 Gil Heron
Gil Heron is the father of poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron, known primarily for his late 1960s and early 1970s work as a spoken word performer, and his association with African American militant activism.
Before his move to the UK, Gil Heron had been the top goalscorer in the 1946 season of the American Soccer League, playing for the Detroit Wolverines http://nas.americakicks.com/archive/2005/msg07249.html.
After that he signed for American club Detroit Corinthians, and was spotted by a scout from Celtic, while Celtic were on a North American tour; he was later signed up by the Scottish club in 1951.

This was the first CD I bought by Gil Scott Heron and it prompted me to get all the CD's of his that are still in print and search for copies of those that aren't.
Although Gil Scott Heron was known for playing a Fender Rhodes, I don't feel like this makes his work here sound dated.
Heron's music can be shocking, but it forces you think.

 Amazon.ca: Music: Easy Listening 4 Armageddon [Import]
Mike is obviously looking the stretch the boundaries of rap, by making something of substance and forward thinking, much in the same way as 'Gil Scott Heron' did in the the 70's.
But Ladd remembers something else that many would-be poets who followed Scott-Heron have forgotten: as compelling and evocative as his words can be, it's the music that gives them their staying power.
Ladd makes comparison with Scott-Heron sensible in large part due to his lyrics, which don't forget the humor ("I'm Building a Bodacious Bodega for the Race War") even as they tackle serious aspects of racism and politics.

He toured sporadically -- including a 1987 U.S. jaunt with Gil Scott-Heron, whom the poet calls "a brother that I identified with, and with whom I found real mutual respect" -- and put out a few albums, but he concentrated mainly on England's sociopolitical environment, until the early '90s.
Soon after hearing African-American musical bards the Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron and the grooved-out chats of reggae MCs Big Youth and U-Roy, Johnson began performing his work with the drumming group Rasta Love.
Despite his short stature, the poet cuts a somber, formidable figure, in his trademark natty suit and tie, with a serious face framed by spectacles and a fedora.

Other members of the group include percussionist Larry McDonald (Gil Scott-Heron, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh), keyboardist Brian Jackson (Gil Scott-Heron), trombonist Aaron Johnson (Antibalas), and vocalist Ashanti Roy (The Congos).
The group's self-titled debut album is packed with ten dubwise tracks that will give goose bumps to fans of old school roots dub as well as the active Adrian Sherwood sound.
In fact, it was at the live Dub Side of the Moon show in Richmond, VA that I met him while he was working the boards.

It's Your World, originally released in 1976, is a Gil Scott-Heron live recording.
Truly, one of the champion artistic spokesmen of the times, Heron's bassy, gravel-voiced blues style awakened underclass blacks to their political landscape, while evoking the challenges facing black men and women as they strove to survive with one another.
A griot in the truest sense of the word, whose message must be transmitted from generation to generation in the same way in which my mentor revealed Heron's work to me. There are few artists who emit this type of importance to their own culture and beyond.

 the loud bassoon online zine - concerts: gil scott-heron & terry callier @ metro, chicago 11 october 1998
Of course, I'm not the only Whitey to "discover" Gil Scott-Heron "first," and plenty of us turned out to see the man in action at Chicago's Metro for a booty-shakin' extravaganza of funk-ass funk-assin'.
The only way I can think of to bring him to superstar status would be a weekly variety show in which Gil would perform his songs and appear in comical sketches like in "Hee Haw." I can already see the headline in Variety: "REVOLUTION TO Review by Adrienne Doublestack
Terry Callier opened up with a tight band featuring Callier on guitar and vox, augmented by percussion, electric guitar, bass, and sax/flute.

"...Floetry's music flirts with the spoken-word genre, which had its heyday in the late 1960 and peaked in the '70s with the likes of Nikki Giovanni, the Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron.

 DJ Shadow
The spirit of Coltrane, the Last Poets and Gil Scott-Heron ("the revo, the revo, the revolution… " says Heron, sampled within) are recalled through sweetly flying flutes, discordant saxophone and low-fi bongos.
Using the textural ambience of hollow trip-hop and the feeling of a tone poem (without the words) as he did on his debut Endtroducing, Shadow does more than spin sound.
DJ Shadow’s no comedian, but’s definitely a cut-up — a slice ’n’ dice edit king who takes heart in Afro-Americana for his spacey Morricone-like poundtrack epics.
