Vintage Gil-Scott Heron recommendations.....


I remember driving in my car and first hearing "The Revolution will not be televised tonight" on the radio and being blown away by it. I was able to take out his latest release from the library and to be truthful, was not particularly impressed with it. Can anyone provide some recommendations to fill out my CD library?

all these are very worthy.
Eddaytona, when you look into the soul of someone who expected a much better and more positive world than the one in which we live; you can understand why they smoke crack. Real fact, not an excuse.
A very sad article in the New Yorker magazine about GS-H a couple of weeks ago. Serious ongoing crack problems and he is not young anymore.
I assume you have, "Pieces Of A Man", RCA CD 66627-2, which includes, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised".
"Spirits" and "the Revolution..." are the two I like. I didn't care for some of his latest work. Both should be readily available in the library...
