She' s a great interviewer, you can tell from Sun Ra's responses

Sun Ra was from Saturn, no question. Thanks Ra, for your wisdom and the lovely music.

Everytime the legend pops up on my feed, i stop & 👂🏿. Rocket no.9 has taken me to space, which is the place. I wish i had an opportunity to meet this being while he was here on the planet but I came here in '87 so i missed my window but thanks to the music that was shared by Sun Ra & Arkestra I was able to tap in. I AM GRATEFUL!

No matter who you are you can not watch this video/interview and not come away with something. This great Jazz musician had a whole lot to say but at the end of the day a lot of people don't want to hear the truth.

i was so lucky, a friend took me to a show at the old ballard firehouse in Seattle. i was such a punk..but suddenly I understood...music is fun, and freeing. thank you sun ra.

Recording artists worldwide who are in the industry right now need to listen to the intro of this video ... and then learn from the rest of it.

we have to develop our ethnic structures pure brilliance

"Everyone has to have their own government n their own ethic cultural structure" 👏👏 I admire how he seamlessly transitions from philosophy, politics, culture, religion n all in the same tone also, the interviewer was great n asked him some sensible questions.

This was a great interview. She treated Sun Ra with respect and with no air of judgement. I listened to this interview and I found it to be full of wisdom.

He saw the future, he saw the past. He really was the truth, a seer, and possibly the greatest jazz & blues keyboardist of the 20th century... piano and organ.

"- I do get a lot of publicity in Europe and every other country I go in, because they know I deal with something more than music. They're beginning to feel it can't be expressed in words, and that's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to play a superior type of music. Not music that deal with the body, not music that deal with the mind - but music that deal with the spirit. The way it should be! You know, when you deal with music that deal with the spirit, you can encourage people to fight against the bad conditions on this planet. Even encouraging them to change things, simply by the music. " Sun Ra speaks the truth like no one else. Amen.

This (brother) if I may called him ‘’that’’ is truly uniquely different, different prospective about black people and our lifestyle and culture that you don’t hear from anyone else, his music is not from planet earth period.

Sun Ra is more than music. He is an important reminder that we must treat everyone we meet with love and respect. My ears were fortunate to have heard him a few times. Wonderful ! I have a piece “12:30 On M Street “ with a tribute to Sun Ra. Space is the place!!!!! Please if you check out 12:30 On M Street…. Give a comment so I can grow and learn. Peace and Love 💕

This sister is a great interviewer man.

how good that she let him talk and not interrupt or push her own ego-good job!

Most of black jazz musicians took racism as their biggest muse to be creative... Not sun ra he is a choosen one... He had no hate inside.... Even when his music is all about destroying and creating a parallel universe ...he has so much knowledge inside you can hear in his frequencies.... I mean his voice

"Everything on this planet came out of Egypt". Sun Ra!

Sun Ra, I relate to him! Our young people need to experience him!

good interview with the legend sun ra. a jazz legend well ahead of his time. we all come away with something listening to this.

Listening in 2019 and how relevant and prophetic in the new era. There are billions of dollars for the blacks in the world bank

You may interpret him that way. But I think he meant the ancient Ethiopians who were the first Egyptians and they lost their country and government. Sun Ra was an Egyptologist. He read on Egyptology widely. Find out what he read in Szwed's book Space is the Place: The Lives and Times of Sun Ra.

music before money ! sucsess based on genuine creativity [reflecting our source, and mutual creation] , not mass aceptance in pop culture ]...money power ego Sun Ra the seeker of truth... live humble

sun ra so cool

"They eliminate the truth..."yes. Speak it, my prophet, speak it! They couldn't eliminate your truth and they never will.

Great. He's talking "Chinese", for more than 90% of the people. The interviewer didn't comprehend what he was talking about, and could question Sun Ra responses to extract more Gems. He knows much more than we can imagine if the right person could extract those answers.

"Any man talking about God, I investigate it." He did. The translations of his findings resonates in the music. In this interview,, his philosophy is beyond this world. If you've witnessed him perform live, you've witnessed, or experienced communion with angels.

I gleaned a lot of wisdom from this video. Thank you.

Sun ra was definitely ahead of his time

Thanks for suggesting "Magical Egypt" I just finished and about to watch it again. From the spirituality, lucid dreaming, to the alchemy, all have my mind blown.

Amazing interview seriously! I hate how people on comments board try to talk and act like Sun Ra. Sun Ra is an amazing person, but you guys need to be yourself. That's the best way to be.

Damn Sun Ra Is Dropping it Sun!!

Sun Ra is a precursor to Earth Wind and Fire. I did a Maurice White video that speaks a little on his mysticism. thankyou kindly.

11:50 so the idea of the angel race came from a newsreel on Nigeria with people who look just like people here. I'm with you Mr. Ra.

my man dropping shots with those hearing test head phones on....vibe

P-R-O-F-I-T! Man Sonny was so quick! Such a void now that he's gone.

Egypt was the last golden age we experienced before our descent into spiritual darkness. All of the secret/sacred knowledge we hold today (hermeticism, themela, OTO, Free-masonry, alchemy) can have its roots traced back to the egyptians. If you want to get a basic understanding of what Sun Ra intuitively or otherwise understood than watch the series "Magical Egypt" on KZfaq. This was put together by some really turned on and tuned in scholars I must say,

Thank you so much for posting this interview !

4:23 💣 5:50 💣 7:40 💣 13:03 💣 14:54 💣 17:48 💣 26:57 💣

Wonderful Interview Thank you 🤎Ra

Excellent Interview, thank you very much. Speace!

*listening with arms crossed stroking my beard with eyelids half shut staring side-eyed* Go on ...

Sun Ra ❤

Thanks for posting this. My goodness.

"Space is the place" - Sun Ra 🛸 🪐

enlightening perspective.

Sun Ra drinking a Coca-Cola is probably one of the greatest things I've ever seen.

What a brilliant unique man

Hahahaha I love his little quick smiles when the interviewers are acting and sounding like they don’t know what to do or say and you can tell he’s getting a kick out of making them uncomfortable. Go to 10:30 for instance and watch the quick little smile after the the ufo not having a license remark 😂😂

TEACH, PROPHET, TEACH!

Great interviewER and great interviewEE. Only by letting Sun Ra speak at length can misquoting him and taking him out of context be avoided. Listen to how he 24:40 corrects her : "......P.R.O.F.I.T." At 25:29 is the truth as I have rarely seen it being spoken.

damn, go Sun Ra, OG wise

4:44 From "Superman" to Man, Joel Augustus (J. A.) Rogers (1917)

the most important statement made to black people ever-- 19:54 to 20:45-- billions-- THATS SO TRUE

Love it

Sun Ra Respect!!!

I worked on the movie "Space is the place" the crew was told we would be paid when the movie was released Nobody was paid.

If as many people who followed the honorable Alijah Mohammed would have followed Sun Ra the world would be a different place by now

The All mighty Sun Ra

yes !!!

Culture. This is what he speaks on, and this is we so desperately lack, to the point where it's a leading cause of our demise.

Peace, Sun Ra was so on point. He was wise.

BLAK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!!

This is Sun Ra

I wish I was raised in a conscious household

The first americans were actually the clovis people and they weren't pacific islanders or australian aborigines. Also as of 2011 were actually finding other cultures that pre-date the clovis people none of them came from the pacific islands. They crossed a land bridge from the bering strait during the ice age.

sun ra should have been handed the key to the universe, not the key to the city..

@CEddy10165 closing credits say 1981, for tv production/ broadcast

Oh fuck, i don't want to ruin this comments board because i'm talking about something other than Sun Ra because this is an amazing interview. Basically what i was explaining to MySkiesAreBlue24 is that the first people who lived in North and South America were ancient people called the Clovis people. They lived around 11,000 years ago. Look it up.

yeah man..l you know what... its the same in scotland...

Sun Ra: Super-Genius.

+Boozy Grogy In a nutshell, from his point-of-view... is what makes it a timely interview/documentary

Impossible is not impossible.

viiibes +++

Before the was George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic, before David Bowie and Ziggy Stardust, there was SUN RA!

the most far out guy on the planet .. :)

I really like this film! I did not like the audio quality at all but that happens often with videos. So, I turned on captions and this helped me quite a bit, even though that tool is not perfect. I loved it. The captions and hearing him at the same time gave me the experience I wanted; I wanted to actually think about what he was saying... He had charisma. He had a a great sense of humor. He starts to smile, but then he follows through and makes his points-- points which he meant to offer to all humans and in all sincerity I feel.

Truth in a nutshell

Listen to the Berkley speech and hear his truth about his speeches to Black people. Inwardly you will know if you can really accept Sun Ra, or if you have selective hearing as he points out about Black people. He knew people couldn't accept Truth, so he took advantage of their wishful thinking.

the first americans were pacific islanders and australian aborigines. the mongolian tribes were migrate hunters who followed the deer and were minority tribes. the so called african americans been here all along. this is what he meant by black ppls "lost their country and government".

George Clinton and Hendrixs mentor....

Sun Rat was poetic for sure. Just don’t buy into the “we’re bigger than we really are” delusions of grandeur mentality. It will suppress your actions as opposed to enlightening you

I wonder if Sun Ra was an activist? He is speaking from a stance of truth but then he goes off on some weired tangent. He was really a complicated man.

This the kinda music I make

blackness!

wow he's right even Egypt was built on a myth

:)

Interesting theory. So, do you subscribe to the theory that people came across the land bridge over the Bering Strait millions of years ago and populated North, Central and South America, ultimately having originated in the Rift Valley of Africa?

I love that stuff at 2:20. NO KIDDING. Jazz has lost it's intent...BIG TIME. He's got the "race reason" wrong I think...but he wasn't saying this in the "Lincoln Center Jazz Series Era". GET YOUR "CULTURE STRUCTURE" PEOPLE!!! PLay for your people!!! I know we think we are post-race...but notice that white people are saying that......

This dude is WOKE. Sun Ra ...

whats that he says at 25:50? "...not from guns, not from power, but simply because God was....

the American black culture should have gone to the direction of this man not the Reagan hip hop Direction

I get a lot more out of his music than his words.

24:50 :)

Sun ra enseñeme el jazz

that reporter missed what he said! he said "black ppls lost their country and goverment and felt if they intergrated they would be accpeted by society." what does he mean by this?

Please inform me then, what was his point?

apprentlatly you messed the point he was making as well.

Cheikh Anta Diop, the Senegalese scholar and scientist has written on the subject of who the Egyptians were. As to the Amerindians do you mean such a civilization that disappeared in what is now Ohio and left behind their serpent shaped mounds, the "mound builders"?

The Ancient Spirits say that the planet is billions of years old and that from my own research within myself I was told that the planet was ran by many different beings side by side with man..Thats why we see all the variations of beings living among man in the pyramids. They talked and commune with each other...but since the last 6000 years the world has been in a spiritual decline...now this is the dawn of the resurrection of man and his balance with the eternal cosmos

wow, i would never have even conceived that someone would not dig Sun Ra, much less say something like that about him. duh fuq are you about, homie?
