Spent 1968 with Gil at LINCOLN U. In rural Pennsyvania . Was not a good fit for him and he moved on .He was very generous with his time and helped us all gr0w . You can get real feel for the times from RED BULL interview with Brian Jackson . We all hung out in theater building which had language labs at one end. Gil was true poet. Brian was the music . But by time I graduated in 1971 Gil had first album out . The rest was HIStory. Love "angel Dust".
I've always known African Americans played a part in my making my get grt grt grt grt grandad was a runaway slave from Africa and he was caught and was put in chains til death. R.I.P
I haven’t found a song to relate to like this, I was addicted to coke for 5 years from 15 to 20 years old , many of my friends saw me turn into a ghost and it took every dollar from me.. I’m clean from what I was like, but now in a relationship for two years and have a one year old girl I keep clean but still itch badly for my next bump or grind.. once your hooked it gots you by the throat
I have no idea what going it father Day I'm stuk u mother's fukers having a good time with my kids and I have no idea where Jessica?????. Umm I wonder where she is.. basically these problems are from her. Yes it true.. please don't play snob high post prissy I don't like that shit at all if u think it burger King have it your way…I'm positive some pieces of shit getting involved stop us from seeing each other. I pray and hope that what it is because I don't play second to no one..star power don't mean shit to me walk right by blow u the fuk off.

The Brother Was Way Ahead of Everyone,No Respect Till He Died
D-SHOT
Gil and Rick James quite possibly the 2 most iconic figures in black music EVER round at my house .
My coworker heard me playing this and said “…Gil Scot Heron??” Needless to say he my favorite coworker ever from that question alone
This is an absolutely amazing rare piece of music. It is not emulating funk/soul like many try, it is an actual funk/soul song
Sounds so much like today's Fetty problem.
The secretary of entertainment is going to introduce you to
The melody because we'd like to have you join in
And help us sing a song called Angel Dust
S'pose you dd, ha!
Brothers and sisters and friends, what you have just experienced
Is called revival sphere
It's got a lovely voice
Angel dust
Come on sing with us the second time
We get the tune, we want y'all to come in
One, two, one, two
Angel dust
Come on everybody, sing with us now
Ay, it's angel dust…
Y'all in the back got to sing out here
(Angel dust)
One more time, everyone
(Angel dust)
Alright, we got it nearly done
'Cause he was groovin'
And that was when he coulda sworn
The room was movin'
Hey, but that was only in his mind
'Cause he was sailin'
He never really seemed to notice
Vision failin', hey
'Cause that was all part of the high
The sweat was pourin'
And he couldn't take it
The room was exploding
He might not make it, sing
Angel dust
Oh sing it right, I got to sing it
They said it was angel dust
Said don't need nobody, no good
Angel dust
But down some dead end streets
There ain't no turnin' back
Yeah, sometimes it comes sneakin' up on us
Angel dust
They were standin'
Well everybody in a circle
The whole family, yes
Listening to the preacher's words
Sis was cryin'
'Cause she alone knew the secrets
'Bout his dyin'
You see tears fallin' to earth
Maybe her fault
'Cause he was so trusting
And God only knew why
They was dustin', sing
Angel dust
Angels, alright, it's alright
Well somebody need to tell my sister about dust
It don't mean nobody, no good, no where
It's angel dust
It might seem like I just want more good time
But down some dead end streets
There ain't no turnin' back
To back, to back away
Away, away
I'm talkin' about the way, I mean
Send him away…
Hey there!
Hey, got to be there
I used to know, got to be there
I used to know, gotta be there, sing
Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
Somebody say down the way it's gon' be alright
Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
It's cool keep goin', keep goin', it's cool, everything gon' be alright
Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
Sisters, fathers, you don't worry, don't you worry everything gon' be alright
It gon' be alright, be alright, be alright, be alright
Heard somebody say that it gon' be alright
Everything gon' be alright, everything gon'
Everything gon', everything gon', everything he said
Hey, listen
I heard, he told me
Everything gonna be alright, everything
Everything gonna be alright, alright
Everything gonna be alright, alright
He was holdin' me down
Everything gonna be alright, everything gonna be alright
I was counting on you
You told me, got to be there
I used to know
'Cause he was groovin'
And that was when he coulda sworn
The room started movin'…
He was sayin', 'cause that was all part of the high
The sweat was pourin'
And he couldn't take it
The room was exploding
Might not make it, sing (angel dust)
Tuck you in and say, somebody said it's angel dust
It don't mean nobody no good (angel dust)
It might seem like I just want more good time
Down some dead end street, ain't no turning back
To back, to back, to back, away
Away
Angel dust
It might seem like I just want more good times
Down some dead end street, ain't no turning back
Robert Gordon, the secretary of entertainment
On the bass, Ron Halloway, tenor saxophone
And it's called, "Angel Dust"
Thank you
