Gil Scott-Heron | Three Miles Down

[KingWasp1]

I saw him a few years back and at the end of the gig he shook my hand and smiled this huge toothy grin....the gig was superb... shaking this great man's hand made my year. RIP brother Gil.

R.I.P. Brother GIL ( Sunrise April 1, 1949 - Sunset May 31, 2011

What an tragic loss...62 years young...Gil was light years ahead of his time and will be truly missed...I can't believe Google News never even mentioned his passing...What a shame

R.I.P. Brother GIL ( Sunrise April 1, 1949 - Sunset May 31, 2011

This cut is one of my all time favorite Gil Scott/ Brian Jackson compositions...Gil was light years ahead of his time...37 years ago he envisioned the entire middle east uprising thru this song...I can't believe Google News never even mentioned his passing

[lionscourt]

When all the others sold OUT, when the others put down their clenched FISTS, when coins, tell, N Pro wore them down to Amatuers.... and the kitchen was hot as a straightenin' comb.. Gil-Scott didn't give up Remember him, cuz the rest of us livin' LARGE... cuz of bruhs like HIM. Believe dat he's Still... wearin' FRO's and fist pumpin' for Freedom and Flight not birdies....

Conheci G.Scott-Heron em Zurich em 1988 através de um amigo e tornei-me de imediato um fan profundamente identificado com toda a obra e intervenção artística. Reencontrei G.Scott-Heron em 1998 em Viena onde resido, veio actuar numa das melhores salas da cidade e, what for a show on stage !!! Inesquecível performance! a) Ao meu amigo Werner em Zurich, muito obrigado por me ter dado a conhecer G.Scott-Heron; b) A Gil Scott-Heron, Thank You So Much for all. Jaime

R.I.P. GSH - I'm 55, heard you on the way up. Your message touched the heart of this white boy, back then, still does...I guess it always will...

[mishaboogie8]

His spirit will live on through his artistic legacy. R.I.P. Love you Gil!!!

[franz909]

I like that ... " it may soon change if you have to get your own coal " . Simple saying , so deep . You will be singing coal miners songs ..... if u have to get your own coal "

[PrymeAte]

Rest in peace. Can't believe he's gone.

[ET2CoastieWLV612]

[KrazeWorld]

I cant say it enough i fucking love this man!

[kayin4o8]

@KrazeWorld i feel ya man! genius artist

[uuruk]

I started loving him in the early 80's, dont understand much off his voices, but loved the sound. Later I understand the lyrics and loved him more.

I am white and german

[millicentbistander]

There's a couple definitions here...

The definition of what is a Cool Cat

And the definition of what is known as Knockin' 'Em Dead

Also... Gil = Genius.

[Davidbensonxyz]

I wish he'd do another UK tour.

[snorbie]

gil is back in london at the south bank i got a couple of tickets for april 23

[Davidbensonxyz]

Me too :)

[smittycal]

I didnt know he was big in the UK. I just had a british friend tell me he was a legend over there. I wish he had a bigger voice in pop America than he does

[sabledawn]

America is fine with his music; we just understand he keeps sabotaging his career with cocaine addiction and arrests.

[sabledawn]

You're an idiot.

[archietidy]

@sabledawn yomaa

[zoneganjah]

yeaaaaaaaah!

[nappyg1]

Seen him THREE TIMES LIVE but amerikkka cant stand him his muzic speaks truth

[drefish2]

@nappyg1 As an American I resent your remark. My friends and I have been listening to GSH since we were 10 (1970) you must be referring to "white" America

[nappyg1]

@drefish2 of course I am referring to white amerikkka. If you have been listening to him since 10 then your third eye is wide open to truth

[miznarik]

''three miles down ...one man ''

[lucasbaba1]

Loved this guy for 30yrs. I have so much empathy with his lyrics, I think he must be white,middle-aged and British beneath all that cool black dude persona!!

[James666Brown]

Who ever gave you negative feedback clearly didnt understand your statment.. He meant that HE is a Middle aged, White and British.. goddam There must have been some americans watching this video..
