Summer of Soul (on Hulu today)

[Dynamite James]

Imagine going to a festival like this!! All these legendary performers . Another highlight of how black entertainment has deteriorated in current times

 

[Dynamite James]

I hope they release this on video. I need this in my collection

I could watch The Pips dance all day
They were perfect
Don’t focus on Gladys to see what I’m talking about

I do wonder what a whole day of film looks like. I’m thinking most of it was not good or maybe a lot of local Harlem acts no one knows and Quest just pulled the performances of the known acts.

Bruh...bruh....I barely even noticed Gladys. I was like "ooh young gladys was thick " when they 1st walked out but after that I forgot she even existed. Them Pips were the definition of coordinated perfection I was entranced.
Those brothas were something else

Watching now, dope thus far. David Ruffin came on and reminded me of how amazing it is to have artists who can actually sing. Man was up there sounding like the record whilst riffing on the fly

He made me die laughing cause I told the chick I was watching with "you know that nikka high as fukk. He out there in the middle of Harlem summer with a fur lined jacket on"

But his vocal range and how he switched it up instantaneously
These were special performers back then.

 

[Ol’Otis]

Rose Stone


Sly and The Fam

 

[Jean toomer]

Exceptionally well done. As much a political piece as well as musical. The power of Nina Simone…my god!
Questlove

important work.

Are you ready, Black people?

Saw it twice. Beautiful movie.

Might want to peep a soul concert called "save the children" for more Gladys and the pips. They get down there too.

Edit

Enjoying this:

The Chambers Brother and the piece that was done over their music was priceless




Really wish I was there. Black people looked so beautiful
