One of America’s most influential musicians, has passed away tonight, leaving us shocked and sad. Gil Scott Heron died at the age of 62 years old. His music combined spoken word with jazz, funk, soul and folk. his words were always honest and sharp. He was a key influence on the young rap scene, and the Jazz-Funk scene of the 70′s.
Just recently, Scott Heron has released album of new material, I’m New Here, which at least left his many fans feeling that he managed to produce one more masterpiece before he was taken away from us.
Gil Scott Heron, you will be missed. RIP.
