The full version of ^ this ^ (which I can't find online) is just one of the most amazing records I've heard.

I heard it around the time Bush MKII came to power and the parallels were stark!

He deserves his own thread because Gil-Scott Heron will be extensively eulogised.

A full version. But THE full (20 min, unlooped outro) version that is collectors gold. That shit is hot.

I love the line he repeats in 'The Revolution..', something about police brutality on the instant replay...

I love poetry to music, talking blues, all that Jazz... and I hardly know GSH's stuff. maybe time to start listening.

what vision and poetry.. few musicians/artists match his status. We all should have his music in our lives, so we can continue to question everything that is.. RIP Gil Scott Heron xx

let's hope 'pieces of a man' 'winter in america' and 'from south carolina to south africa' are re-released as orginal version albums.. of the +5000 tracks on my iPod GSH outshines the rest.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
