Editorial Reviews

SUMMER OF SOUL (…Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack accompanies Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s directorial debut documentary SUMMER OF SOUL, which won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival. Like the documentary, most of the audio recordings that were recorded during the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival have not been heard for over 50 years, keeping this incredible event in America’s history lost – until now. The SUMMER OF SOUL (…Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised) Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is a joyous musical celebration and the rediscovery of a nearly erased historical event that celebrated Black culture, pride and unity. For the album, Questlove carefully selected 16 live renditions of jazz, blues, R&B, Latin, and soul classics performed over the course of The Harlem Cultural Festival in 1969 as chronicled by the film. Performers include The 5th Dimension, B.B. King, Nina Simone, and Sly & The Family Stone!

Talk about making A Joyful Noise…

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2022

This is one of those records you have to turn a deaf ear to the mix and listen to the great performances. Multitrack audio recordings of the festival probably do not exist so it can’t be given a proper mix, but my god are the vocals great. David Ruffin alone is worth the cost of the record. And there’s plenty more where that came from. Very few people can sing like this nowadays so we are fortunate to have this document.

Six Weekends of Peace, Love and Understanding

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2022

Verified Purchase

A very fine musical reflection that summarizes the cultural and political changes that took place for six weeks during the summer of 1969. In terms of the vibes of love and respect, the "Summer of Soul" soundtrack is in an even heat (pun quite intended) with the Woodstock audience that same summer. It's in the music, however, in which the music played at Mt. Morris Park in Brooklyn, trounces the music performed in Bethel, NY.

Until I heard this, I used to regard "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" as a single that was superficial glitz. How wrong one can be. In this raw version, the Fifth Dimension rocks and when Billy Davis Jr. brings his gospel roots to its coda, he sings with the best of them. Gladys Knight, with her gospel grit on "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", proves she can't be outdone as a live singer. Herbie Mann's combo reworks Sam and Dave's "Hold On, I'm Comin'" into a mesmerizing jazz groove. Check out Sonny Sharrock's guitar on that one. Nina Simone's "Backlash Blue" finds her singing for her life and for many others. And a couple of Latin groups I was unaware of fit right in.

Unsurprisingly, Sly and the Family Stone and his band of no racial or gender boundaries is a major highlight. The political sensibilities in "Everyday People" gets to be heard in the open air and you can dance to the funk of its 45RPM flipside, "Sing a Simple Song". Yes, I'm really that old. They hold up like it's yesterday. Finally, prepare yourself to get misty-eyed when you hear the duet with Mahalia Jackson and Mavis Staples, "Precious Lord Take My Hand". Such is the power of great music, it makes you believe.

Due to Aamir Questlove's dedication to this project, history has now been righted. If only I'd been a little older and 100 miles closer...

'Great Soundtrack With Great Classic Songs From The 1960's!'

Reviewed in Canada on May 27, 2023

Verified Purchase

'Uptown' by The Chambers Brothers is a good song with good beats and good vocals by the band; 'Why I Sing The Blues' by singer/songwriter/musician B. B. King is another good song with good beats and great vocals by B. B. King; 'Don't Cha Hear Me Callin' To Ya' by the 5th Dimension is a very good song with great vocals by the group; 'Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In (The Flesh Failures) by The 5th Dimension is another good song with good beats and great vocals by the group; 'My Girl' by former Temptations singer David Ruffin is a good song with good beats and good vocals by David Ruffin (he sang some other songs which lasted a long time!); 'Oh Happy Day' by The Edwin Hawkins Singers is a beautiful Gospel song with great beats and great vocals by the group; 'It's Been A Change' by The Staple Singers is another beautiful song with great beats and great vocals by the group (the song is about the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's); 'Precious Lord, Take My Hand' by The Operation Bread Basket Orchestra & Choir Featuring Mahalia Jackson and Mavis Staples is another beautiful Gospel song with a beautiful melody and beautiful vocals by the group; both 'the Queen of Gospel' singer Mahalia Jackson and Mavis Staples were practically 'competing' with each other trying to out-sing each other! No contest! Both Mahalia and Mavis were both great singing and they sure did sing the Gospel song beautifully! WOW! I was impressed by the ladies! 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' by Gladys Knight & The Pips is a good song with great vocals by the group (I like singer Marvin Gaye's version of the song better!); 'Watermelon Man' by Mongo Santamaria is a song by Jazz musician Herbie Hancock and Mongo Santamaria's version is good with good beats and good playing of the bongos (good song to dance to); 'Together' by Ray Barretto is a good song with good beats and good vocals by Ray Barretto; 'Hold On, I'm Comin' by flautist musician Herbie Mann is a cover song by R&B duo Sam and Dave and musician Herbie Mann's version is nice with a nice melody and nice flute playing by Herbie Mann; 'Sing A Simple Song' by Sly & The Family Stone is a great song with great beats and great vocals by the band; 'Everyday People' by Sly & The Family Stone is another great song with great beats and great vocals by the band (my favorite song about race relations); 'Backlash Blues' by singer/songwriter/musician Nina Simone is a good song about race relations; good beats and great vocals by Nina Simone; 'Are You Ready' is another good song by Nina Simone with great beats and great vocals by Nina Simone and once again, the song is about race relations. REST IN POWER to the following singers/songwriters/musicians: Mr. George Chambers; Mr. Brian Edmund Peter Keenan (January 28, 1943-October 5, 1985); Mr. Ronald Townson (January 29, 1933-August 2, 2001); Mr. Lou Courtney (August 15, 1943-June 25, 2001); Ms. Cynthia Robinson (January 12, 1944-November 23, 2015); Mr. B.
