeless. Some people just earn their keep busking....

[@korinalacount2664]

No matter who sings this its good,need a song like this in todays world!

[@SouthernCustomsNZ]

I would definitely recommend reacting to sittin on the dock of the bay done by this group again

[@chrisdangelo4986]

The first man was odds redding the man who wrote the song

[@kilroy205]

playing for a change has so many great covers please more.

[@eldridbakk8623]

Nice one !

[@diesebellim9044]

first time listen i just enjoyed the sound ah i remember i heard that song but i dont know the original singer...

[@Bear78420]

It’s not all buskers or homeless. Many famous musicians and singers have been involved too

[@BobbieRockyBuster1415]

They're NOT homeless,they are singing for change as in change in circumstances not change as in money

[@lowrider4266]

Damn having a brain fart on who sang this. He was excellent musician. Not sure if this is him. He is a black man that had a fabulous voice.

[@HAP3SPEAKZ]

Hii I read the comments it was done by Ben E King (Jerry Leober, Mike Stroller) (Copyrighted HAP3SPEAKZ) ©️

[@lowrider4266]

Grest❤❤❤😊

[@montrelouisebohon-harris7023]

I've got to hear this! Saw where you reacted to Evanescence and I've been trying to get on your patreon page and I can't get it to upload on my phone. Amy Lee is freaking awesome and Evanescence is a great band if you get time you should react to bring me to lie because it will blow your mind to the official video. WWWHHHOOAAA! out of this freaking world and I can listen to it several times in a row and it's that pump you up kind of song. she sings like a damn powerful Angel and My Immortal is a beautiful slow saint but " BROKEN" Amy Lee and Seether is even more beautiful and the harmonies are just enough to make you melt.

[@saries54]

These people are street musicians, not homeless necessarily.

[@duckieman56]

Not homeless folks I seen Grandpa play in New Orleans

[@opalblack879]

Different musicians around the world play the song the recorded each their parts and then they get edited together

[@GinMae]

Thanks, Hap.. it was interesting to hear your original interpretation that it was "about homeless people".. because it really is NOT.. (they are, as you say, for the most part.. "buskers").. Playing for Change.. is not about collecting spare money... it's about changing the concept of music to include people from around the world.. those guys are not homeless... lol.. anyway, hope you listen to more from this organization...

[@justlinda8133]

RIP grandpa Elliot not homeless people

[@deeyears3978]
