We took a lot of our music for granted.

[anthonyrodgers]

I'm still listening to Gil Scott.
He deserves a movie & or a documentary of his own.

[abcun]

Donny Hathaway, Sam Cooke, Curtis Mayfield, Bobby Bland, Bobby Womack, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder and Gil Scott Heron, nothing can touch these guys musically!

It's a new decade. Who's still listening to Gill Scott Heron in 6, 2020.

[JerseyVibes]

I never imagined I’d live in a world where over 1, 000 people would “thumbs down” a Gil Scott Heron song. To each his own; but just seems like a sign of the end of days to me. 😩😄 Rest in Power and Peace Brother Gil! Respect!

[kiwiduncan]

So many musical avenues lead back to this one guy. He's at the intersection of Rap and Blues, Folk and Soul, poetry and jazz. What an influence.

[deborahseaman]

Growing up in Chicago in the 80's, I heard this cat at a Hpuse music party and was immediately captivated by his message. He was not just underappreciated he was also prophetic with his words. Listen to the live version of this song and you will hear something magical. I hope he finds his revolution in heaven.
Peace Gil !!!

I will not beat around the bush. Gil Scott heron spiritually, musically and politically (despite his not being better known to the masses) was arguably the most prolific and important black musician of the last half century. Generations will be discovering, enjoying and learning from his voice as an artist and a human being for many years to come. He just needs a great film of his life to take his talents, amazing talents to the masses. It will happen.

This white kid from the suburbs was blown away in 1979 seeing Gil Scott live! 45 years later at 64 years old I’m still a big fan 🎼💫🎹⭐️
