powerful, joyful tribute - Sunday Best is a must-watch

Sunday Best is more than a music doc. It's a celebration of talent, resilience, and cultural history. It shines a light on how Ed Sullivan gave Black performers a national stage at a time when so few others did. The archival footage is incredible and the stories are deeply moving. It's beautifully done, thoughtfully edited, and full of heart. You walk away feeling both heartbroken by what these artists endured and grateful that their voices were seen and heard. The performances give you chills. The interviews and context stay with you. This film honors the past while making it feel urgent and alive. I honestly can't recommend it enough.

The quiet humanitarian...

How television's first presenter, Ed Sullivan, changed the very fabric of the USA by having Black musicians appear on his high rating show, opening doors nationwide for these artists during a time of segregation and injustice. There are great performances from James Brown, The Supremes, Jackie Wilson, plus a very young, Stevie Wonder, and even a much younger Michael Jackson with his older siblings. Every great music artist from the fifties and sixties made an impact on one of the greatest variety show. A well structured and uplifting documentary on an influential humanitarian who saw all humans as equal, and never took a step back...

Not For Me

Ed's history was of great interest to me.The racism spin on everything threw me for a loop. I didn't realize until shortly into this that that was the primary focus.So sorry.Not for me.I find the premise and the agenda of this doc divisive and aimed at stirring up dissension, and my apologies but that's not what I thought I was signing up for, and I have no stomach for it.We ALL know about the shameful ignorance of decades gone by (and beyond). I have no desire to dwell on this topic.Let's move on, shall we?
