I was a kid in the mid to late 70s and living in San Francisco, I did not hear this kind of music over on the radio. Good and interesting documentary.

I don't think it really hit the US until the 80s.

I was a white kid living in the Mission from mid seventies till late 80's. This was our culture, music and dress code, but we where the only ones with a few other kids around SF. We got our influences directly from Europe cause we had close family ties and my older brother was moving back and forth. I remember funny reactions from blacks in the Fillmore when we'd show up to listen to soul music, we where the only whites kids on the horizon. We got along well with the Chicanos and the Blacks while surfing on our own cultural mix.
