@jonnyjonesify ....winter in america...the watergate blues.....if H2O is water and gate then what we have here is the watergate blues....what about ....was it a touch of spring in the air....did you have your pink dress on...
gil i love your music the spoken truth in your music black pride but the evil of that white horse took you for a ride in too hell please gil get it to together come on back to earth
A consummate artist, poet and musician with a politicized agenda. I wince when he's attributed as the 'Godfather of Rap' - where in his lyrics does he fetishize firearms, extoll the abuse of women, and murder for the sake of petty turf wars?
Im glad your back. I have a SPECIAL place in my heart for just YOU! Ive LOVED you since the 1st day I heard your song The Revolution Will Not be Televised. I'll meet you in Heaven than I can sit up front & listen to Your Magic.
Gil Scott Heron es uno de mis artistas negros favoritos y me alegro mucho de que esté de vuelta. La gente como Gil es necesaria en estos tiempos tan dificiles que estamos viviendo. Gil, me alegro por tí y espero que vuelvas a deleitarnos con buena música.
Gil Scott Heron is one of my favorite black artists and I am glad much of which it is of return. People like Gil are necessary in these so difficult times that we are living. Gil, I am glad for you and I hope that you return to delight to us with good music.
@thatgirlinnewyork Agreed. The messages he left from the late 70's and early 80's still seem to be prevalent issues in America. It also seems a lot of them have been swept under the carpet, and as such they garner no attention from the mass media anymore.
Thank god that my main man is still on the scene or should I say back on the scene. Truly, truly in my humble opinion one of the most important artists as far as message music and just being a trend setter and well, I could just go on and on about this brother.
Thanks for posting. Good to see Gil looking and expecially sounding well. Glad he's out performing again, hope he come's to Cleveland where I am. Winter in America is a beautiful track & I still play the cassette in my car. His writing from the 70's is even more relevant today. A true living legend!!
Rest In Power!

Brilliant. What jackass talks over his set? Drunks, as musicians you can't live with or without them.
