Some of the best clips of rock'n'roll performers are to be found on Shindig and this edition, "Shindig! Presents: Soul" is chock full of great perfomances by James Brown, Joe Tex, Booker T & the MGs, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, Major Lance, and a see-it-to-believe it duet by Tina Turner and Marvin Gaye. So good, they really need a 2nd edition of this! Actually, a 2nd edition of the whole Shindig! series is a must!

This is an excellent video all the way through. However there is something very rare and seldom seen on it. This tape has a long lost duet between Marvin Gaye and Tina Turner. The performance is one of the best I ever seen by both performers. Plus there are things to be seen by Tina and Marvin.You can see Tina do A Fool In Love and Marvin do Hitch Hike. Not to mention that you can see the early Aretha Franklin before she became the Queen Of Soul, also the Godfather of Soul James Brown's raw dancining skills at work. Overall the duet between Marvin and Tina was the perfect climax to Shindig Soul video. A true lover of early Soul/R&B music, Marvin Gaye and Tina Turner wouldn't be disappointed by purchasing this tape. I highly endorse it.

Surprisingly, Shindig put on quite a show. Some perfomances I had no idea were out there, Joe Tex and Major Lance were a find. Thank you, Shindig. And the milk commercial was a scream.

This Video Blows The Mind.this is a GOlden Time in Soul Music.So Many Great Talents.This is What Soul Music Used To Be About Great Talent&Full Of Fantastic Performances.
