Summer of Soul Film Monday Ch 4
Summer of Soul In summer 1969, about the same time as Woodstock was grabbing all the headlines, the Harlem cultural festival took place in New York, featuring a gobsmackingly great lineup of Black musical talent. Questlove has assembled hours of footage of the long-neglected event into an astonishing documentary. Stevie Wonder, the Staple Singers, Mahalia Jackson, Sly and the Family Stone, the force of nature that was Nina Simone are a few of the stars giving their all in front of a packed family crowd. Context is given by performers and audience members, but the music does the job all by itself. Monday 16 October, 10pm, Channel 4
