Talk:Harlem Cultural Festival

Details for clarity
I added small details for clarity, and additional facts as found in the sources already cited in the entry. I also edited a little for grammar (removal of passive voice) and to clarify dates (as this particular article talks only about the 1969 concert series). I deleted a sentence that had no citation (and no basis in fact that I have been able to find up to this point). 128.237.246.225 (talk) 19:50, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

Can we assemble a schedule of performances?
Does anybody have a source for a complete list of performers in order of appearance? It would be fantastic to get something like that together. The scheduled appearances listed on the little poster are not at all complete. Sly and the Family Stone are missing because they were late additions. Comedians Pigmeat Markham and Moms Mabley are missing. Binksternet (talk) 02:31, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
 * We need at least the date of appearance for the following artists:
 * Sly and the Family Stone
 * Moms Mabley
 * Pigmeat Markham
 * The Chambers Brothers
 * It would be interesting to fill in some names in the backing groups, too. For instance, Sonny Sharrock is seen grimacing at the guitar while backing Herbie Mann. A young Luther Vandross sang with a large group called Listen My Brother, according to Rock & Roll Globe. Listen My Brother was a revue act at the Apollo Theatre, and shortly after the Harlem Festival, they taped the first episode of Sesame Street, using much the same video crew.

Festivals in other years
I've recently expanded the article about Tony Lawrence. A couple of the sources for that article - especially this, and also this - make it quite clear that the 1969 festival was preceded by other Harlem Cultural Festivals in 1966, 1967, and 1968, and there were later (less successful) ones in the early 1970s. So, this article (given its current title) should contain mention of those as well. I intend to transfer some of the material and sources from the Tony Lawrence article into this one, to cover that. Any thoughts? Ghmyrtle (talk) 21:13, 1 January 2022 (UTC) PS: In the absence of any comments, I've made a few edits along the lines I suggested - and also created a brief article on Hal Tulchin.
