      Go back and study all of "their" work. Brian Jackson was the catalyst to Gil's best work.

      I've been with him since 1970. Seen him numerous times. These were the days before drugs devastated the black mind. The sounds of freedom, betterment and good old socia consciousness filled the air. The difference in the black mind from then to now is very clear.

    "If you could help someone, why wouldn't you?" Probably the single most important and profound statement to come from this great man and one we should all live by. There will always be struggles in life for everyone but if we just helped each other along the way this would be a much better place. I think it's a message worth sharing.

    No comments?!!? Ok gsh, my favorite artist, He's like roger waters from Harlem. Brian Jackson? Like a free George Jackson with a beat. The combo? Unbeatable. Back when things were bad but there was hope. Now things are a bit more comfortable, but we've lost our hope, our proletarian revolutionary spirit was drowned in crack-capitalism and the opioid crises. Jumkies, crackheads, and hustlers can't be effective revolutionaries. They can preach, and they can run and hide and go to jail.

      I've seen statistics indicating that the income level of Black Americans in terms of real purchasing power has not improved since this was recorded or even since the sixties. When MLK said black people got their gains at a bargain price in the sixties and that the future issues would actually cost America money in terms of improving socioeconomic conditions, America took one look at that and said, "Nah."

    An artist of gigantic proportions who could communicate with words and music on a higher and deeper level about conditions of our country and African Americans as well. He warned us about things and situations to avoid, but it seemed in the end he struggled with those same issues. He left a song that I use daily in my life “ A Lovely Day “. “ May God Bless His Soul. “

    I'm crying as I read these replies. I LOVE Gill Scott Heron. I have never been a concert/club goer, but I saw him about 6 times in my early 20's. I saw him mainly doing lectures at nearby universities. He had a huge impact on me.

      True. Also, It’s Your World, the two record studio and live album. One of my favorites. I wonder if these two, which don’t show up in streaming, have some licensing issues explaining their absences? Were they both Elektra label? I know World was.

    The best of the my brother late Paul Ikhamate Ugiomoh taught me how to listen and appreciate good music. Gil I love your inspiring lyrics but the Almighty loves you most. Keep on resting in peace in the bossom of the Lord. And may the Lord have mercy on you and the souls of other faithful departed rest in the bossom of God. Gil Scott Heron my late inspiratory and mentor I love you, your messages and everything about you. Most especially the revolutionary and freedom lyrical renditions. I love you Gil rest in peace. In Jesus Christ precious and mighty name l pray amen.

      there's an additional dimension insofar as, with the original vinyl, the internal ring of the record imprints a circle that perfectly frames the cat's right-hand eye; what a magical gesture in presenting the cat as a true sphinx guarding the "secrets" of this world!

    Always has been one of my favorite albums from Gil also Pieces of a Man & Winter in America Giland Brian Jackson. Then there's not a lot from Gil I don't like. Just listening to him without any music was very special.
    The video Gil did in Wash.,DC walking around parts of the city that's playing on Tubi was the best, Gil and the Midnight Band at their best.

    • @The1trueDave
      @The1trueDave Před rokem

      🤣 Is that what it was? I wasn't familiar with the song so I assumed it was something stronger...
      I mean Nina Simone got away with 'Mississippi Goddamn' years before that so I don't know, maybe the record company were just being cautious.
      Would love to know if there's an uncensored studio version anywhere as it's a great song and still very relevant...
