Hands down. Stand up. Let your head spin. This Questlove video mix of 50 Years of SNL Music is a must watch for fans, non-fans, or anyone who has a heartbeat.
The clip above teases the upcoming Ladies & Gentlemen…50 Years of S.N.L Music airing on January 27th. If you’re not teased I don’t know what else could do that for you. As if the memories of the performances in this tease aren’t enough, the editing is something to be in awe of.
Just sit back. Watch it. I’ve archived it everywhere I could. You should too. I’m looking forward to the full show. How could you not be?
Then New York Times has a write up on the piece and interview with Ahmir Light (Questlove) by Alan Light you might also want to check out.
FYI: You may have to find the video on YouTube. The Watch on YouTube link above appears to work sometimes and others note.
