My pleasure. RIPower indeed. ❤
100 ;)
Agreed..!
& Last Poets, Curtis Mayfield, Funkadelic, Betty Davis, Nina Simone, (A Band Called) Death, Lightnin' Rod + Jimi Hendrix, and many more....
Gil Scott was a very altruistic person, although he wound up being one of, if not THE most INSPIRATIONAL voices in the HISTORY of not only just black music, but the movement for Black power and Black liberation, he ALWAYS thought MORE of others than himself! I can relate to that because he was an Aries ♈️ as I am myself!
His celebrations came from what he felt in his ❤️, not what anyone could buy or do for him because when people use those, they subliminally have some form of control and use them to manipulate you! We're BLESSED beyond just about anything we can imagine, to see clips like this because, imho, he felt he could be MORE effective in the lives of people, BEHIND cameras and photos, rather than in FRONT of them, and he left US with and ENDLESS library of, as he'd term it "Bluesic", that can tell us MORE about him than he probably could HIMSELF!
I got turned on to him in my early teens and am STILL filled with inspiration, and each time I listen to songs by him I've repeatedly heard before, I learn something new, not only about him, but about life itself! Although he was firey, and everyone knows about "The Revolution will not be televised", many of the other songs he wrote, that are works of beauty, have really IMPACTED me because I see MYSELF in them!
Songs like "Save the Children", "Lady Day and John Coltrane", "The Prisoner", "A Morning Thought," "Three Miles Down", "Kane", "Fell Together", "NYC", and so many others! It's almost as if he told my story BEFORE it actually HAPPENED! His album "Real Eyes" with him and his first child is one of the HAPPIEST pictures I've ever seen of him, I CAN RELATE!
My children are grown, and now that I'm a GRAND, when I look in the faces of my grandchildren and they look at me, that's REAL LOVE in its purest form, I know I won't be here to see the world they'll live in, but I want them to ALWAYS remember the LOOK they saw in grandpa's eyes and know I'll ALWAYS be with them!
A CERTIFIED SO to Mr. GIL Scott Heron, may he Rest in Power!✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
thank you for this upload. miss you, baby.
So Deep
14:45 Gil is such a class act. The brotha provided brotha Gil a flyer. The interviewer didn't want to give credit to his work. Gil's response is a beautiful one.
Absolutely Love GIL SCOTT-HERON Teacher, Poet, Singer, Songwriter, Rapper, Musician & a GENIUS BLESS... Miss You Too Much BROTHER GIL....REST IN PARADISE WITH GOD.... One Love, Rajesh Semrete Selassie Aggarwal FRSA 🙏💚💛❤🙏
I always saw Gil in Chelsea walking. He was always in the Fulton Houses. Beautiful person.
He was an original artist from the ground up. A pure genius.
Nothin to add here. Pure genius!
Well said.
Gil Scott made you feel his music ✌.
Rest easy greatest artist of all time. RIPower
Great thinker and artist. R.I.P
Amen! 🙏🏼
Makes sense - "We will make new albums when you buy the old ones." Thank You for this interview. Truly creative and underappreciated brother. Words of Truth.
says the most beautiful thing i've heard in a long while, interviewer: ''you just sold 5 cd's right there''.
I LOVE the way he gets around be his own self free and alone R,I,Heaven.
Gil Scott Heron is my favorite African American artist and has had an enormous positive impact on my life. Home Is Where The Hatred Is is one of the greatest songs ever if you ask me.
Blessed to be able to witness Brotha Gill Scotts Work. He did a fantastic job, providing uplifting and motivational Art to be observed by the generations to come. Rest in Power our Ancestor King Gill Scott Heron. We love you and The Marathon Continues 🖤
💙💜❤ ~ This is how you know it don't take much to make you smile. Just gimmie something real.
What a good, caring man, enlightened man, comfortable in his flawed skin. Jah guidance & protection.
I'm a white jew, and I have nothing but mad respect for Gil Scott-Heron when I heard waiting on the moon, I was like wow! Talk about putting things in perspective. Mr Heron gets nothing but mad respect for me
It was called Whitey On the Moon.
Miss him. I still always listen regularly to his music. Work for Peace, and so many other songs of his are still on my playlist in recent times. Wish there was some music like this being played on the radio for young people today. Gil put out songs about relevant issues, he took you to school.😊 I definitely think he was one of the best artists. Important mesages, great music and a very nice singing voice & style. I can just imagine what he would be saying today.

Respect knowledge is power 2024💪🏿👏🏿💯✌🏿
This was deep wow. R.I.P
Gold
❤🖤💚👑 💯 R.estored I.n P.ower . 🙏🏽 Legendary, Gone but Not Forgotten! Im a Poet and Poetry is a song without a beat. Thats Right* My book says it all. 🤗
Such a cool time capsule.
Bro dropped the hardest albums of all time and Spotify is 1984'ing them. RIP the GOAT
I was quite upset to only notice this recently. Because I had all his CDs and imported them into my iPhone, on top of never really streaming until this year, I was mad to find most their albums (him + Brian Jackson I mean) are unavailable on Apple Music. I really think his music is literature, history, blues, jazz, and funk mixed together
Why is his music not available? 🙁
The black poet always will remember his visionary words of the 70’s”The revolution will not be televised “
Loved it!
Beautiful
He was a good 👍 soul
See him in concert at newcastle Riverside venue
He really seems at his best towards the end. I only started listening to his stuff, he seemed like a really cool guy
The man said, his written word and music go hand in glove❤❤❤🎉
...if they really knew the truth, why would they tell you! (Words of the Great Gil Scott Heron - The Revolution Will Not Be Televised)
beautiful footage 🙏🏼
brother done this good🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼😹😹😹😹😹
💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿
♥️
I want those shoes he has on.
❤❤❤
awww nice to see JD, back when I told everyone I met that he was Canadian lol
The cameraman was working hard at all angles, wonder if it was ever edited to tie it all together fluidly.
Awesome. Imma check this out.
Hip poet with a message

Kinda looks to me like the interviewer is practically beaming with excitement and joy to talk to the guy. Perhaps he was nervous to talk with someone so clearly extremely talented and intelligent. That question about "being out of the industry" at the beginning, the interviewer seemed to know the sort of answer he would receive. As in he knew he wasn't really out of music, just that people en large probably thought he was.
I feel like I could go on about it but perhaps it is an issue of perspective and/or projection on the part of the viewer than it is of the interviewer. You are kidding yourself if you think you have a better sense of judgement than Gil.
Legend!
Good man
Gil is literally a bar spitter
GSH - "get the album go find out what we're saying!"
should have been interviewed by a cultured person. RIP
Who is he?
Great content, but can we get another watermark on this video please? I really love when I can't see anything logos.
Some dudes need to turn the telescope the other way around.
He deserved a better interviewer
Nothing wrong with the interviewer.
@@smiauu get a life
@@smiauu you can say "nothing's wrong" with the interviewer. He certainly stayed within the margin. But it's all about vibes... and that's different.
@@plumjade4584 since when media was guided by "vibes"
What's the issue, the man's not interrupting Gil, he's letting him talk, how can it be better?
Gil was a great talent but it is sad to see the toll drugs took on him.
Hello would you please give me permission to use a clip from this interview. I will give you credit.
Yes! Be my guest.
Gil Scott-Heron was woke way before the word woke was even invented! Good for that great soul
That's Becky, he got a job "He might of stole that" brilliant
Ripower Indeed
20:27 that to me is a weird statement he makes
was gil on opioids ? or was he just old at this point?
Gil was my man my everything from ‘95-2000 we lived together. I can see he was high in the beginning of this clip. He smoked crack. I tried to get him to stop. During this interview the crack high wore off gradually and he was calmer and more himself. Miss him.
@@moniquedelatour addiction is a B :( thanks for the insight, he is my all time favorite artist and im sure he is to many other people aswell, i hope that can soften the pain somewhat, knowing he will never be forgotten.
