Gilbert “Gil” Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011)was a soul and jazz poet, musician, and author, mostly known for his work as a spoken-word performer in the 1970s and 1980s. He worked with musician Brian Jackson had a blend of jazz, blues, and soul, as well as lyrics with social and political issues of the time, Scott-Heron performed in rapping and melismatic vocal styles. He called himself a “bluesologist” because of his knowledge of blues. Scott-Heron’s musical work is a predecessor to neo-soul and hip hop he is considered to be one of the first rappers. He is best known for his composition” The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” among others. Scott-Heron had a career that lasted over 40 years. In 2012, he received a posthumous Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. I always like to tell the story about how my dad took me to see him perform shortly before he passed away and I bumped into Heron as he was exiting a room in the club he performed in. He is a major influence on the world of poetry, jazz, and hip hop. Scott-Heron is respected, missed, and admired by his fans.
