About Playlist
Gil Scott-Heron is a central figure in American music, his influence felt far beyond his personal success. Born in Chicago, IL, on April 1, 1949, but later raised in New York City, Scott-Heron's mastery of words was identified at a young age; he graduated from the prestigious Fieldston School, as one of only five black students. With the spoken word poetry at the onset of his career evolving into a form of jazz-soul-funk with "sing-talk" lyrics addressing socio-political issues, Gil Scott-Heron is often regarded as the first rapper/mc. Gil Scott-Heron, who died at the age of 62 in May 2011, leaves behind a catalog of crucial work, including 1971's Pieces of a Man featuring the legendary poem-song "The Future Will Not Be Televised" and 2010's surprise comeback album, I'm New Here.
