Lyrics
Summer of Soul
Oh there was Stevie Wonder
And there was Sly and the Family Stone
There was a revolution
In sixty nine at the summer of soul
Black became beautiful in Harlem
Back when they were dancing in the Sunday sunshine, yeah
They saw the 5th Dimension
And B.B. King and Nina Simone
It was a revelation
Down at the park at the summer of soul
Black became beautiful in Harlem
Back when they were dancing in the Sunday sunshine, yeah
They took their taxes and went to the moon
And left their babies with empty spoons
Mahalia Jackson, she begged the lord
To save them all and lead them on
Well they put up their peace signs
And Sly, he took them higher
He said let’s all get groovy
And let me take you higher
Black became beautiful in Harlem
Back when they were dancing in the Sunday sunshine, yeah
There was a summer of soul
