We are still listening in 2024 ! This is the absolute best !
Hard to beat this if you look for something to put you in a good mood 🙂
It's totally true
Indeed, here we are listening to this fantastic version in April 2024!

@@michelledeneuve581 oh oui! la musique est le médicament de l'âme, quels chanteurs !! demain on déconfine...?? No se !
My dog doesn't agree

Still listening in 2022. This is eternally uplifting. Thank you Stevie Wonder for this excellent piece.
Love this version
@@melissahall4140 I do too, and Stevie is so hard to cover. This group does an amazing job.
Yes 😊 🙏 Thank you Stevie
@ Amy Hayutin..... Amen! Love this song, Love Stevie Wonder, Love this Channel 😊❤🙏
Playing for Change are always so good ... thank you thank you thank you for the sound and your vision !
Wow, I'm a 65 yr old white woman from the west USA and feel like I'm hearing the true music of the world, TY TY!!!
to be fair whoever edited these clips to make a vid needs a medal - man alive thats some skills
I agee!
I think so too. In the Spirit. In the Spirit. God's Eye.
The audio production quality is cool, warm and isolated too...
@shillslayer Clarence Dekker is the only one recorded indoors.
I mean they could have planned it. Went to those places and asked them to do parts of the song and record it. Then take the recordings home and edit it together. Its not hard to ad music together. There are even sites that allow it in the fly
Are we still listening in 2020? So uplifting in these scary times.
Yes, still listening. Still learning. Still looking for uplifting music.
I came back to this especially because I needed some uplift! Gave me some cheer after a scary week!
My friend from work sent this to me today. This is powerful.
Listening right now, Ellie!
Yes we are.
Clarence Bekker gives me chills with his singing
Yeah, what a voice!
I love Clarence Bekker!♥️
SO LOVE ...
This was AWESOME!!!!!Stevie would be proud of this rendition!!!!
"Playing for Change" is needed in these times. Music is the universal language
You are so right ! Did some traveling in my time and people are all the same in there own way. If people can just put more love in its place they will see its what we all need to be happy as one.
Amen to that.
this music kills any malice, jealousy and hatred.
I was looking for Stevie Wonder version and came across this gem. Got a chill watching it. Just people loving music. Beautiful
Are we still listening in 2023?
I am. And I suspect that millions more are, as well
Yep bro
We have to...
Indeed!❤
Oh yes
I have been sitting here listening to what I consider to be one of the most incredible pieces of music I've heard. Then I pondered on how many times in a row I would end up listening too it because I couldn't stop replaying. Much respect to those involved in the creation of this music and the idea and inspiration of this project. Outstanding and thank you.
MissDistarr60: I just sang to some of your sentences caz dem mi sound gud! Tek care!
Peace be with you friend, You are one of the few that understands PFC! We need more!
No
ME 2
In Full Agreement, Top song and the artists are extraordinary as well. EXCELLENT
I love this 'Playing for Change' series! It has totally opened my eyes to the world in a musical sense. I've always loved Global Music but this series takes it to another level. Thank you all you World Wide Musicians 🥰 🥳 🥰
Right On Sister !! !!
Definitely! Check out Peter Gabriel's Real World Records label too. It was my soundtrack of the 1990s.
Playing for Change are always so good ... thank you thank you thank you for the sound and your vision !
Recorded 12 years ago, and still vibrant! Never gets old...
Not only a Stevie Wonder gem for the ages, but an excellent & soulful interpretation, PRAYING & Playing for Change. We want Peace Now 😊❤

Only Music can bring people together and bring us to higher ground.
Right On Brother !! !! !! !!
ABSOLUTELY! People don't seem to know the power of music and peace and love ✌
What a beautiful example of the potential of our species.
had exactly the same thought after watching PFC and "Listen to the Music"
Right On Sister !! !!
Playing an instrument is an example of the potential of our species? Really. Mankind has been writing and playing great music for thousands of years.
And their more corrupt than ever. The entire economy is dependent on corruption for it continued existence. Honest people dont run the world, the crooked do.
That is why democracy will fail, because it is genetically doomed by power and greed. It assumes there will always be some in power that will hold to the letter of the constitution and honestly execute the ideas contained therein.There is no such thing as an honest person in government. There is also no such thing as an honest business person. They all charge the maximum they can, con you into buying more than you need, just look at the way they layout the supermarket. Its all done to force you to go by as many products a possible before you find the one item you need. You are being manipulated every second of every day. The news only tells you what they want you to know, and nothing more. Everybody attempts to skew every deal in their favor or take advantage of the other and the bigger the deal the bigger the advantage taken. Peace will only come when everyone is being watched and monitored every second of the day to insure their behavior falls withing the governments stringent guidelines of acceptable behavior. And when they know where you are and what your doing every second. If that doesnt scare you to the very center of your soul you are doomed to the worst dictatorship that has ever existed.
I am in in awe of these of these amazing musicians listen all the time. They take me to my happy place ❤
This is one the biggest jam sessions and greatest music ever! Respect.❤
If there is one thing that is truly consistent in this world, it's that people like to groove.
Oh yeah!
I suspect this is what concerts in Heaven are like.
Good Comment :)
Your comment really touched me , what a beautiful way to see it
Amen and amen
Right On Brother !! !! !! !!
Love your Opie icon. I gleaned the very same image a couple yrs ago, just never used it like you have. Well done.
This is easiest my favorite music video I have ever watched and I am 60 years young. EPIC would be an understatement. I am blown away!!! Thanks for making me feel groovy.
Right on Brother 🙏🏽
I feel you brother! Talkin 'bout our generation. I keep coming back to the Playing for Change vids when I need to grab some hope.
@@davidcox5588 thanks for reply. It made we watch the video again. I suffer with severe depression and every time I watch this video the vibe is so powerful it gives me hope that life is worth living and there is still beauty in the world. My depression melts away every time🙏
61 I just stumbled on this myself! Love it wish I could send money!!
@@director2bob Dude....it is one of the greatest(70 myself) Depression? Music is a huge pill and the only side effect is me dancin' like a younger woman. Much peace and beauty to you bro. 🌹
I play guitar myself and have to say that this stuff is absolutely beautiful!! Love it!! Who ever is responsible for mixing this I give a HUGE thumbs up!!!and to all the musicians as well!!! Well done!! Thanx a million!

What a loss to our World. Maya R.I.P. beautiful Lady.🕊️
I love that everyone i these videos has something to share, singing, playing, dancing and if you don’t have anything to play, they wave sticks and make a parade……makes me want to cry!
Thanks McKlaren.
Music has no borders, nothing can bring people together like music.
I am amazed by how so many people from the remote world come together, adding their amazing sounds. This is one-time technology is used for the Good.
exactly what i was thinking when i heard what musicians from Africa were playing to "Higher Ground". it's all about your love & talent for music!
grown man happy tears here
Cryin like a baby... it a good thing.
ME TOO, and men CAN CRY.
I am a MAN's MAN and I AM SENSITIVE..
It's things like this that brings us a little more together In this world. Makes us closer and connected. That's the way I feel. Best feeling ever. We're all In this together. Amen🙏🙏
Where have I been? I am just now discovering Playing For Change. It confirms what I believe, music is magic. I see this video is from 10 years ago. I was working and taking care of an elderly parent. My family member has passed on. I am now retired. Lately I have the time to browse You Tube for gems like this. RIP Mom.
Awesome! Clarence Bekker has a beautiful voice
Darla Brown and powerful! See how far back from the mic he stands for Stand by Me
Yes he is amazing
He's about to release a new album (Feb 2020).
“Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence.”
― Robert Fripp

listen . . .and you feel it!
Absolutely love this version. Thanks for sharing.

2021 groove in g
Mercy. I didn't think it was possible for anybody to do as good a rendition of Higher Ground as the great Stevie Wonder-- but oh my God!!!! This is glorious.
mightymissk nobody can touch the original
mightymissk glorious is the perfect word for this performance.
Amazing vocals
It is.
Glorious.
Uplifting.
Extraordinary, this channel.
Right On Brother !! !! !! !!
Yeah still listening in 2022 Playing for Change gives me hope somedays I cry listening but in the end I might be drained but the end result is I wish more people could open their eyes ears and hearts we're all in this together try to have compassion
Being South African with an Italian mother its SO heart-warming to see "one of ours" - two in this case - included in such a wonderful international ensemble. Titi Tsira and Roberto Luti. I know your country-men wherever you're from feel the same.
Thank you Playing For Change, you guys are doing a great service to humanity. Music is the medicine for the pain. is the solution for hate, is the language to unity. Music is the only place where your heart and mind are in sync!
Excellent Definition! ;)
ORALE !!!!!!!.. MUSIC IS MUSIC IS FOR THE SOUL.....
chekkkkkkk
Yeaaaa!!!
We are made of music
What a small world. Music is the Universal language, so needed now.
a big hug from a human beeing to all of you! This is ...connecting. So great to hear and see.....Thank you all !!!!
Those guys dancing on the beach! Thank you!
Playing for Change's music and images are just what I needed today🙏
Right On Sister !! !! !! !!
Lovers Keep On Loving...
"Higher Ground" all around the world.
Happy Day.
This group is over the top with everything they do.
Every time time I get listening, all of a sudden it's tomorrow
I just came back to this because tomorrow is my birthday, and stuff has sucked lately and I needed an uplift. And yeah, this worked. It'll all be ok. All around the world, let there always be music.
I would certainly stay at home the whole day listen up Playing For Change not only for its music but for its message, great music & great musicians, God bless you !!!
I love Playing For Change songs. I'm usually wary of people "covering songs", but these artists do a beautiful job...and I love their mission and message!
Right On Sister !! !! !! !!
Clarence Bekker’s vocals are outstanding! All the vocals and instrumentals are fantastic.
I love how all of these musicians and their unique instruments make this song so full and beautiful.
Playing for change is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time. If you're truly a lover of music this is obviously exactly what it is all about.
never heard of this 30 mins ago, now I'm on my fourth, started with nirvana
People that don't play don't really appreciate just how good these Musicians are, they are countries apart/don't know each other/play differing styles but still come together like they're in the same studio and as a musician myself I have to say, darned impressive. They are "Tighter" than some bands that are together all the time and the music say's it all really......
SmokinJoe347 people that don’t play appreciate too !!!!
What does it mean ?
Spot on!!
Soo truee! Also mad props to the sound editor tho.. Mixing all those styles in post must be hard as well.
Exactly my thoughts here...this musical interpretation looks easier then what it actually represents in complexity!
They all play to the universe, that's the timing of life
Another amazing Playing for Change performance. What I'm learning from these videos is the astonishing variety of things, devices, whatever that are used for making music. Wonderful!
I absolutely love listening to you Playing For Change. You guys are so amazing. ❤️❤️
Such fabulous music.... Playing For Change.... brings a smile when I feel so down about the human race....
I agree ...
Suze Dummow - Yes, it gives hope.
Suze Dunmow right on Suze I'm a busker and a muso back in the day music certainly can bring people together,and give you faith in the human race unfortunately as I see when I'm busking and dealing with the public some humans are just down right miserable and I'm glad that there are still some nice human beings around,unfortunately there is evil out there and will have know trouble in destroying the whole human race,peace Suze.
Ican listen every day
Love, love, love Playing for Change. Beautiful.
We played Higher Ground at bars back in the 70's,it still speaks true today.
I like this PFC version,lots of people i'd never heard,i'm their fan now!i like
Titi & Clarence vocals,Roberto,Toumani,Hiromitsu,Eyadou,Ibrahim riffs, really good stuff!
Positively in negative times. wherever we are on the globe we are all being conned equally. It makes you feel united
If we all work together we can beat tyranny.
The musicians, the music, whoever spends the time gathering all this video and sounds, and editing it! Wow. Thanks to all of you. I LOVE it!
Imagine all the people solving troubles as we can make wonderfull music like this! Thanks PFC
The timing of the music and the video is near perfect. This is a work of art.
More and more good people, less and less idiots. Altogether we have to work on it.
It's lovely things like this that make me think humanity might have a chance of surviving.
HIGHER GROUND ITS A DREAM SONG.THIS MUSIC GOES YOU TO ANOTHER ERA,ANOTHER PLACE. STEVIE IS A MUSIC SCHOOL.
Excellent version, a big thank you to you all, you made my day!Sending it to everyone i know.
Timeless lyrics. This tune has stuck with me for 50 plus years.
Wow, a German living in Fiji und finding this here on U-tube ..... I'm greatful to all involved for doing this chanel. Vinaka, Danke schoen und Thank you.👍🍀🌴🌴🌴😎
Right On Brother !! !! !! !!
Wow, F''ing brilliant. Who says we can't change the world, we don't have to live the way do. We can become so much more, if we all work together.
I can"t believe how much joy these videos bring to me ,smiled throughout the entire clip
I get choked with emotion and feel the music deep down in my soul...so many wonderful people making such beautiful music is just what the world needs now!!! Ha ha 🎉😢 😅 PFC just blows my mind !! ?? And I need it. Don't you ??
To the person who did the mixing: You are a genius. I hope your work becomes available on cd, better yet video, if it hasn't already.
it is actually a world-wide band with many musicians and a traveling production company. From website: "Ever since that day the Playing For Change crew has traveled the world recording and filming musicians, creating Songs Around the World, and building a global family.
Creating Songs Around the World inspired us to unite many of the greatest musicians we met throughout our journey and form the Playing For Change Band. These musicians come from many different countries and cultures, but through music they speak the same language.Songs Around The World The PFC Band is now touring the world and spreading the message of love and hope to audiences everywhere."
@@GwenetteWriterSinclair I think Ron is focusing on the people who mixed and edited the video and I agree. That needs lauded. Brilliant work on all points.
Hello! You can get our music here www.playingforchange.com/shop/all

Thank You So So Much for Beautiful Songs
People keep on learning. Yes. This song is such a giver...
The instrumental at the end is glorious. What a mix of differing sounds all working perfectly together like We Are the World.
Except on these songs, they’re not all in the same studio, as with We Are the World
Another cool song/video/amazing people & amazing instruments!
This is how to cover a song !!!!
makes me so so happy, and I think Stevie himself also!
I've just found this and it's not a moment too soon. I needed this !!!
Music can change the world.
That rusty old national guitar says it all, no matter how the world changes you, music rings through clear no matter how we look.
I love this series and this group .
i love all of you, musicians of heart and soul, and all your music soo much! thank you for this energy of authenticity, truthfulness, beauty and love. thank you for this transmission of Oneness and Love. May love win. May we be love.
Sucha great song, and great peformers able to share all the emotion and power of the song

Absolutely perfect. At this time, a total uplift of the heart.
