Soul ! (the t.v. show) 1963 - 1978

Soul !

This entertainment-variety-talk show was not only a vehicle to promote African-American artistry, community and culture, but also a platform for political expression and the fight for social justice.
It showcased classic live musical performances from funk, soul, jazz, and world musicians, and had in-depth, extraordinary interviews with political, sports, literary figures and more.
It was the first program on WNET (New York Public Television) to be recorded with the then-new technology of videotape, and most of the shows were recorded in real-time—not live, but unedited. Soul ran from 1968 to 1973.
