My father had this record in the basement and this was the first song that really let me know the depth of Brother Gil's soul and intelligence. Beautiful Brother rip.

"You alone have been to Africa To hear the rhythms of the drums And, at the same time, in America You greet the morning sun"

Hi...... This is music for ears who can bring tears!

One of the few musicians that embodied the search for truth and freedom within his music, R.I.P. now you have the ease and tranquility you yearned for on earth the you are truly missed Gil.

Never been too hip to my man til i was almost 30. Good to know that people think the same way. Like readin a holy book. A reminder to the soul

Loved Gil and this song makes me want to cry. RIP

So utterly deep and beautiful!!! (the minor to major is a subtle sweet deep killer).

one of the best musicians ever

So good, so painfully good.

I miss him.......he was brilliant. R.I.P. Gil, may your music live forever!

This is the song that hooked me too. Now I love it all.

one of the most unforgetable vinyls i have

A true poet I recently discovered. Totally amazing.

can't believe it...RIP

Absolutely one of the greatest. RIP Gil🌟

Speechless .........RIP my man........RIP

His words still touch me the same like they did when I first heard them over 30 years ago......"Every closed Eye is not Sleep" RIP Brother Gil.

Gil cant do wrong ....always listening.......

Can't get enough of this song and album. Thank you, algorithm.

Perfect song for this time ✨💓🌟🍃💫✨

One of the greatest!! R.i.p. Gil Scott-Heron....

[Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron] You alone have been to Africa To hear the rhythms of the drums And, at the same time, in America You greet the morning sun I wanted to get word to my brothers But I really didn't know how And not until now Until now [Verse 4: Gil Scott-Heron] Blow, wind, blow Please tell ‘em, “Don't give up the fight” And blow, wind, blow Through the calm and through the storm Blow, wind, blow Between the pages of my life Can't you see? I’m traveling on the wings of time That only you can look ahead And see what's happening as clearly as you see behind Won't you blow, wind, blow Please blow, wind, blow Please blow, wind, blow Blow, wind, blow

The Absolutely best of all time!

Between the sunshine and the rain.

Love his voice,!!!

Once in a lifetime human understanding of life.

So ahead of his time 💘him!!!!

Such a brilliant man so far ahead of his time. This world needs the insight you had to Offer.♥️

Brilliance has to be in your Heart ♥️

Got to be!

smooth song

[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron] Blow, wind, blow Further than a thousand wires Blow, wind, blow Transporter of the clouds Blow, wind, blow Fanner of a thousand fires, yeah Can't you see? That every place you go Well, the people got a need to understand Yes, some people want to know Won't you blow, wind, blow? [Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron] Fly, breeze, fly Like a symbol of the change And fly, breeze, fly ‘Cause only you can conquer time Fly, breeze, fly Between the sunshine and the rain Can't you see? Moving on from place to place That there's a need for peace Written on everybody's face Won't you fly, breeze, fly? [Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron] You alone have been to Africa To hear the rhythms of the drums And, at the same time, in America You greet the morning sun I wanted to get word to my brothers But I really didn't know how And not until now Until now [Verse 4: Gil Scott-Heron] Blow, wind, blow Please tell ‘em, “Don't give up the fight” And blow, wind, blow Through the calm and through the storm Blow, wind, blow Between the pages of my life Can't you see? I’m traveling on the wings of time That only you can look ahead And see what's happening as clearly as you see behind Won't you blow, wind, blow Please blow, wind, blow Please blow, wind, blow Blow, wind, blow
