    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.

    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...

    Gandpa Elliot has a lot of angels come to carry him home. The shame in this world is that we don't appreciate what we have until they are gone. His wonderful voice has joined the band of angels.

    One cannot find a better interpretation than Granpa Elliott with this renowned spiritual, very much in the New Orleans vibe and of its significant meaning, pre Civil War. Great work by the Playing for Change group. I for one am now supporting them directly. Thank you for the music of binding us together world-wide.

    Just buried a dear friend, and on the procession from the grave to the reception the band busted out with this song. It's always been one of my favorites and now it has an extra special place in my heart. Belting out the words with the trumpet and clarinet was the best send off you could ask for.

    When the Devil lays down the sheet of paper listing all your Sins and you know you have named them all and asked for forgiveness and you are no longer in that darkness, the Great and peaceful and merciful Father flips the page and shows you the page is clean, you can float on that river with no fears. A beautiful rendition with all colors of God’s creations. Love, love , loved it!!!
