Summer of Soul
I’d heard rumours of this film via the Soul-Source blog, in 1969 there was a series of soul music concerts over a period of six weekends in NY City, everyone who mattered was in attendance, this people was the biggest ever happening ever, from the same year as the Woodstock festival happened there was probably the greatest ever line up of black artists performing a free concert in a park, in Harlem. I had to travel to see this film, a mid-week showing, there were twelve, [count them] other people in the cinema, but, for one hour and fifty seven minutes I was lost, tears ran down my face and I had to wait to exit because I was stunned by what I’d witnessed……..
