Also was able to see him and Brian Jackson, perform at the Roxy, in Hollywood, CA. The late '70's was the time period.

Had the album, Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, which, of course, the original version of "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised", recorded with just conga drums, percussion, and voice, not the version with Bernard Purdue. No disrespect intended.

Thank you so much for your mini feature on one of my favourite people, Gil Scott Heron. I first started listening to him and The Last Poets when I lived in Jamaica. ( around 1970). I spoke to him many times at the Bottom Line and SOBs were he occasionally played. I always checked out his shows(although sometimes he was a few hours late) in New York. I was also familiar with a few members in his band like Robert Gordon and Larry McDonald(also from Jamaica, and who played on 5 of my records.) I miss his clarity ,candor, and sense of humor . He was one of the cornerstones of American music, and I hope he'll someday be recognised as such.(I have most of his albums.) R.I.P. Gil Scott Heron

Yo dude that was a serious history lesson you just put down! I thought I knew a lot about Gil Scott Heron, but obviously not enough. I once worked with the Lost Boyz back in '99 when they blocked out the studio I was working @ during that time "New Horizons Recording Studios" I met a cat named Mel that I got along with very well, but I had no idea Cheeks was Gil Scott Heron's nephew! <---- Mind Blower! I saw Gil in concert once in my neighborhood @ The Ontario Theater. Great concert!
