He was one of the Artists I have seen in Concert, a few Years ago now, about27 I believe, how time flies!
I remember about 30 years ago in the UK, there was a TV Documentary on BBC 2 on a Sunday Evening, it was called "Black Wax" and it Featured Gil Scott-Heron, his Music, Poetry etc it also featured GSH walking around Washington Dc, showing you the Well Off Parts of the City and the Not So Well off Parts!
That Program was a Great Insight to GSH, his Music and Life, some 20 odd Years later I Purchased it on DVD.
Recently (6 weeks ago) I had to spend a night in Hospital, and it was this DVD I took with me (and the Wife's Portable DVD Player, of course) that was the Best 2 Hours I spent in Hospital and the Quickest!
