Stevie Wonder was 19 on July 20, 1969, when he walked onstage at the Harlem Cultural Festival, an event that would be lost to legend and rumor were it not for Ahmir Questlove Thompson s just-released directorial debut Summer of Soul (. or When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised).

Gaye’s evolution Some of the songs on the album speak directly to the state of the world in the early 1970s. The title track, with its timeless lyric – “war is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate” – condemned the nation’s involvement in Vietnam. But the song provides an insight into the evolution of Gaye’s music to encompass overtly political themes. “What’s Going On” contrasts with his earlier work from the Vietnam War era that presents a different perspective.
