Playing for Change Music

This 1964 Sam Cooke song, A Change Is Gonna Come has been covered by more than 40 notable singers/bands. Here, give a listen to Grandpa Elliot and Clarence Bekker. I think you're in for a treat.



Mystery Train, written by Sam Phillips and Junior Parker in 1953, has also been covered by more than 30 well-known singers, most notably Elvis Presley in 1955. Listen here to Washboard Chazz and Robert Luti do it their way.
