  3. On April 4 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on the eve of a peaceful march. On the 40th anniversary of this tragic event, we present “Down To Earth”, a short-film documentary about the magical relationship that flourished between the civil rights movement and soul music in the 60s, when the black community fought for equal rights in a country that still lived under racial segregation. A fascinating story told in first person by some famous musicians and local celebrities in Memphis, like the Rev. Samuel Billy Kyles (civil rights activist), Deanie Parker (Stax Records), David Porter (Stax composer and musician), Willie Mitchell (Hi Records president and Grammy Trustee Award 2008) and Zelma Redding (Otis Redding wife). “Down To Earth” also talks about the legacy of that convulsive era due to the participation of anonymous characters and young musicians who have been interviewed in some of the most famous barber shops in Memphis. It is the sincere vision of a generation that did not live directly those days of struggle, but it has inherited his ideals and continues to enjoy its music. A unique glimpse at a key period in the history of the United States that is impossible to understand without its soundtrack. Country: Spain Year of production: 2008 Running time: 27 minutes Language: English Written & directed by David Moreu Photography: David Moreu & Nuria Andrés Edition: Carlos Padilla Sound: Nuria Andrés Audio mixer: Marcos Casademunt Producer: David Moreu Archive images: Prelinger Archives & The Stax Museum of American Soul Music "Down To Earth" was first screened at the Stax Museum of American Soul Music (Memphis), it has been awarded with the best documentary prize at the Baumann Festival 2009 and it has been screened at MECAL 2009, CINESTRAT 2009, Islantilla Cineforum 2009 and Black Music & Films 2009.

  13. Nina Simone Live at Ronnie Scott's 56:38 This video features Nina Simone (vocals, piano) delivering an intense emotional performance at the legendary Ronnie Scott's in Soho, London on November 17, 1985. Simone is considered to be one of the most diverse singers of the 20th century, recording material in multiple genres including soul, jazz, pop, blues, gospel, and Broadway. Most often labeled a "soul" singer due to her emotional performing tendencies, Simone is an eclectic musician, who adds a soulful mystique to whatever material she interprets. This brilliant performance at Ronnie Scott's is testament to this fact.

Going solo in 1970, he released a string of superlative and influential records including "Roots", "Back to the World", and the legendary "Superfly" sound track.
  15. Remember Marvin Gaye France DURÉE: 55 MIN Documentaire (Jazz) - 2001 Belgique 20h45 JEUDI 11 JANVIER Dernière diffusion : vendredi 12 janvier France Ô 16h15 Réalisateur : Richard Olivier http://www.olivier-films.be/fr/filmographie/formats-courts/marvin-gaye-transit-ostende.html Résumé : Fils d'un pasteur pentecôtiste, Marvin Gaye est né à Washington le 2 avril 1939.

On sait que l'enfant terrible de la soul passa deux ans à Ostende au début des années 80. C'est à cette époque que le réalisateur Richard Olivier le rencontra, pour signer un documentaire devenu culte : «Marvin Gaye Transit Ostende». Vingt ans plus tard, Olivier est reparti sur les traces de l'artiste, dans cette ville où, mine de rien, il eut le temps de laisser son empreinte et de nouer de solides amitiés. Documentary into making of "Transit Ostend", Marvin Gaye's 1981 documentary prior to the beginning of his two-day Belgium tour that year and documenting the final three years of his life. Directed by Richard Olivier.
