GIL SCOTT HERON & HIS AMNESIA EXPRESS Schallplatten & CDs

Review: He has been gone several years now but the voice of Gil Scott-Heron still resonates as loudly as anyone's. In the 1970s he was heralded as the successor to Martin Luther King in terms of his thoughts on the Black experience and much of that came in poetic form throughout his recording career. Angry and accurate, socially charged but often singable, the Chicago born Godfather of Rap played all over the world and this album is a recording of a 1983 concert. It is a fine capture of the energy and spirit of Scott-Heron's shows with plenty of his biggest hits included.
