There will never be another Gil Scott Heron or Curtis Mayfield

[@Burt472]

Great Dad....A greeting from Italy

[@SLABONECHD]

Great song

[@richardmbowman]

THIS is my guy. Singer, musician, "bluesologist" (as he called himself), songwriter (extraordinaire), poet, philosopher...teacher. My guy...a giant. We miss you Gil...so much. Rest In Paradise. Peace out.....

[@richardmbowman]

A giant among pygmies.....

Gil took me out of my white middle class world and gave me a ' reality check'. Still listen to him and Mr Jackson for the love and to ' never forget'...x

[@mr.palabras9768]

Gil found the middle point between Blues, Jazz and Soul.

Heir to us find this man who NEVER FORGETS..NEVER FORGETS THAT HE'S A PRISONER!!

[@Burt472]

Total and Crystal-Clear Awareness of things is certainly a gift but also a heavy burden to deal with....Painful in the least.....

[@Burt472]

Scaringly powerful.....

[@asdf852asdf]

This really didnt need to hit so hard wtf Gil you cant do me like this 2 am in the morning while im doing my useless college powerpoint presentation

[@johnwillfork788]

Strange, I'm in a similar situation

[@mikecerullo2685]

Young folks don't know what a poet he was

[@Burt472]

THE essence. Period

[@lucadantiga5316]

Qualcosa di assolutamente, incredibilmente, indubbiamente Magico artista immenso, Coltrane e Pharaon Sanders incontrano Isaac Hayes

[@Burt472]

Gil Scott-Heron.....Une degli artisti migliori degli USA a livello di testi......

[@ncadburns1020]

Love this dude. I see no colors.
