Description
The words of the song "One Love" might be familiar to most listeners, but the singers on Mark Johnson's version probably aren't. They're mostly unknown musicians from all across the world.
They can all be heard on a new CD and DVD called "Playing for Change: Peace Through Music." The project is the brainchild of music producer, Mark Johnson. Johnson, who produced and directed the project, joins our show from Los Angeles to tell us about his decade-long journey around the world.
"Playing for Change" is currently being distributed through Starbucks.
