Monday Music - Aloe Blacc Needs a Dollar

Aloe Blacc and this video delight me in so many ways. It's a great song, this is an amazing arrangement and performance, and he's a very interesting guy.  After hearing him interviewed on BBC News, I wanted to learn more about him, his music, and his humanitarian projects. He's got a great voice and big heart. It's wonderful to see him harnessing the power of a hit song to make a real difference in the world.

His song, "I Need a Dollar" has become a vehicle for him to spread awareness and mobilize resources to fight malaria around the world. You can read more about him on the Impatient Optimist page on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation website.  Click Here.
