    • Trivia
      This is not a movie. This was an event. Even if this was a movie, there's no way that Questlove would have been able to direct it as he would not be born for another two years, but again, that doesn't matter because this is not a movie. Questlove did, however, direct a documentary ABOUT the event titled Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (2021).

    All the greats! A time capsule.

    Sly , Nina Simone, all awesome.

    Perfect for me to view in The Capri Art Theater in Montgomery, Alabama. To see the stars so young! Awesome.
