he was early, maybe the first who tried to enlighten us all. My Brother My Brother blest to see him twice, in the Windy City. RIP our Brother...😔😪😥😢😭💔💜✌
Gil was serious! I loved his music. But there were many before him trying to enlighten us.
@@eugenedancy1129 Really, name 10 of your many or is that too many...just saying...enlighten me????????
@@LawndaleLancaster-qg1vk I am a true fan of Gil. One of my favorite artist of all time. Through music he definitely tried to enlighten us, but he wasn't the first. Through music there was Nina Simone, The Last Poets, Harry Belafonte, Mahalia Jackson, James Brown, Odetta, Curtis Mayfield, Aretha Franklin and Sam Cooke. Outside of music there was Stokley Carmichael, James Farmer, Malcolm x, Earl Little father of Malcom x, Martin Luther King, Ida B Wells, Marcus Garvey, John Lewis, Frederick Douglas and many more! You've been enlightened!!
@@eugenedancy1129 step off and be alone...you forgot Jesus...bye silly, silly is as silly...oh I know you know the rest...stay in your lane...please??????? and one truth the Poets came from him learn to read while you are alone...thanks for reading...or trying too😎

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Discovered this guy, 2 weeks ago. Everything about his music is powerful
I remember The Last Poets in 1970 and The Revolution. I was only 13. Today I googled them and now learned more about Gil Scott. Now I'm HOOKED on his work. He recites powerful poetry, Political Skits, Standup, and is a musician. Where have I been ?? RIP ❤
He is not recognized enough! Even in protest communities. I love his songs. There is no other like him. Totally unique, totally the man that was needed at that time.
"You Just Can't Make This 💩 Up"!
Music of our time was never used to destroy our relationship with each other! It never promoted hate or violence against each other!
In the 70s in DC we looked at Gil-Scott as a messager for our people💓 as other black entertainers R I P
The original rapper Of essential knowledge delivered to his people in a delightful musical form. Timeless...... Genius..... Relevant...... Commanding voice... Unflinching Social political Essential knowledge!!!!!!!!!!!
This is some top tier Gil content, man was a prophet and eternally relevant!
To place Gil Scott Heron historically we must understand where black poets and their poetry were at the time
GSH was, in essence, a poet and chronicler of his time. His musicianship was first-class because he surrounded himself with very talented sidemen
He was a force of nature, unfiltered and unadulterated
He could see to the other side because he stood on the shoulders of the greatest poets of the day and the recent past
RIP Brother
Aleuta continus
Oh Wow! Gil Scott I was the Man. The brother was so, so Awesome! I love and loved Gil! RIP!
I saw Gil in the mid 70,s Later in Houston in the 80,s was always a fan
the number of times i've watched the grainiest version of this possible on UA-cam over the years before now 😂
I had the pleasure of seeing Gil in concert in the mid 80s - great stuff . Ronnie Holloway, one of his horn players who appears in this film, is still active playing in the area, and also often sits in with many jam bands in the East Coast. Another horn player who appears here, Vernon James, had been playing the Wilmington area until he sadly passed away in early 2017. His son, Vernon James Jr , carries on the traditional of wonderful sax work !
Good Night Gil ‘ 🎈♥️
Gil the goat
Now do The Last Poets, please!
Love this, called like it is! Awesome, my favorite...the revolution will be televised!!
Thanks for restoring this!
