THIS is my guy. Singer, musician, "bluesologist" (as he called himself), songwriter (extraordinaire), poet, philosopher...teacher. My guy...a giant. We miss you Gil...so much. Rest In Paradise. Peace out.....
Just recently discovered this joint and I can't stop listening to it over and over. This joint is so deep. RIP to this ancestor, much love and respect!!!
Gil took me out of my white middle class world and gave me a ' reality check'. Still listen to him and Mr Jackson for the love and to ' never forget'...x
Yo gotta love does lyrics and da beat dammmmmmmnnnn u gotta love to b a black man with knowledge and understanding we those us r blessed it just goes to show bad times build formidable character
one of the few songs that can bring me to tears #2023
Understandably so.....Impossible for one to remain indifferent......
2024*
There will never be another Gil Scott Heron or Curtis Mayfield
I’m 18 years old I’m glad my dad showed me real music when I was growing up much love to Gil❤️
Great Dad....A greeting from Italy

So deep - Shakes me emotionally every time i listen to it.
Same 😭
Same here
Same!
Only song to make me cry
Understandably so
Great song
Gil found the middle point between Blues, Jazz and Soul.
Great analogy
@@afrobluatlanta2380 I love his music. Greetings from the DR.
I live this song... tremendously deep...
Another gem, by a master poet/musician!
Yes, absolutely.......Respect from Italy...RIP
Quality tune 1luv 😎.....
Timeless Classic from Bluesologist Baba Gil Scott Heron.Thanks for posting.
This is beautiful poetry from the soul...
Gil Scott. Heron. Was. A. Great. Artist. Poet. Activist. Most. Of. A. Wonderful. Person. We. Have. And. Will. Truly. Miss. Him. ! Without. A. Doubt. Without. Question.
Thanks and Respect from Italy...Giant Artist who will never be forgotten
A master at his craft.....
A Giant
Probably my favourite song
Haunting''Yet True And Beautiful
Never felt so blue in my life.

this song is me.i am this song.
Respect from Italy
Yeah, Gill was.and will always be
If this does not sum of a large part of the black experience, then I don't know what does.
This really didnt need to hit so hard wtf Gil you cant do me like this 2 am in the morning while im doing my useless college powerpoint presentation
Strange, I'm in a similar situation
Young folks don't know what a poet he was
Qualcosa di assolutamente, incredibilmente, indubbiamente Magico artista immenso, Coltrane e Pharaon Sanders incontrano Isaac Hayes
Gil Scott-Heron.....Une degli artisti migliori degli USA a livello di testi......
Heir to us find this man who NEVER FORGETS..NEVER FORGETS THAT HE'S A PRISONER!!
Scaringly powerful.....
This song is chilling Boston Mike
Total and Crystal-Clear Awareness of things is certainly a gift but also a heavy burden to deal with....Painful in the least.....
Love this dude. I see no colors.
THE essence. Period
she knows her man is a prisoner
How do you like it more than once?
on my way to work in the morning when i don't give a damn
