There were two big music festivals happening in the summer of 1969.
While one defined an entire generation of culture and music... the
other remained obscure — the only recorded footage placed in a
basement that was said to have sat, unpublished, for decades. That
is, until Questlove's first documentary Summer of Soul came out
last year. In this episode, Sam chats with Questlove about the
recent release of the film's soundtrack, the long history of Black
erasure, and the memorable performances from the likes of The 5th
Dimension, Stevie Wonder (playing the drums!), Mavis Staples,
Mahalia Jackson, and Nina Simone.
