🎉 I had the pleasure of meeting Gil three times. What a special human being. Rest in Glory Gil.🎉🎉
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 !
That voice that delivery. There is only one. 🙏🏾✊🏾 King Gil☝🏾

I met Gill Scott Herron for The First Time on the 16 of june 1989, a day After My 16th Bday, In NYC, And Got To Know His music in L.A in 1993,
"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised"
After That, I Saw Him Perform live 5 times.
Brilliant Mind!
"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
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!!
