Introduction

In 2019 the film Summer of Soul came out. If you're unfamiliar with this film, it's a documentary of an event, the Harlem Cultural Festival,. It took place in the summer of 1969, overlapping the weekend that Woodstock happened. The performers on those shows are playing in the same kind of circumstances and there really is no comparison. Some of my very favourite artists played at Monterey and Woodstock but the musicians' ship is orders of magnitude better at the Harlem cultural Festival.
