Vintage Crates Special: Brother Soul
This one is dedicated to the memory of Gil Scott-Heron, an artist who has been a huge influence to me personally. Simple words can’t express the magic he created through his music & poetry.
Rest in Power.

Rest in power my brother…
Like you, I was really touched and moved by his words and music. This is a great tribute. When I lost my dad last year, I used to listen to the “Parents” interlude from his album “I’m New Here” over and over again and it really helped me. Rest in Power Gil-Scott Heron!
Thanks for your story. “Lady Day & John Coltrane” has meant alot to me, as I felt the words were so direct to what I was feeling.
If you’re feeling just down and out and don’t know just what to dooo-ooo!
Gil’s telling people pull them Coltrane and Billie Holiday records out, maybe we’ll feel better. I couldn’t agree more, I love the message of that joint too. Valerie, I’ve heard the new album a few times, but after hearing your story, that’s a good reason for me to own that record.

All of Gil’s records are great. His sound has always amazed and captivated me. I’ve been listening to his records non stop for the last week.
