Whose watching this? I had seen pictures of that concert over the years and even clips. Never thought it would come out. It's a passion project of Quest's

All I could think of when watching this was how many other great performances have been lost in time.

This was really dope. The renditions of some of the tracks played at the Harlem Soul Festival, Nina Simone being my standout, were so lovely. Thought the editing was the biggest highlight of it all with everything just feeling so….balanced. It was never overwhelming and I feel like other docs have that problem. Chills…absolute CHILLS with that ending.

A Questlove Jawn - Homie better keep that.

It's straight up beautiful. Just the sea of black folks coming together peacefully and loving one another. Black pride film on 100

I wish it was longer. Felt like they left a lot on the cutting room floor. Wish they would have gone a little more in depth of how they really got it to all pop off but other than that it was great.
Shoulda been either an hour longer or a minidocuseries IMO.

But amazing beautiful doc. Every black person should see this to show what we once were.

saw it yesterday

the 60s were crazy

watching stevie play was amazing

nina simone was amazing

I liked the stuff in between like changing the word negro in the papers, and dude not caring about the moon landing

the doc was very dope

 

[Bigbigguy]

watching it now I love how well this was put together

the interviews and music flow so well together

 

[Optimus Prime]

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.

Currently watching now

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
