Directed by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson is a documentary about the Harlem Culture Festival that took place over six weeks in the summer of 1969. The footage was shopped around but nobody wanted anything to do with it and it sat in a basement until now. I watched it with tears in my eyes, how could so much great music be forgotten for so long.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
I understand that guy in a picture I saw with Laura, some King guy?, is in it.
Not to mention innumerable other heroes.
Questlove is a genius on many levels.
Have a LOT of respect for his knowledge, talents, and mind frame.
Wouldn't mind spending some time with his record collection either!
XOXOXO to youse!

Funny when you think of it, Sly was probably the only act that also played Woodstock that same summer. The interviews with some of the performers as they watched their younger selves perform and the recollections of some of the people that attended as children and young adults was brilliant and moving.
I think he is up to about 185000 I met him once at a gig I catered, very nice guy.

I dropped by to visit my 77YO friend that has a garage sale every week.Lots of things I hardly look at, I go to visit with him almost every week.
Today I randomly looked through a small crate of $2 LPs (mostly yuck) BUT
... a copy of Sonny Sharrock's "Sieze the Rainbow"! Tell Rick he can easily
get $10 for it. He has no idea who SS is. Proceed to tell him about being in a
band years ago and we had a "gig" one night at a dive on 5th St the same night
SS isplaying Slim's. I agree we do the gig but OPEN so we can get the fuck out of
there EARLY so I can see SS (because that was far more important than... the
gig. At the Dive Bar. On 5th St.)See SS (for the first time). Completely blows my mind. While mind is being blown
look over to see Carlos Santana a couple feet away. Obviously HIS mind was equally
blown. Soon thereafter Carlito copped some SS licks and named a tune after him.
VERY cool.My friend Rick is laughing as I tell him this story. Carlos had played a benefit for Rick's
son many moons ago when he was a baby that needed an organ transplant, so there
was... yeah, a thin... connection.Anyway, intense good memories of Sonny Sharrock and a fun night earlier today.
Then I watched Summer of Soul an hour ago!
SS looked good in yellow! Who knew?
The Vibe goes on...
GREAT doc on a great thing in Harlem. Of where there have been many great things
and it's a great thing this has seen the light of day. Finally.People watching this footage for the first time, having been there, having played there.
Beautiful!
Stevie Wonder and Jerry Jemmott???? YIKES!!!!
Mahalia Jackson can STILL give me goosebumps!!!!!!!!!!!
GO Questlove!
