Roger Hodgson (Supertramp) Give a Little Bit - Smiling Gecko Charity
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 сен 2015
- Roger Hodgson co-founded Supertramp in 1969 and was the driving force behind what fans call the 14 golden years of the band. He wrote, sang, and arranged the enduring rock standards that made Supertramp a worldwide phenomenon with album sales in excess of 60 million. Roger not only gave us “Give a Little Bit,” but also other timeless classics such as "Breakfast in America,” “Dreamer," "The Logical Song," "Take the Long Way Home," "It's Raining Again," "Fool's Overture," "School," and many more.
"As the international supporter of Swiss Artists for Smiling Gecko, the charity concert that took place September 23, 2015 in Zürich, thank you for caring for the children in Cambodia and for being touched by their life circumstances - just like I was. You can find out more at www.smilinggecko.ch." ~ Roger Hodgson #givealittlebit
Roger is currently on tour. See him in Switzerland in 2016 in Zürich February 20 at Volkshaus, Lucerne February 21 at KKL, and Geneva April 25 at Théâtre du Léman. Details for these shows and all other announced tour dates may be found at www.RogerHodgson.com or / rogerhodgson .

Additional information on the Smiling Gecko Charity:
Smiling Gecko’s Intent
Smiling Gecko strives to
• support, initiate and operate charity projects for families and village communities in South East Asia, by campaigns, financial means and onsite-work- always considering aspects of sustainability and ecology;
• establish contact between such projects (and the relevant organizing institutions) and potential donors;
• make sure that donations will be used according to the donor’s intent and to supply the donor with relevant information.
Cambodia
Since the middle of the past century, Cambodia has experienced decades of civil wars, suffered from direct consequences of the Vietnam War, and has lived through the terror regime of the Khmer Rouge. This is why today it needs to be counted among the poorest countries on this planet. In the capital Phnom Penh alone, 30,000 children live in the streets and are subjected to hunger, diseases, and abuses of all kinds. For providing a secure livelihood to these children and their families, aid is needed directly on site. We entertain close and excellent contacts to local relief agencies and are regularly visiting ourselves. This is why we have, for the time being, decided to primarily concentrate our aid on Cambodia.

Think of the children of Ukraine and other countries of the world where children seek a better world. Peace and love !
Sadly, we are self destructive
Chimps in pants. Its just the way it is.
Thanks, man!
He is an amazing human being...God bless you Roger...!!!!
In my opinion the nicest and most talented man on earth. Should have been world leader
I agree. A great person who gives you hope. Very beautiful song. Will never be out of fashion; In this harsh world we need to "give a little bit" as Roger Hodon says.
Plenty of good hearted people around. Unfortunately they are usually blind to the sneaky , ruthless ones until it's too late.
Thanks, man!
Music brings more love to the world. The world needs love so badly.
This world is just that bit better for having Roger Hodgson in it.
Well said man !
No Doubt
True!!!!! I love
Yeah, such a nice man! 😍😎👍
❤❤❤💯💯💯👍👍👍
Roger wrote so many wonderful songs, and this is one of his best.
Artista grandioso! Vedere tutti quei giovani cantare una canzone così datata con quell'entusiasmo mi ha commosso, forse perché ho 62 anni ed e subbentrata un po di malinconia.
The living legend Roger Hodgson and the amazing sound of Supertramp!
Usually I'm not that fan of children's choir but this on certainly blew me away!!!
Who else cried? This is fantastic, brings joy to my heart.
a universal message. Politics and religions aside , we all want the same thing.
me to
Me too of course...
I admit that it brought happy tears to my eyes too....How can it not?
Joyous faces of the children....So very sweet!
It has touched my old heart, for sure
We love you Roger. You are a special person and your songbook has left us a great legacy.
❤thank you Roger..great..i love this Song❤
So nice hearing the kids sing so enthousiastic with Roger! Beautiful song!👏🤗🔝❗️
Mr. Hodgson. Please allow me to thank you for the lasting memories. Your music was the best thing about being a boomer. Continued happiness and success from a huge fan in Ontario Canada. 🇨🇦
Supertramp sound
AQQQA
How can there be so much hate in the world when there can be so much love ? ❤
Dear Roger. You are a person who makes a better world. Your music brings hope, tenderness, love, happyness... in few words, the best of human sense. Thank you for so much!!!! My best regards and respect.
I've been a musician for over 40 years and this song has always been the one I point to as being the greatest example of a songwriter being "in the zone" when he wrote it....effortless and unforced.
You just need to look at Roger Hodgon’s eyes and smile to understand that he is a very nice and generous person and deserves all the success he got.
That's what i noticed too!
Magnifique personne
In Philadelphia we have a rock FM station WMMR. One of the staple personalities (Pierre Robert) is as chill as it gets. I met him a couple times & he is the nicest guy in the world. Pierre says hands-down the coolest, nicest guy he ever met is Roger Hodgson!
*When the drummer of Rush (Neil Peart) passed, Pierre & Preston did a tribute to Neil. wmmr.com/2020/01/17/pierre-preston-neil-peart-tribute/ good listen
I agree with this comment!
He deserves more. Roger is the antidote to modern day cynical social mediaism. ACTUALLY being a good human, not just hopping on causes to grab followers.
I know it. There's still more to life than hoarding and grabbing everything. Thank God for Roger
This is a crowd of people loving life and each other as God intended. Thank you Roger for making the world a better place. God Bless you and all of Super Tramp !!
This is really really hearttouching. Thank you Roger and every voice singing there. How I love the kids...
This video brings me tears every time. You can tell that a lot of the kids really "Get it".. We should all strive for this....
That's because children are innocent and they've not been exposed to all of the things that adults deal with on a daily basis. It's a pure and genuine emotion.
Be quiet lol not sure if people just trying to get a like when they spewing out comments like this .Just be happy and get out more try fresh air don't be shy there is no need to cry.
I see the love of God radiating from every face! Beautiful!
wow, this whas so great, al the kids and singing together in this old song with one of the best band in the 60 , end of the 60 in to 70 . great music and good voises. Thank's Roger Hodgson, u are great.
Seeing a large number of children singing along with Roger chokes me up, because this song is so priceless and timeless. The message is so awesome and it is never too late to give and love one another. This tear jerking song is a great eye opener for people to witness. Roger turning 70 this year is another celebration for all fans to celebrate. God Bless You all!!!
GetWithTheProgram!!!! Live it up!!!! SO well said!
Roger is one of the most beautiful people to grace a stage. He resonates at a frequency only most of us can dream of and I have never heard him talk shit about anyone. Meeting Roger is on my bucket list.
Little legend Roger, great musician ❤❤
Wonderful with the kids. Wonderfull Music. I love Supertramp since the 70 th
What a beautiful gentleman. I had the pleasure of Roger playing a solo concert in Dublin many years ago. Never to be forgotten. I have lived with his amazing heart felt music for almost 50 years. His unique voice is still amazing. Thank you Roger. Keep doing it.
When you hear supertramp song comes on the radio You know your going to have a great day Love supertramp
It puts a smile 😃 on your face ☺. 😎✌🏴
Was in a stereo shop (if anybody remember those) shopping when this song started playing. Couldn't have been a better place to hear it for the 1st time. I still remember asking the salesman who the duck was this.. anyway decided screw the new stereo. Ran straight to the record store and got me some SuPeRTrAmP!!!!
I love "Give a little bit" from Supertramp and Rodger Hodgson. And we all in Rich Countrys give a little bit to poor people in the the world, maybe the world could be better in the future.
Perfect song for a 12-string guitar.
I've seen dozens of versions of "Give a little bit". This one just took my breath away. Bless you Roger ♥♥♥
As you'd expect from the man who wrote it......when he was 19 years old.
What a happy & beautiful bunch of kids in the midst of a mad mad world.
This is the man I would like to meet great person in my view go Roger
All the children involved in this beautiful timeless song will cherish this moment for the rest of their lifes.Thank you Roger.
Absolutely Beautiful! Roger is a Good Soul.... God Bless You Man !

Some songs just bring people together, to harmonize, to join in and to just sing the message that can be taken around the world. 'Give a Little Bit' is one of these very rare and unique songs. Thank you Roger for writing an anthem of togetherness, caring, sharing, loving and Blessings
Thank You Mr. Hodgson for the wonderful things you do. You are so loved and so worthy of the love people give you as you so freely give yours. Bless you Mr. Hodgson, sir.
I imagine this is what heaven looks and sounds like.

Before the music starts, which incidentally is brilliant, I am touched by Roger's sincerity. What an inspiration to be reminded that it is good to give.
One of the best songs ever written!Listen it nearly 40 tears!

Genious Roger....please don't stop doing this....
That is the way the world should be. Absolutely beautiful.
Please don't stop singing Roger...sing to your very last breath...
It's amazing that your voice has held up. You sound every bit as good as you did forty years ago. As a singer in my late fifties I am stunned. God has blessed your pipes and I for one am glad he did.
Now THAT is what the world needs now! I love it! Peace to you all✌

07 junho de 2021 digo o mesmo
Touched my Heart, definitively, Tears in my Eyes, whenever i watch this Video.... and when i play this Song myself, can't sing while crying...
With the crazy times we have gone thru the last few years the lyrics are some thing we should all think about going forward cheers .
Thank you Roger for your gift of music
Skvelý Roger, skvelý Supertramp. Hudba mojej mladosti. Hudba, na ktorej som vyrastala. Napriek ťažkému obdobiu, ktoré prežívame cítim energiu a radosť. Ďakujem Roger. Krásne vianoce a šťastný nový rok. 💕🇸🇰
My God, he looks so incredibly happy
This song is wonderful, with the kids!
What beautiful song coming from a humble beautiful soul. Love the children. Praise Jesus.
Hi Roger! You are a fantastic singer and your Supertramp band will forever stay in our memories and in our hearts! We're from Brazil! Congratulations!
Mr Supertramp must be the most smileable artist ever!!! Love your music!!!
WHAT MASTERPIECES OF THE SONG!!!❤💋❤💋❤
I wish Roger would come to my school and play this to the children. I believe it would change them for the good forever. What a great guy and fantastic sentiment in this song.
The sax musician seems extraordinary to me, also how he plays the harmonica, it's fantastic. Congratulations and BRAVO! 😊❤

Q saudades dos meus 11 anos .
I love Supertramp ....your Songs have my live shaped......THX THX THX
I have known Roger for over 40years....He is very much "what you see, is what you get." Just a kind soul.
When "giving" is discussed it's not the amount that is important, Roger has a lot to give and in different ways, but the humble smile is also giving and in great measure! If you remember you are not here to receive love, so don't hang around waiting for it to come to you...You are here to give love! Give it away as if it is going out of fashion and when everyone has received some of your love, start all over again. UC When you eventually go to your heaven, you shouldn't be taking any love back with you!
Roger you so FANTASTIC 💖💖💖 EACH TIME you tuch my Heart ✌
Thank you Roger - you made me happy to be alive today.
this is the most wholesome thing i can't imagine anything more wholesome
