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...
We saw Grandpa Elliott on many occasions over the years when he would play on various street corners in the French Quarter ( New Orleans, of course ). His unique repertoire of musical talents needs no description, but , being only a few feet away while he performed was a very special and culturally immersive experience! When I saw him on the Playing For Change format, it was nostalgic yet spot on with our current world peace and unity ambitions! Grandpa Elliott’s stage presence was just perfecto!!
Grandpa Elliott was a legend in new Orleans I watched him for years and spent alot of great times listening to him and the rest on the streets of new Orleans RIP grandpa
Oh my . 😔 I clicked on this video because I spotted Grandpa Elliot . Had not yet read the news . Such a great loss. I only just discovered him through the “playing for change “ videos . I feel like I missed out on one of the great voices because he is gone so soon after my late introduction to his wonderful voice. Rest easy Sir. ✌️💕💔
That's how I found him. This is great music 🎵 ! I'd definitely pay to see them ! Great rendition ! Great guitar 🎸 work ! I say.... Yeah yeah,hey what's going on ? I said Hey ! People, what's going on ⁉️ Brilliant ! Rock me !
Fifty years ago I dreamed of everything that PFC stands for. Today, I still hold that hope and I’m crying tears of sorrow for all of the opportunities missed, for the lives lost…And I’m crying tears of joy and of hope and of love for all of the opportunities that we have and the joy we make and the love that we hold for each other. The music says it all to those who care to listen. Grandpa, rest easy, you are loved and your legacy is held safe in strong arms. Peace. ✊🕊✌️❤
I would rather go blind than see you walk away from me ....... No no no don't go.... l love you. I was just, .... lwas just...... Again and again this is a great song I listen again and again.

Tho these will be seen and cherished by millions to come. Rest in PeaceGrandpa Elliot…. Now you can really sing to and be with the Angel in Heaven ! ☮️💟✝️

Ii is on my bucket list to one day be healthy enough and have the money to one day go to New Orleans and look him up so I could actually meet him and give him the biggest hug he ever had. And then tell him how much he has meant to me. Especially in the times I have not been able to do much more than go to Drs n be home trying to laugh n smile n sing. And he did that for me….. I love you GrandpaElliot 💝 RIP

When I saw him on the Playing For Change format, it was nostalgic yet spot on with our current world peace and unity ambitions! Grandpa Elliott’s stage presence was just perfecto!!

Verse 1]
25 years and my life is still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
"What's going on?"
[Chorus]
And I say, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
I said "Hey, a-what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
I said "Hey, a-what's going on?"
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, uh huh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, uh huh
[Verse 2]
And I try
Oh my God, do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray
Oh my God, do I pray
I pray every single day
For revolution
[Pre-Chorus]
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
"What's going on?"
[Chorus]
And I say, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
I said "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
I said "Hey, a-what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey
(Wake in the morning and step outside)
Hey-ey-ey
(Take a deep breath and I get real high)
(And I scream)
I said "Hey, a-what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey
(Wake in the morning and step outside)
Hey-ey, yeah yeah yeah
(Take a deep breath and I get real high)
(And I scream)
I said "Hey, a-what's going on?"
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, uh huh
[Outro]
25 years and my life is still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination, mmm

And my life is still
I'm trying to get up

Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling
A little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning
And I step outside
And I take deep breath
And I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?
And I say, hey, yeah, yeah-eah
Hey, yeah, yeah
I said, hey! What's goin' on?
And I sing, hey, yeah, yeah-eah
Hey, yeah, yeah
I said, hey! What's going on?
And I try, oh, my God, do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray, oh, my God, do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes
When I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out
What's in my head
And I, I am feeling
