Gil Scott-Heron
Poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron passed away yesterday at the age of 62. Scott-Heron is most known for his political commentary, which he would present in spoken word over musical beds performed by his band. His most well-known piece is “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” but my favorite among the limited sampling of Scott-Heron works I’ve listened to is probably “B Movie,” which is featured above.
