Gill Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson - From South Africa to South Carolina

Funny how when you listen to Gill you realize we are already back to the 70's and regressing swiftly with each executive order!

"The collaboration between Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson was now a formal one, as they were issuing albums as a team. This was their second duo project to make the pop charts, and it included anti-nuclear and anti-apartheid themes, plus less political, more autobiographical/reflective material like "Summer of '42," "Beginnings (The First Minute of a New Day)," and "Fell Together." Scott-Heron was now a campus and movement hero, and Jackson's production and arranging savvy helped make his albums as arresting musically as they were lyrically."

Gil Scott-Heron was a prophet and I miss his voice greatly now despite the enduring relevance of so much of his music. I know folks who drooled over the Last Poets but in retrospect so much of their lyrics are misogynistic and homophobic, elements that were largely missing from Scott-Heron's work. Thank you so much for posting so much of his music and sorry for the late comments. It's been one of those Winters (Winter In America?).
