Fascinating version. Love how everyone comes together-- the children, the well-known artists. I grew up on the original -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUUhDoCx8zc

I hope we've come a long way, baby.

Another neat video! Thanks for that link! (And yeah, when it feels like we’ve got such a long way to go, it’s good to zoom out and see how far we’ve come.)

I woke up grumpy and this made me smile and move. I had to come back and watch it again. When this song came out, I loved it and "taped" it from the radio. I had a project to do for "social studies" and I made a collage of people from everywhere. (Life, National Geographic, etc.) I set it up, put my tape player next to it and played it the whole class. I got an A. Loved seeing the participants in this one. The famous ones and the now famous ones.

Smiling at this. All of it. Would have loved your collage, I’m sure. And yes, it’s great how Playing for Change mixes people up, in all sorts of ways—and often gets us MOVING!
