RIP Gil Scott-Heron

Big musical influence for a lot of people. "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" is a classic.

Dead at 62.

I saw that report this morning. You could always feel the passion behind his songs. "The Bottle" and "Johannesburg" are two songs that stayed with me from the first time I heard them to this day.

Talent is often the byproduct of having demons.

Man, that sucks. I have been listening to a lot of him the past few weeks. In fact it's on my short list to buy some more.
That's too bad.

Thumbs up Truly a "Special" Performer!

Gil-Scott Heron
I started listening to him in the early 70's, (have a full collection of his music) not a lot of people understood his greatness or his music. But looking back he has stood the test of time! Years of drugs and "other" issue's slowed down his output of great music. But as it seems from his new album, not his soul. Lets lift a glass of wine and turn up "the bottle" loud from the Midnight Band>New Year Eve!!! We will not see another like Gil again, RIP Gil!

Was it his song used in a Sopranos episode once
sort of summary of what might happen to a guy during his life,
over a jazz/rock soundtrack?
