Still listening I was 15 when "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" came out 10th grade,brought it to school. 19 when "Free Will" came out been listening along time. He is still Relavent now as he was then. His last album, I sat in my car and listened to it by myself at night. I feel he knew he wouldn't be here much longer.. I cried. I'm going to be 70 next week still listening to his wise music. My children know of him,and now Grandchildren. His Birthday is April 1st I will be thinking of him then too. Rest in Eternal Peace Mr. Gil Scott Heron.

Glenn, having Pat Tillman as your avatar says a lot about you as a human being. I’m not a big war guy, not very religious either, but I do believe that great people walk among us. Pat Tillman was one of those great people. So was Gil Scot-Heron. If his music never reaches the masses so much the better. It’s a privilege, I think, to be in this exclusive club of Gil’s fans. Check out “Alluswe” from the “First Minute of a New Day” album. My prayer for blacks in America today. Gil nailed it over 40 years ago. RIP Gil!

I don't know that much about Gil's end. I heard he had addiction issues. His early work is so cutting edge and just completely unique, but I know that later in the 70s that kind of style wasn't popular in any demographic and also his writing lost its edge, which was maybe a sign of the times changing. So he had money problems, problems with his art, problems with hard drugs. I've always loved him and his work though, Angola among my top 5. I was sorry hear he had passed.

The over-sentencing epidemic that has raged for 60 years across the United States, including and especially the torturous backwater of Louisiana. This song is NOT about race. It is about police and prison brutality. I am glad you have discovered the song. Now go on to discover the other great Gil Scott-Heron's songs.

It would be great to see this song with clips of the Angola 3, Albert Woodfox (who has already served 43 years in solitary confinement, regardless of how many times a judge has ordered his release), and the view now of Angola re-constructed to imprison thousands of (mainly) black men in SHUs as slave labor for the State of Louisiana.

Joy Wilder The song is about the prison, one of the harshest penal institutions in the US, located in one of the harshest states in the Union, and represents the black stain on the penal practices of the United States. The Angloa 3 are but one of the many injustices of such an institution. Gil Scott had it right.

I never imagined that when I listened to Gil Scott- Heron when Angola, Louisiana first came out that years later I would discover my husband Pete, a haemophiliac had received factor concentrates (contaminated blood) plasma treatment batches traced right back to the prison plasma programme where inmates sold their blood. Pete is dead now. I don't blame the prisoners but a system that exploited both donors and recipients! Gil was a voice for the oppressed. RESPECT!

I've only just discovered this song through the Wikipedia entry for Gary Tyler. I'm very familiar with UB40's "Tyler". I'm glad he was finally freed. Angola sounds like a real hellhole going by the other comments on here. UB40 also wrote another song about Brother Gary in 2008 called "Rainbow Nation" which was featured on their "Twenty Four Seven" album.

Gil once again is ahead of the curve the injustice of Gary Tylers incarceration is still a issue we should take a stand against Bro Tyler is still languishing in a Louisiana prison. Thanks to GSH I am moved by those wrongfully accused of crimes in america.Free all political prisoners!!!!
