FOLLLLLKS LIVING IN THE BOTLE METAPHOR FOR I WANTMY MAMA MAY ALLAH FORGIVE THIS BROTHER HIS SINS AND GRAQNT HIM THE PARADIS FOR AT LEAST CARING AND BEING REAL
R.I.P. Mr. Heron...Youtube has afforded me with the opportunity to find classics that I thought I would never hear again.... Living in the Bottle was one of them... unfortunately, it took Mr. Heron's passing for this song and others of his to come to mind. You may be gone Mr. Heron, but your music will continue on.
I saw Gil Scott Heron in S.F back in the late 60's. He was off the hook ! Doing alot of raping and slam poetry that was way ahead of its time !! Thanx "TheSoulTwins"
@jodya077 yes, you're correct - Bataan did a very passable 'latin-jazz' version circa 1976. However, Gil Scott-Heron co-wrote and did the original with Brian Jackson.
@NowSunrise bass player for GSH's 'midnight band' was Ron Carter - although the full line up consisted of a 'who's who' of some of the best musicians in soul/jazz funk at that time: Johnny Pate (conductor), Brian Jackson on keyboards, piano, Bernard "Pretty" Purdie on drums, Burt Jones playing electric guitar, and Hubert Laws on flute and saxophone. Hope that helps?
@TheSoulTwins Thank you for taking the trouble to reply.Must now check out all these guys' work. Its been a favourite track of mine for a long time now....an absolute classic:
