If you’re looking for a smooth way to welcome this Friday, then try a little Nina Simone, circa 1969 from the Harlem Music Festival. Colloquially known as “The Black Woodstock”, it featured the greats of B.B.King, Sly & The Family Stone, and of course, Nina herself. The festival organizer could not sell the footage domestically as a concert film nearly 40 years ago. But filmmakers Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon plan to give it another shot. Thanks Kate!
