@@LawndaleLancaster-qg1vk I am a true fan of Gil. One of my favorite artist of all time. Through music he definitely tried to enlighten us, but he wasn't the first. Through music there was Nina Simone, The Last Poets, Harry Belafonte, Mahalia Jackson, James Brown, Odetta, Curtis Mayfield, Aretha Franklin and Sam Cooke. Outside of music there was Stokley Carmichael, James Farmer, Malcolm x, Earl Little father of Malcom x, Martin Luther King, Ida B Wells, Marcus Garvey, John Lewis, Frederick Douglas and many more! You've been enlightened!!

I had the pleasure of seeing Gil in concert in the mid 80s - great stuff . Ronnie Holloway, one of his horn players who appears in this film, is still active playing in the area, and also often sits in with many jam bands in the East Coast. Another horn player who appears here, Vernon James, had been playing the Wilmington area until he sadly passed away in early 2017. His son, Vernon James Jr , carries on the traditional of wonderful sax work !
