he brought it live and then some

Al was a KILLER in the 70s. i wish i could have caught him in his prime.

My boy saw him live recently and said he still got it.

he though was victim of time because Stevie,Marvin,Sly,Barry were part of that era along with Curtis and a few others.

in almost any other era he would stood alone or a strong 1 A

that entire era stands up to the test of time.

is sickening period. you gotta co Sign on each other because as if one person can't speak for themselves? warren is a big boy he don't need you to run behind him to hold his hand?

i still say Al Green didn't get it all out of him as a Artist during his Prime and Peak.

it could have been even more IMO and I look at his situation like Little Richard's he went gospel right when he was unstoppable.

interesting i never get a Parrot behind my posts though I wonder why?

WTH, where the link for the ep go on there site, at least at this time on my pc? hope it's just me, because if it's live 70's Al, maannnn...
i'm still trying find this live boot I saw on a foreign site sometime back that listed a 70's soundboard, and I'm damn shol' waiting on something official from the 70's live.

it shows in Google chrome for sure (and btw the real player download link works on the video so you can download it)

Word, thanks Coolidge, for the explanation and the link.

of Soul!.... and early performance by Earth Wind and Fire.... the Main Ingrediant ripped their episode...Black Ivory is on another.... Ashford and Simpson...

also just recently added with the Al Green episode is the last episode of the show where they look back over the years...

there are a few great episodes of Soul that aren't up on the site...just to name a couple would be

Harold Melvin and the Blue nots...with a permed out Teddy P.

Stevie Wonder

"Shades of Soul"

I'm dying at how young Hector Lavoe is in this shit.





http://twitter.com/collazo

peeping it now....It's cold.

you know when this site first came up I became so focused on figuring out how to download the video and burn it to DVD..particularly the Earth wind and fire, and New Birth shows.... that I really forgot to check out the rest of the shows...

but man..there is so much in these episodes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vfq2RKKY0ZQ

mp3s http://www2.zshares.net/eyqa69yjh7i9

wtf?

it's interesting to me how the show was produced with a very purposeful sophistication... I mean the crowd isn't dancing or whopping and doing the call and response you would see and hear on soul train...

I'd be interested to hear Mr. Haslip's reasoning behind presenting his show in that way... I'm sure part of it was to distinguish itself from other shows...but what cool about this is that Soul! is super cool...and hip...yet presented in a real artistic manner. Lot's of people dismiss the idea of Black music being presented as art as if doing so takes away something important from the music....but in this format you can see it's really really powerful....particularly with the variety of artists and music that they presented....from jazz..blues...poetry...soul...funk...

but then also look at the audience at the Al Green show...there is a shot where you can see this young girl sitting in the front row.....a child really....then other angles where you see older women ..just people of all ages really... Al gave a more reserved type of performance than he gave on Soul train...but it was honestly just as powerful..maybe even more so.

One interesting tidbit about this show is that actress Anna Marie Horsford (of Amen and Wayans Brothers fame)was one of its producers and appears on the show's final episode: http://www.thirteen.org/soul/september-7-1969/#.UboImf7D9jp

http://blogs.indiewire.com/shadowandact/livestream-mr-soul-ellis-haizlip-the-birth-of-black-power-tv-kickstarter-launch-party-tonight

As Tambay posted on Friday, Samuel Pollard and Melissa Hazlip have teamed up to direct a new feature-length documentary on Ellis Haizlip, host and producer of PBS’ groundbreaking 1970s talk show series, SOUL!. The film will give a behind-the-scenes look at the show from its conception to its final broadcast, including the very public battle to keep it on the air despite a shifting political landscape.

Today signals the start of the project’s Kickstarter campaign to raise $75,000 towards principal photography. The film is in the early stages of production with roughly 30 hours of footage shot, including interviews with Ashford & Simpson, Harry Belafonte, Abiodun Oyewole and Umar Bin Hassan of The Last Poets, and Novella Nelson. The filmmakers hope to finish the film by 2013, with an eye towards PBS broadcast and theatrical distribution.

Mr. SOUL! is produced by Melissa Haizlip and Airrion Copeland and edited by Jason Pollard, with narration by Keith David. Award-winning cinematographer Bradford Young has also joined the team as director of photography.

Haizlip had this to say regarding the artistic style of Mr. SOUL!:

We want the film to honor - if not surpass - the vibrant, edgy style of the original SOUL! series. In order to bring SOUL! to the Millennium and make history relevant, the film has to be as visually dynamic as each episode of SOUL! We're honored to collaborate with cinematographer Bradford Young. His shots are masterful and visually compelling - I don't think I've never seen black people filmed more beautifully. There's so much intention in every frame-- we're thrilled for him to bring his photographic sensibilities to the table.

The fundraising campaign kicks off with a launch party tonight at the National Black Programming Consortium in Harlem with special guests including singer Melba Moore and Dr. Loretta Long (Sesame Street), original guests on SOUL!

Find more information about the launch party HERE, and for those outside New York, you can livestream the party from BlackPublicMedia.org or NBPC’s Facebook page, beginning at 7:30pm Eastern.

Current Status of Soul! Episodes:

We will be digitizing as many of these episodes as we can, posting them to this site. However, a number of the shows on this list currently have the status of “lost”. We’re hoping that tapes of some of them will surface as the result of this endeavor of putting the show online. If you have tapes of any of these episodes, let us know.

(The information within this section was gathered by archivist Winter Shanck from old 13/WNET/NET Program Guides, WNDT and WNET Annual Reports, and The New York Times TV Listings.)

* unconfirmed guest or affiliation

They will make a killing releasing these. I hope all the episodes are found and they can do season box sets.
