Gil Scott Heron was one of the most influential black music artists of his generation. Like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley and Curtis Mayfield his music transgresses all music boundaries, and he is heralded in rock as in soul and jazz circles.
Along with his partner and lyricist Brian Jackson, Gil wrote and recorded some of the most memorable songs of the 70’s always with poignant lyrics. ‘The Bottle’ has been a club favourite since its release in 1973, ‘Johannesburg’ predicted the unrest in South Africa two years before Soweto, ‘Its Your World’ has been in demand for past ten years or so. This album puts together 15 of the best and most in demand of their recordings from 1973 to 1980, and is the first collection covering that period for 15 years.
