YouTube - Originals: Gil Scott-Heron 3/6
Gil Scott-Heron, poet and musician, is the "Godfather of the Spoken Word." Hailed as the "Black" Bob Dylan, Gil came of age during the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s. Poignant, relevant, and authentic, Gil's work has been marginalized from the mainstream, yet he has been a tremendous influence on the Hip Hop generation and other African American poets. Attached is part of a documentary examining the highs and lows of his life and career. One of his most famous works, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised."
