Thanks Gary
how could something so simple.. something i have heard a million times,,, make me cry??? it is so beautiful when we really pull together… if we can do it for a song we can do it… why don’t we????
I love this video!! I just hope this feeling of hope and unity lasts because we really need each other.
paisley, You are right on!! I don’t see skin color, I don’t see nationalities, I don’t see different religions, I only see people.
All do not agree but that is personalities, in all shapes and forms.
It’s Our World and We Have To Make It Better.
If we don’t, what have we to leave our kids??
Stop Bitchn’ and start doing.
I hate that f***ing song so much…
I LOVED this…
Thanks Gary!
Welcome….and thanks Jonco for posting it.
It was amazingly moving to me, so far i’ve seen it three times,
and I still like it
I haven’t seen a video on B&P yet that wasn’t worth the watch…
Very cool!
Yeah, I can diggit.
yeah, right.
Truly wonderful.
Once again, Gary comes thru with a great song! Thank You. Keep them coming. I listen to songza and read B & P and drift away.
lets all get on that peace train
That is cool! Great concept!
Good news everybody! I can now do that cave man boogie from the video yesterday ,maybe Ill try it on the dance floor
You’ll have to send in a video of that one, infidel
genius!!
merging music and vocals from different artist, different locations, different point time…genius!
I have to agree with paisley…if this doesn’t bring a tear to your eye you are either completely lacking in humanity or you’re Dick Cheney….oh, sort of the same thing, isn’t it.
Here’s a youtube link to a wonderful song by Ruben Blades in Panama…in a similar vein

That was incredibly excellent….I love how they blended all this amazing synergy and produced this stunning piece of musical art.
This is by far the best Youtube video yet!
I just watched it for the fifth time, this time full screen and wow it just gets better, the sax is a real nice touch.
Big salute to whoever came up with this idea.
