Filmography
1971 - Soul to Soul
On March 6, 1971, some of the greatest artists in popular music history traveled from the United States to Ghana, West Africa, to take part in a 14-hour musical celebration, Soul To Soul. Over 100,000 enthusiastic locals gathered for this unique cultural exchange between two continents. This award-winning film combines classic concert performances with scenes documenting the artists getting in touch with their roots as they return to the cultural motherland.
The show was held in Black Star Square (now Independence Square) on the Gulf of Guinea.
The concert was filmed and released in August 1971. It featured extensive excerpts from the concert performances, along with documentary footage of the musicians interacting with local Ghanaians in the days before the show.
Tina sings: “Soul to soul”, “River deep, mountain high”, “Ooh Poo Pah Doo” and “I Smell Trouble”.
