What's NEW in the Archive
SOUL STREET!
 | Soul Street
(Click to PLAY) |
The success of Don Cornelius' African American dance party show Soul Train spawned several local imitators. Washington D.C.'s Ebony Affair (1971-1973) was one and Cincinnati had its own; Soul Street!. Hosted by Kenny Smith, Soul Street! survived two seasons and presented performances and interviews with African American artists such as James Brown, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Bill Doggett, Carla Thomas, Roberta Flack, The Stylistics, Millie Jackson and many others. Historic Films is proud to offer licensing from this important musical program and has recently restored all of the surviving episodes.

Rare performances by Judy Collins, Johnny Cash, Theodore Bikel, The New Christy Minstrels, Marion Williams and the Stars of Faith and many others all pulled from the surviving kinescopes of the legendary Hootenanny! television program (1962-1964). These performances will be featured in this one hour pledge special for WNET which will air on selected PBS stations.
