This episode brings back our hero, the voice that started our first ever Song Around The World, “Stand By Me”, many years ago on the streets in Santa Monica, CA. Roger Ridley inspired us from the very beginning, and his music continues to inspire as we share this with you 9 years and 95 Episodes later.
“When I first met Roger, I had no idea we would collaborate on something that would reach so many people and help them feel more connected as a human race. Today we are growing the PFC family all over the world and thanks to Roger, all of you, and music everywhere, we can see that if we stand by each other everything is going to be alright. Turn up this classic medley of “Tears on My Pillow” and “You Send Me,” the final PFC video featuring Roger Ridley, and for a moment find peace in your heart and in your world. Music is the Key.
RIP Roger, we LOVE you and your music shines as bright as the sun.
