  • RIP Brother. We love you. We always will.

  • @niclashbg You are showing tremendous disrespect to the struggle of people like Gil-Scott Heron. Enough of your 'We are all human' crap. Get real brother, or else get off this. Its m****f**s like you who need to be thought some history, and some well-placed consideration.

  • 2012 - still no new thing! usa is always the same ol' shit!

  • "why don't they try stealin some of this poverty?...ain't no new thang.."

  • I love Gil - I know what he's saying - but the Stones are white and when they came to America they said 'we ain't no new thing' and brought black artists to the attention of American whites - same with Eric Burdon, Eric Clapton, Peter Green - the list is long and all these people felt the music and payed tribute to Black American culture... calm down - there just might be one or two good white folks around. Power To The Music.

  • I was born in Copiague in 58. I went to Mill Lane Junior High and Farmingdale High in the 70's. I knew Gil and his music very well. We all hustled to The Bottle back then. The Last Poets, Nikki Giovanni, Bama The Village Poet, Wanda Robinson, Hugh Masekela, Eddie Palmieri, Carlos Santana, Miriam Makeba, EWF, War, Cymande... You name it we had it in our house. A very social, political and spiritually conscious household.

  • Janis Joplin and Eric Burden I imagine were promoted over Black artists, yes, I don't doubt that. But that's not their fault, and I don't imagine Gil Scott-Heron would downgrade them as people for it.

  • r. Gill Scott Heron , Our 21st Cenrury Poet,  Composer. Music .Voice.

    Our National Treasure, Wonderful . for us all.

    ..Poof Perfect..Mr. GSH

  • I live on long Island, nobody knows who he is, thats a MUTHAFUCKIN SHAME. one hour from NYC and nobody, black or white. It's like not knowing who George Washington is. Louie Armstrong landed on the moon in like the eighties man
