Musician, songwriter, author, music journalist, and film director, Questlove joins Lauren to talk about his new documentary Summer of Soul (...or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) which documents the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival that took place in Harlem鈥檚 Mount Morris Park the same summer as Woodstock.

Plus it's your chance to get a tune played on the radio if you're First In, we hand-pick something incredible from around the 6 Music schedule in Fantastic Beats & Where To Find Them, and we'll play you something brand new that we love in While You Were Sleeping.
