What Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) is

Woodstock without the myth, Harlem’s 1969 festival with every note intact. A treasure trove of Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, and Mahalia Jackson playing for a people and a moment. Questlove lets the sun-drenched performances speak, fifty years late but perfectly timed.
