- On April 13, 2019, Patti Smith + Stewart Copeland (on percussion) joined Choir! Choir! Choir! at Onassis Festival 2019: Democracy Is Coming, co-presented by The Public Theatre and Onassis USA. Together, we sang Patti Smith's anthem "People Have The Power" with a sold-out crowd and Stewart Copeland played percussion, specially a Brazilian samba frying pan!
What happened was pure magic and we're still pinching ourselves. A special thanks to everyone who helped to make this moment happen. Enjoy! #UseYourVoice

if the world had a touch of patti smith
it would be a touch more peaceful and loving
Oh sweet patti thank you
Bendetto ❤️
I am crying and smiling at the same time and shared with all I could! I have loved Patti Smith for many years, and this is so fantastic! Thank you to everyone who participated! It comes to me at a perfect time in my life to inspire!
I like it when the man jumps up and down and the man in the background smiles at this…
People have the Power = We the People of the American constitution.
I don't know how Patti can be so tough and punk rock, so otherworldly and graceful and so cute and full of warmth at the same time. She is a force of nature.
And this is such a beautiful rendition of such an important Song Of hope.
Mina Ermelyn she’s a beautiful person.
Exactly to all of this.
@@CHOIRx3 and so are you two, too. WOKE all the way. Makes complete sense this happened.
:)
Her hands define Patti. They are her tools and are so Graceful even when in a fist of passion or laying out an imaginary landscape or writing: even sipping coffee. Tiny noticeable hands.
Every time I watch this video I cry. She loves really people, ordinary people. I'm 59 and I listen to her for 45 years.
God Bless Patti Smith, Frederick Smith and the people. It is the time for the earth to return to it's rightful renter - us all. Peace, glory, love and revolution.
This should be the New World’s Anthem !!
"That the people have the power to redeem the work of fools."
I'm 70 and have just found this video and I am hooked, I have played it over and over and have yet to tire of it. Patti Smith is lovely and the 3 choirs are lovely too.
Patti Smith did a beautiful performance with Joan Baez. Now that’s a great one to watch.
Let every vote be counted! Cuz the people have the power!
People have the Power? Only in the Dreams...
And on the small pan... one of the greatest Rock drummers
I listen to this from time to time when I need to be uplifted. It gives me chills every time. Patti is a gem.
From Australia 🇦🇺 we love you Patti. Power is in the hands of the people. Vote for peace, acceptance and love ❤️
Im an Aussie too. I LOVE this!
I have always loved Patti’s power of poetry and music and her inspiration of hope in our hearts.
Come On America pull yourselves by your bootstraps and fight for your country 🙏🏼❤️👍
I'm with Diane
My idea of a real rock star. She's talented but full of integrity and humility as well.
Seriously! So beautifully humble. ♡
@Barbara Elovic Absolutely. Well said. She’s such a lovely humble lady.
Beautiful woman.i love her and she changed my thinking
Patti is so awesome, so underrated, and so quintessentially American.
She knows how the universe works
Just dreaming......past dreams.Dreams ended in the sixties.Then we woke up.
The smile on Patti... when hearing choir "people have the power" ....so much energy in that room... just priceless. I think she heard their voices!
Amazing!! One of the best songs of my youth.. I'm 51 now. And what a wonderful voice and style of Patty Smith still in this age.. Just speechless.
So strong...so lovely...
I have a CD with this song on it and every time I play it while driving my car, I sing along JOYOUSLY and as LOUDLY as I can. Watching this video made me cry like a baby - so moving and inspiring. Someone told me once that if you don't THINK you have power, it's the same thing as actually not having it, cuz you do nothing. Let's get out there and DO!!
Please sing / post this again, again and again.... Wake up people of the World...Look around--- Australian fires, US /Middle East / Famine / Water and Ocean ! etc etc etc Especially the young up and coming generations... USE YOUR VOICE !!! With love :)
I'm an atheist. But music like this makes me hope against hope that I'm wrong.
What does religion have to do with it? If nothing, it just affirms to me that we got nothing but each other. It strengthens my faith in people and nobody else.

Your comment is the best. God bless. Don't be scared. Stay on your path.
If you’re wrong then your eternity is at stake!

Repent and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ!

complimenti a Patty, ai musicisti e al coroooo
The Brasil love Choir! Chior! is Patti! People have the power!
We need that sprit of the 60s right now. People must rise up in peace, love and determination to save our country, and the world. Not just Americans, but all peace loving people. We shall over come.
The US imperial state is what this song fights against and dismantles credibility of.. we sit on hundreds and hundreds of Indigenous soverign first-Nations that have been continuously colonized by the US state system for hundreds of years. The concept of "country" outside native place-based existance is an invisibilizing colonial narrative that upholds imperial violence and legitimizes its continued use of genocidal policies. We need to use decolonizing methodologies as strategy to help decentralize this state power, bring Indigenous resistance movements to the front pages, and fight to shift autonomy back to those it was stolen from.. thats what real justice is about; dismantling state violences. If we don't legitimize the heirarchy, the orange man has no power.
I love hearing Patti Smith's voice, she is amazing, and the audiences' voice is so energetic! Thank you Choir Choir!
I need to talk to the 75 people who gave a thumbs down to this incredible song of hope, love and using our voices for good.
My 10 year old daughter just performed People Have the Power at an event based on this wonderful arrangement. Originally she auditioned for the event with a drum arrangement, but had to play it on piano due to technical stage limitations (both videos are on my channel). Thank you Patti Smith and CHOIRx3. It's a timeless song, particularly in 2024, a year marked by the huge number of elections in some of the most populous countries in the world. I loved it, posted it and tagged it in my channel. At the same event, my daughter sang Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes. We did not realize the coincidence until before the performance. Meg White divorced Jack White (who wrote 7NA) and remarried Jackson Smith, the very son of Patti and Fred Smith, who wrote PHTP.
I used to listen to this song over and over when she first released it in '88. And now I watched this for the first time tonight, and it made me cry. And I haven't cried in a very, very long time. Thank you, St. Patti.
Agree 💯 this is a very moving and powerful version of a classic song!
Me too.
I did a snot bubble.
This moved me.
God bless.
Same here!🥹🥰🥹
Me too. Why do you think that it is? It's so damned optimistic and beautiful.
And she presents it so well now in her wise age
This is the way this song SHOULD be performed. Absolutely wonderful!!!
THIS people have the power .......definitely!
Long live to Patti Smith and the postpunk !!!!!!
One of the most beautiful, powerful, hopeful songs for humanity ever composed and performed with such elegance by the lady herself and wonderful choir.
Peace and VOTE for truth!
Best rendition. Her songs have the power to galvanize.
Love you Patti ❤️❤️❤️
I tusind gange 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
An excellent anthem for humanity. A salve for broken souls. Patti power. And that’s Stuart Copeland from The Police !
I first saw her recently on the Nobel Prize rendition of It's A Hard Rain, which ended up really really good with a well deserved heartfelt ovation. She's so human, humble, down to earth. Now I'm a huge fan. This performance with the choir, which TH-cam automatically sent me to, is a treasure for the ages. Her performance with the hand gestures is really cool, the people are so inspired, and her genuine smiles and earthiness fun to watch. Thank you!
She still has that light in her. 💛
So true, her eyes have the spark of a teenager in love and she is in her 70's. That makes me admire her so much.
and always will 💜
I love this! Love you Patty for many years! Excellent job, All! Thank you so much. This is powerful.
Patti smith is a beauty angel with blue wings and honey voice
Great words. Repeat time n time again. It will become so.
I live in Trieste and I love very much this mythical woman whose voice is wonderful and makes you shiver even over the years❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
What can I say. Let's regain power to become a decent civilisation.
Ogni tanto troppo spesso ci dimentichiamo …. Che il popolo ha il POTERE!!!!
This is her most emotional song! It's a song of uplifting, spiritual belief, hope and prosperity. The choir was amazing and I think they were a religious group from some church. She really moved them and me too. SHE has the power!
My last concert was March 8, 2020 at The Fillmore in San Francisco, where Patti Smith, Lenny Kaye, and band gave us a performance to remember forever. People Have the Power was toward the end. We sang along, but not like this. This is completely inspirational, emotional…….
In the darkest days of the last year this sustained me. I watched it many times when hope flagged. Today it is a celebration.
Patti is top, but this choir .. absolutely phenomenal
I have listened to this at least 30 times since 11/3/2020.
Thank you Patti - WE DID IT!!!
THE PEOPLE RULE
THE PEOPLE RULE
Never heard this song, but I so want it to be true. Love to all on your journeys to find love, fulfillment, and happiness.
When we realize it, everything wiil change!
Merry Christmas!
Happy 2022!
Thank you for what you did during my life,
BEAUTIFUL!!! Brought tears to my eyes! Great choice by C!C!C! to cover this song with the GREAT Patti Smith and Stewart Copeland!!!!!! BRAVA!!!
Oh, how I need to hear this every minute these days. Thank you Patti Smith!
A greeting from Sardinia at the time of COVID-19.
This is what America needs now. Hear the calling...! With love... the way Bernie is leading... not with rage... love... many don't get it... You have the power!!! Let them hear you sing! SING, AMERICA... for the people, for the world! ❤️
My eyes water up every time I hear Patti Smith sing this song. And the choir backing her is just too much! Thank you...
South Africa needs this as a new Anthem!!! to unite the Madiba Nation...again...
LOVE you Patti - from my early dance days :))) Many memories :)))
Ah nikki....YES! ♡ This is a Global message for sure!
Wishing the best for your country as well. Love and Light!
Literally Amandla Awethu. You are right, not just SA though.
Sometimes people are too loud and that is when they're singing TOGETHER with the leader on stage.
Don't forget it..use your voice!
A choral effort to let people express Our voice counts, every single voice counts. Thank you so much Patti for being such an inspiration through generations. Your songs, values, and lyrics resound in our brave hearts.
Makes me cry every time I watch this, over and over. So much power.
Toll, grandios!! This should become the worlds hymn!!!!!
To hear and see this makes me believe that there is a chance to trust in the future!
The world now ist awful and rough!
From William Blake to Patti Smith -- a great visionary tradition!
She is so incredibly gracious and humble. A friend of mine saw her a few years back and had the privilege to go backstage and meet her. There was a small child with my friend maybe 3 or 4 years old, And Patti went over to her, And bent down on her level to speak to her, In her ear, And then she gave her her guitar pick 💜
I don’t know how anyone there kept it together. I’m a wreck. That was amazing.
ditto
I was there by chance (had tickets to a play at the Public that afteroon)- it was an amazing expereince
I'm there with ya!
Brividi ❤
When you just realise you've been missing out for over four years on very possibly one of the best things *ever*...
Wow. She is still soooooo good after all these years!! Her voice isn’t changed at all
if you could see my face right now! this gave me soooo much hope and joy and a big big smile all over my face. thank you SOOOO MUCH everyone for making this happen! it's POWERful!
Me too 👍💜😀👊
This is so wonderful! I have hope!
Exactly.
I'm in tears :') beautiful how music makes you so emotional 🤘🏻🥺
There is no one like her.
I was moved by her.lovely lady.still the same voice.GREAT.
Wow, punk turned into almost church music. I like.
And it's pretty obvious who the happiest person in the room was...
tooday is this song very actually,
Patty Smith is a legend🙏❤
Roberta form Sardinia
Concordo ❤
Great. This song would have to be sung on every demo worldwide and the text printed on posters. With Patti's consent, of course.
Patti for President!
every human is an infinitely unique expression of the love of God
Yes! ♡
That's the truth. Namaste. God bless each of us.
Agree. Especially when humans fight the wars and kill 'emselves and the others, they are unique expressions of this infinite love !
Get real.
This gave me freaking chills! Patti Smith is an icon. Rock on sister!
Love her since the 70s
What a wonderfull human being...PATTI SMITH... FOREVER!!!
Those smiling eyes give me so much to go on..thank you Patti for your art, and bless Choir Choir Choir for this beautiful piece...
Makes me happy a few times each week... Wonderful !
Wow! Forever Patti!!!
A most appropriate anthem for this time.
I love how the conductor is jamming out.
An absolute queen of a vocalist, a drumming powerhouse, and an epic choir in one room. 100/10 ❤️
🤓That was a great cowbell !🐿
Stewart was...underutilized sadly.
Fantastica paty ets la millor una supervivent del movement hipy❤❤❤❤❤❤
Obviamente, com C!C!C! podemos definitivamente provar que "people have the power" - Viva!!
I was dreaming in my dreaming
Of an aspect bright and fair
And my sleeping it was broken
But my dream it lingered near
In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
That the people have the power
To redeem the work of fools
Upon the meek the graces shower
It' s decreed the people rule
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
The people have the power
Vengeful aspects became suspect
And bending low as if to hear
And the armies ceased advancing
Because the people had their ear
And the shepherds and the soldiers
Lay beneath the stars
Exchanging visions
And laying arms
To waste in the dust
In the form of shining valleys
Where the pure air recognized
And my senses newly opened
I awakened to the cry
Where there were deserts
I saw fountains
Like cream the waters rise
And we strolled there together
With none to laugh or criticize
And the leopard
And the lamb
Lay together truly bound
I was hoping in my hoping
To recall what I had found
I was dreaming in my dreaming
God knows a purer view
As I surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you
Where there were deserts
I saw fountains
Like cream the waters rise
And we strolled there together
With none to laugh or criticize
And the leopard
And the lamb
Lay together truly bound
I was hoping in my hoping
To recall what I had found
I was dreaming in my dreaming
God knows a purer view
As I surrender to my sleeping
I commit my dream to you
The power to dream to rule
To wrestle the world from fools
It' s decreed the people rule
It' s decreed the people rule
I believe everything we dream
Can come to pass through our union
We can turn the world around
We can turn the earth' s revolution
We have the power
People have the power
😭😭😭😭😭
Thank you for writing this out...👏

A RELAXING NOSTALGIC EVENING
On the wicker armchair, covered with voluminous cushions, in the courtyard of the park where I am temporarily a guest, I enjoy a bit of relaxation with the warmth of a starry evening at last, in a moment of respite from the weather, of a rather crazy summer even for this side of the equator. I admire the well-kept park and those well-arranged lights that alternate chiaroscuro among the trees, creating a dream atmosphere, alternating songs from my youth, which I always listen to with a lot of nostalgia but also bring me a mixture of sadness for the difficult moments of that time , both emotionally and financially. As always in these cases, I would like to go back and take courage, give me the hope that over time I too would have reached goals and experienced situations, unthinkable at the time. My nephew is chasing the ball not far away and listens to his ear getting closer and closer to my chair. When John Lennon's “Imagine” passes, he leaves the game and sits next to me. As soon as he finishes he tells me ".. come on, grandpa again! ..". I understand that those songs from 50-60 years ago still hit the mark, after 2 generations. To some Cat Steven songs, and Bob Dyilan puts his arm around my neck, and closes his eyes, almost savoring the moment. When I pose Cohen's Alleluia, he seems to want to participate and begins to follow Leonard at each Alleluia, with his shrill voice, even if a couple of notes higher. But as soon as she hears Patti Smith, accompanied by a choir, with her "people have the power" she can't resist anymore and wants to sing with them. He seems to admire Patti's expressions, which seems to bring out from her heart, the poetry of what she is reciting rather than singing. It is a poetic moment for me too, this moment of affection mixed with nostalgia. The miracle is interrupted at the sound of the voice of the mother who, with a peremptory invitation obviously in Russian, reminds him of the duty to go to sleep. A couple of gne gne are not enough, and he knows well that neither her complaint, nor that of her grandfather (who would like not to interrupt that magical moment) will stir up the categorical invitation of the daughter-in-law. Evening to be stored among my good memories. I go to bed calmly, hoping that one day, when I am no longer there, he will resurface too, listening to one of those beautiful songs of ... when his grandfather was young
Après avoir regardé Patti Smith et apprécié sa superbe voix et sa belle énergie, j’ai pris le temps de lire quelques commentaires. Le vôtre, développé, s’est imposé, comme une évidence. J’ai donc pris le temps de le lire et, soudain, cette scène dans ce square, si joliment décrite, s’est déroulée devant mes yeux comme par enchantement. J’y étais. Magie d’un instant!
Vous avez, bien évidemment, Monsieur, un talent pour l’écriture. Merci!...de France🥀
As a Patti Smith and Stewart Copeland fan for over 40 years, this is incredible. Fred is proud.
