ABOUT PLAYING FOR CHANGE:
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.

I loved this rendition by Roger Ridley, i listened to it for many. many times, loving it, learned it on the guitar; then i wanted to go to Cali and find him, just loved him as a great human being; and i found out he had passed away, i wept for a while...I was crushed that i missed him, but his message lives on! Love ya roger... RIP my friend i never met. I am 70 yesterday, sad i missed ya Brother... i wrote a while back the family, to let them know the impact Roger had on me! and others Much Love from SE Texas Bear
Sir, thank you! You made me cry. Thanks for standing by me.❤
"This song says
No matter who you are
No matter where you go in your life
At some point
You're gonna need somebody to stand by you"
R. I. P Mr Ridley, I think we need more people like you...
Thanks to God for creating this man and giving him such a gift.
I am so grateful that this is captured for all future generations to appreciate. Thank you Roger and thank you Playing For Change.
Muito non.

Thank you dad, this is your greatest teaching 🙏
“I’m in the joy business.” 💗
2022 and still one of my favorite versions of this song. Thank you Roger Ridley and Playing For Change. Love you Roger.
Eu conheci o Roger Ridley em 2018. Não consigo parar de ouvir desde então. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
We all go, one day. But why does such a man have to leave so soon? His soul and art are divine.
I found one of Rogers RUclips videos by chance I live in the UK, after watching the first video I was hooked, when I hear him sing it just makes me feel so good, I wish I could have met this great man.
This man had more music in his little toe then all the singers from the last 10 years combined.
I don’t understand how some of those people just walked on by. I was glad to see that one man holding his little child in his arms & dancing in time with the music. At least he showed some respect and appreciation for the singing & music. God Bless them all.
He is singing to Gods angel now. God Bless and RIP bro.
Hi
🥺🙏💔
Is true his a died?
Really????????????/ What is your color?????????????/
💕💕
Listening to you bring love in my heart all the time ! R.I.P
Roger is what music is all about. Putting a smile on some ones face thru your music is priceless. I hope people fills his cup thru kindness. If I was there he would get whatever was in my wallet. This is what it is all about. This man needs a music contract. IF I was in the buisnes I would want to hear more. Blues is awesome.
God bless you sir.
With respect to you from Japan.
Love this guy. Sent for his CD live in England but sent to America for his song. I love his voice he should have been an international singer. What is wrong with this world. He is and was amazing. Sometime life is not fair. But so many of us still love your voice and who you are. RIP Roger an amazing man and human being.
I watch this song on RUclips from time to time. And it brings joy into my day by the man who was "in the joy business." ...........Thank you Roger Ridley!
I first saw Roger perform in Grand Central Station, NYC. I stopped in my tracks when I heard his voice.
I purchased his cassette tape and learned all the tunes. I’m a bass player and I knew that I would one day perform with this amazing talent.
Fast forward a few years and I was hired to put together an act for opening day and night at The US Open Tennis Championship in Flushing,NY.
I called Roger and told him I knew his songs and I needed him for two shows.
Needless to say..both shows were amazing and every other person came up to him and told him how great he was or that they saw him perform in NYC somewhere. We also had harmonica legend Will Galison on the gigs.
Since Roger did not follow tennis I had to give him some coaching since he was
“ The Master Of Ceremonies “
His opening line was “I’d like to welcome everyone to the opening of The Open 😊
We got to spend some time between shows and he told me his story..
This was such a special time for me and it was an honor to perform with Roger. He was a wonderful human and I’m so sorry he’s gone. I read through the comments and it’s great to see that he’s missed..
this is amazing.
Thank You for sharing this story!! Amazing all around!!
nice story!
아 진짜 너무 좋아서 계속 하고 있는 것이다, 이렇게 되면 보는 이들의 웃음을 선사했다, 그 때 그 사람의 인생을 사는 것이 아니라 그 안에 있는 모든 것들을 다 같이 모여서 함께 하는 것은 물론 아니다, 또 다른 관계자는 이날 오전 국회에서 기자회견을 열고 이같이 결정했다고 밝혔다,
@Daniel P ,greeting daniel p, i am from the other side of the world of new york city. i am korean living in hong kong. busking is quite new in hong kong comparatively. you are fortunate to have a passion and talent for playing music. i have never stopped dead in my tracks such as yourself being fortunate enough listening to a true busker, talented and bringing joy to the world such as roger ridley. hong kong so called subway systems are called mtr, or mass transit railway. there is absolutely no busking in or on hong kong's mtr.
i have liked and love pop music since the days of radio, cassettes, and vinyl records. the rock and roll revolution really was a revolution that changed the world. my korean parents were quite liberal regarding music also considering the conservativeness of koreans back then, not like now with k-pop since a decade ago. my father liked western pop music since the days of stand by me, my way, twist and shout, and blue suede shoes. the pop music such the development of k-pop was national decision to develop the republic of korea, after the national decision to develop korean dramas and exporting them. the local chinese hong kong belongers like our korean dramas. daniel p, kindly give this youtube clip of a live performance of a k-pop band : SBS [2013가요대전] - 씨엔블루(CNBLUE) 'Im sorry' a try.
my mother was also was a pioneer in western entertainment particularly what is know as modern dancing since the days of the vietnam war.
my parents were the first koreans to bring korean live entertainment to countries such as spain and italy with korean cabaret women, dressed in sequins, performing live in night clubs.
daniel p, i have made other comments about the so called movement playing for change, about how disgusted i am at comments for playing for change and the movement playing for change. i would like folks to get really organized to get true talented buskers of a particular country of region and play busking music, suitable for folks of a particular country or region, at live aid concerts, once a week in a different part of the world making change into millions, then billions, then trillions to serve humanity.
daniel p, i also wish i am talented or more talented that say tina turner's manager who approached tina turner and made a deal with tina turner to get half of the proceeds to which tina turner agreed. check out how tina turner's manager changed and turn around tina turner's so called career. i do not like using the word career. we do not have to say much such a song such as simply the best which still gets folks really going and enjoying.
so daniel p, you got roger ripley to play at tennis competitions with you. perhaps you could really dedicate others and yourself, to get true talented buskers of a particular country or region, and organize successfully, to play live aid concerts almost all around the world really successfully and create revolutions.
daniel p, kindly allow me to share a treasure of an enlightenment from God during some difficult times in my life which is 'the purpose of a higher education is to pursue one's passions to serve humanity. no educators, nor clergy, nor governments have come up with a better solution to serve most of humanity. you could spread the word in your endeavors with other in the true talented buskers of a certain country or region in busking live aid concerts, once a week, fitting and suitable for a certain country or region.
daniel p, i am crippled with seven disabilities. i thought awhile back what the heck to do with my life. i thought for several days, and decided to follow one of Jesus; teachings and answers to a question ask to Him by a wise old man asking what to do with so many problems in the world. Jesus' answer and teaching was to save one life is like saving the world. i rented a sub divided unit in an infamous building named chungking mansions in tsim sha tsui, kowloon, hong kong. i decided to go where folks with troubles to try and help, instead of waiting for folks with troubles to come to me.
daniel p, i have also been a third generation refugee escaping the seriousness of war from beirut, lebanon to the greek part of cyprus. my immediate father's family side of family were refugees in mainland china when the demented evil samurai japs invaded korea and did all manners of evil during workd war one. we also suffered in the diaspora in mainland china. my father's older brother was roman catholic priest, as a refugee in mainland china, and was killed by the chinks. when mao tse tung went about his crazy, evil cultural revolution, my father smuggled himself to macau, then a portuguese colony, then to hong kong when it was a british colony. his mother snuggled herself to hong kong and we opened and operated the first korean bbq restaurant illegally on the top floor of a residential building in 1964. we then opened and operated our second korean bbq restaurant in chungking mansions in 1965. chunking mansions was very different to what it is now. it was one of two buildings in hong kong with an escalator. we subsequently opened and operated three more korean bbq restaurants. we donated money from the profits from our korean restaurants to build a church and a seminary in the republic of korea.
when i told my mother i rented a sud divided unit in chungking mansions, she freaked out and told me not to bring my girl friends up there, not that i had any intentions of doing so and did not.
i started trying to help asylum seekers for eritrea, ethiopia, somalia, cameroon, rwanda and then pakistanis, an argentian, and a english. those who stayed in sub dived units in the same falt as me were all kicked out due to a new lying land lord. i then move to a sub dived unit mongkok. that is where i tried helping chinese triads, one who was homeless sleeping on the street with other triads groups after his inheritance of a flat. i also have tried to be nice a filipina who came to hong kong to help her financially poor sister being and escort and prostitute, to asylum seekers from tobu whose husband and father of two young boys abandoned them to find a chinese woman to get a hong kong identy card, and tried to be nice and tried to help muslim asylum seekers from tartartstan, palestine, iraq, and egypt.
i have house rules which are no serious drugs such as ice, heroin, crack, pornography, gambling, playing the stock market, and sex.
i even helped an american chinese get out of mental institution. a pakistani, who i helped whom i helped when were in chungking mansions, was in a mental intitution, and when ever he did call me, the american chinese was right by him, and spoke to me on the phone. the chinese american family did not help him, nor did his business partner in vietnam. he also stayed at my place. so did the pakistani before his family sent him back to pakistan.
daniel p, should you really endeavor with playing for change with talented true buskers, as live aid concerts world wide as i mentioned, kindly invite me, with all expenses paid. my health has deteriorated much more and one one my neurologist, who knew i did and go bits of being a samaritan, told me, three years ago coming summer to stop being such a samaritan because it was detrimental for my health. she was correct, and i am still doing bits.
daniel p, i look forward to you and other true buskers with such playing for change live aid concerts and making revolutions and becoming friends with you. i am also the kind of guy who would like to create a parallel economies, not with fiat currencies created by the powers to be. check out what usa and france did to mohamed ghadaffi when he decided to back up his so called country's currency with gold and wanted to create the united states of africa, and all the damn migration crimes against humanity.
be good proactively. be well proactively. be wise proactively.
from psychokilller - internatinal beggar, james han.
the first person i helped quit smack was a filipino bass player in 1985..i have more experienced now. i have an illegal formula to help heroin addicts quit should the addict really wants to quit, staying with me taking the same formula with me, and the person can go back to work in three weeks. i still spread the word around about this. an older drug dealer was surprised my formula to help heroin addicts quit smack as surprised my formula was the same as his.
i have shared by double bed with black, brown, yellow, and white skinned folks. do not be homophobic. some who have stayed with me have been, and slept on the floor when i was poorer and did not have have a pull out sofa bed as i do now. daniel p, i have been doing this for seventeen years now.
Sorry to hear he has passed on. He was my first introduction to Playing for Change.
Same here and I just learnt he has passed - a talent gone but not forgotten, a man that could have made money in a corrupt industry but instead choose to make joy in the streets. R.I.P.
And that's how a cover becomes the original💙
Our world needs more ppl with beautiful giving hearts n souls like him, God bless *
Si por una pantalla de celular transmite esa alegría y energía no me quiero imaginar lo afortunados aquellos que
Vieron en vivo derrochar tu talento y al menos pudieron compartir una charla contigo. Vives en el ❤ de quienes te escuchamos.
Thank you Roger Ridley, I m not feel alone by your voice

Thanks Roger Ridley! Rest in peace my friend! From Curitiba Brazil!
R.I.P brother. You've got plenty standing by you. Good Journey my friend
Oh shit! Simply 👏👏👏
so many years past, this is my most favorite version of this beatiful song.
I honestly don’t think I’ve ever such ‘soul’ in a mans voice.. absolutely amazing.
Thinking... Elvis was just beautiful.. Roger is ‘Raw/sharp’ beautiful... I would put him in the same league! RIP Lads❤️
The first 'Playing for Change' song I heard and fell in love with was Roger and the world doing, 'Sitting on the dock of the bay'. After that, 'Stand by me'. Like others I'm so saddened to learn of this gentle man's death. Through the work of Playing for Change, Roger truly did touch many thousands...hundreds of thousands of lives. Rest in peace Roger Ridley.
His voice on his tears on my pillow brought a tear to my eye, such passion and joy for his performance screamed that he was a “joy bringer”
I don't usually comment on RUclips, but I've been waiting for the release of this solo version for years now! Literally! Thank you so much for uploading it!
You'll forever be missed Mister Ridley! Greeting from France!
RIP Sir. Thank you for bringing Joy to people with your voice. 🙏
