    This is the final PFC Song Around The World featuring both Roger Ridley and Grandpa Elliott together and serves as a tribute to them both for all the love and talent they have shared with everyone who’s ever passed them by on the streets. I remember asking Roger Ridley, “Why with a voice like yours are you playing music on the street?” He replied, “Man I’m in the joy business, I come out to be with the people.” Check out the amazing vocals of Roger’s sister, Alice Tan Ridley, recorded live in Harlem, NYC, as she sings her final song with her brother. RIP Roger, you live through the good we all create together in this world.

    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.

    Watching Roger and Alice sing together was a treat. I have watched Alice busking in the NY subway for over 30yrs. I had her sing at my Library for a couple times, and have a picture with us on my desk. When I wanted to book her again 2 yrs ago. I learned from her manager, that she is sick, and cannot perform anymore. The musical legacy is on CZcams for her grand children. I know her daughter Actress (Gabourey Sidibi) is very proud of her musical heritage.

    Omg. I always thought Sam's voice was so unique that this would be a hard song to cover but holy crap Roger killed it. They were all wonderful but Roger's voice was perfect for this. What a talent. 👌

    I am a lover of Sam Cooke and was just listening to him singing this and admiring his beauty at the same time. I didn't think anyone could do better. This version not only gave me chills but tears to my eyes. Thank you! From my late mother too who spent her life buried in Blues/Jazz clubs in her youth and one of the last things she did was kiss a photo of Sam Cooke and said "I LOVE THAT MAN!" I wish she was alive to hear this version. Exactly how it should be done. EXACTLY!

    I really never thought this song could give me more feels and chills if it was sung by anyone else other than Mr. Cooke himself, but wow…I was proven WRONG! And this song was done the best justice possible! Thank you. Rest in heaven RR!

      Remember seeing Rodger and playing for change on my local PBS station ten years ago at least. My life has never been the same. I now Can play the gutiar and this gift is directly an aftermath of this wonderful program. I was 39 when I started practicing on the instrument. I'm now 54 and though I'm no troubadour, I play for me and my God who has made this a gift to play cords and to let my self decompress to the beautiful sound of the gutiar. Oh, it WAS difficult learning to play but, my soul thanks me every time I strum the Damn thing.
