This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Gilbert "Gil" Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011) was an American soul and jazz poet, musician, and author, known primarily for his work as a Spoken Word performer in the 1970s and 1980s. His collaborative efforts with musician Brian Jackson featured a musical fusion of Jazz, Blues, and Soul, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. His own term for himself was "bluesologist", which he defined as "a scientist who is concerned with the origin of the blues".[1] His music, most notably on Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as Hip Hop and Neo Soul. |
