Gil Scott Heron - Bicentennial Blues LIVE

Rare Live Gil Scott Heron Tribute for Blues

[@daynaGratefull]

America has still got the blues...

[@rovervitesse1]

These words are more appropriate now than ever - the man was a genius

[@johnthijm5113]

The blues grew up in Satchmo’s horn, on Duke’s piano and Langston’s poetry, on Robeson’s baritone, on Gil Scott’s rap.

[@cadge]

Yes, the 'Blues' is as American as apple pie, but it's interesting that we in the UK took it to our hearts and loved it!

[@jazzmanchgo]

RIP Gil -- Where is your voice now, when we need it more than ever?

[@goat1408]

Up to us now.

[@johnthijm5113]

He handed us the relay baton and now it’s up to us to carry it a little further and hand it over to some else.

[@sambanelly4219]

Shout out to Warren G from 213 and Drake for bringing me here 🙌🏿 🙏🏿

[@michaelscott2389]

And his last album let the blues pass by was “I’m New Here”. Epitaph for our “half-assed freedom”: Song of a human being arriving in an Atlantic crossing from Africa and disembarking in this country from a tall masted slaver, anew, again and again. This man is immortal.

[@TrueKing]

HEAVY.
