    SUMMER OF SOUL

    A Definite Must See if you Appreciate and LuV Good 'Ole Soul Music. A must see for another reason is "Quest Love" the Music Picasso of Drums for the band "The Roots" outta Philadelphia,Pa. They appear nightly on the "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" on NBC. QUEST LOVE produced this film. Rumor has it the he and some helpers where cleaning out an old basement in Philly when "Quest" found a whole boxes of VHS Tapes, cassettes etc. What was on the tapes blew all Soul Music Lovers away! Back in the day when Woodstock days where going on, the black communities of Philly were and did put their own Woodstock Concert on right there in the inner city! From the sounds and smiles and Dynamic Talent a Good ' Ole Time ' was had by ALL. "Quest Love" did say there is a bunch more footage to be gone through and possible repairs to some of the tapes visuals & audio. I myself can Not wait for the New Concert Material Stories of how no matter what feelings folks feel good or bad like it or not We All Still Bleed Red and Music is STILL and Will Always Be the World's Universal Language! So folks, pop some corn and invite some good ole friends and new ones and rent this DVD or purchase it from Best Buy as I did.I promise, You will Not be Disappointed. If anything you'll be waitin' on the New DVD to drop! Happy Listening Folks! ✌️ FYI, I wanted to give this film and Best Buy 5 Stars but my darn device is acting Crazy again and usual!

    Exhilarating

    I really enjoyed this movie. I was unaware this concert had happened in 1969, though I was aware of Woodstock. But I was 21 and living in Washington, DC and was aware that black music was reshaping the American cultural scene. I especially enjoyed seeing Gladys Knight, Stevie Wonder and Sly and the Family Stone perform. It was music I was into at the time. And to see the excitement of the audience. It was all so exhilarating, and to think that it took place so long ago and is only coming to light now. Wow.

    Great Music Documentary

    I had heard great reviews from friends about Summer of Soul and then it won Best Documentary Film at the Academy Awards this year 2022! I had to see it and I'm very happy I can watch this with friends over and over again! I love the music and going down memory lane. Times have changed; however, great music always lifts my spirits and classic songs have staying power!
