The beautiful Gil Scott-Heron died yesterday.
If I was into making Best Of lists, GSH’s I’m New Here would have been high atop my list for 2010. But, of course, his legacy stretches much further back than that, at least back to 1970 with the release of Small Talk at 125th & Lenox, which contained the iconic “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”.
If you’re not as familiar with GSH as you’d like to be, you can check out a documentary about him at Self-Titled or read a sketch of his life and career at The Telegraph.
