The death of this artist has hit me hard. I loved him more than I knew. His spirit is free now but it spoke to me through his work for the majority of my life. Thank you for your wisdom old friend.
From the last poets to Bridges to beyond, Gil Scott Heron was constantly blazing a new trail for the socially conscience. His art is so powerful. I'm so grateful for his work, his music, his watchful eye for injustice, and his willingness to stand up to and speak out against those who would perpetrate abuse and hate. Mil gracias Gil por todo!
I remember this as one of my favorite fusion tracks form the late 70's as I was finishing up my college radio career. Gil Scott-Heron was able to bridge the chasm very adeptly and express the hope for the future. We Almost Lost Detroit is another great track of his to check out. RIP GSH, your work will keep you alive to the masses.
yes, he was a gift to our planet

He was my introduction to jazz.. Racetrack was always one of my favorites.
First Phoebe Snow, now Gil. The last of singer, poet, musician types as we know them.
