Funk legend Sly Stone disappeared from the limelight for more than 20 years. Musicians and the media tried to find the recluse but failed. In 2005 Willem Alkema started searching for Sly. Sly didn't want to be found or filmed, but Willem didn't give up and finally followed Sly in his first steps on stage in decades.

The Harlem Cultural Festival of that year, which would come to be known as “Black Woodstock,” had, on its surface, little in common with the upstate hootenanny. Held in Harlem at Mount Morris (what is now Marcus Garvey) Park, it was a self-consciously urban affair, a concert series rather than a one-off, and already in its third year.

This is part of a series from German TV WDR which is taking out of the vaults some historical films, notably from a program called "Swing In". This performance is from the September 1970 European Tour.

On a fateful San Francisco night in the early 60s, Condor nightclub performer Carol Doda was lowered to the stage on a floating piano, topless. Word spread quickly, setting off a wave of controversy and delight, with raids soon to follow. There was even a trial for the new celebrity. Doda’s dry wit and charisma made her an instant sensation of the night club scene: an empowered woman in full control. Or so it seemed.

One man's search for the prolific funk legend, Sly Stone.

Une conversation intimiste entre Prince et Mel B, à Paisley Park, traitant de ses inspirations, la liberté et ses influences. Suivi d'un concert au Café de Paris à Londres, le 28 août 1998, avec la participation de Chaka Khan et Doug E Fresh.

Le plus important rassemblement de la musique pop de ces vingt dernières années. Des groupes qui ont marqué leur époque et une jeunesse qui a marqué la sienne. Un regard intime sur le Woodstock Music & Art Festival qui s'est tenu à Bethel, New York en 1969, de la préparation aux nettoyages, avec un accès historique aux initiés, des images de concerts époustouflantes et des portraits des spectateurs ; des aspects négatifs et positifs sont montrés: depuis la consommation de drogue par les artistes jusqu'aux fans nus glissant dans la boue, de l'effondrement des clôtures par des hordes inattendues jusqu'à l'arrivée surréaliste d'hélicoptères de la Garde nationale avec de la nourriture et une assistance médicale pour la ville impromptue de 500 000 habitants.

Today is a daily American morning television show that airs on NBC. The program debuted on January 14, 1952. It was the first of its genre on American television and in the world, and is the fifth-longest running American television series. Originally a two-hour program on weekdays, it expanded to Sundays in 1987 and Saturdays in 1992. The weekday broadcast expanded to three hours in 2000, and to four hours in 2007. Today's dominance was virtually unchallenged by the other networks until the late 1980s, when it was overtaken by ABC's Good Morning America. Today retook the Nielsen ratings lead the week of December 11, 1995, and held onto that position for 852 consecutive weeks until the week of April 9, 2012, when it was beaten by Good Morning America yet again. In 2002, Today was ranked #17 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest Television Shows of All Time.
