I first listened to Gil Scott-Heron in the late 60s. He was highly intelligent, a great performer, and a master wordsmith who accurately portrayed the America of his time with his poetry. Sadly most of what he wrote is still 100% relevant in today's America. It would be time well spent if the young people that are taking to the streets to protest would listen to what he has to say.

Gil Scott-Heron is a legend, and his influence on the worlds of music and poetry is immeasurable. This is a wonderful showcase of the albums he created at the start of his career, with empathetic, insightful lyrics interwoven with his jazz/funk/soul stylings. This is a must for any music lover.
