Various Artists - Save The Children (1973)Motown OST - Rare Soul +++ Artwork

Save the Children was a 1973 American documentary film directed by Stan Lathan and written by Matt Robinson. The concert documentary film chronicles performers that appeared during Jesse Jackson's Operation PUSH exposition held in 1972 in Chicago to raise funds for the kids. This is the Soundtrack to the film which was released by Motown Records.If anyone has the Documentary please contact me & i,ll do the rest!  Interesting to note that most of these Artists Were On the Motown label for the first time....& last!   Artists Like these would never come together again apart from the Wattstax Concert in L.A..

All I can say is wow! You've done it again. This has songs that take me way back to my teenage years. Great compilation of soul, jazz, and gospel.
