Way back when in the summer of sixty-nine The hippies all gathered in Woodstock to have a good time Country Joe, Janis and Jimi were really big news But no one knew the scene in Harlem filled with gospel and blues It's the greatest tale of urban music that's never been told An embarrassment of riches, it was the summer of soul Half a million strong they descended on Yasgur's farm Sex, drugs, and rock and roll gave Woodstock its charm But Harlem had Mavis, Mahalia, and Nina Simone BB and Stevie and Sly and the Family Stone A magical cast of players, it was musical gold The best kept secret in Harlem, the summer of soul Oooh, oooh, the summer of soul Oooh, oooh, the summer of soul Oooh, oooh, the summer of soul Oooh, oooh, the summer of soul
