This was one of the very first songs to address the issues of alcoholism & alcohol abuse! I am a Native Man who was career drinker for 25 years, have been sober for 20 years now. I am now NO longer LIVING IN THE BOTTLE!

I'm an Italian 20 year old fella. After months of knowing about this song I've just decided to comment under one of its videos on KZfaq. I had to leave my mark too on this masterpiece. Gil Scott-Heron you will never be forgotten and your legacy won't be either. It will forever enlighten new generations of people without ceasing, just like it's happened to me. People who have great music taste will always be here. Salute from the most beautiful country in the world, Italy. (2:22 a.m. of the 31st October, 2021). Peace.

Joseph Tammaro.......One of the most visionary song writers, poets and singers of all time - tragically under-rated. We first discovered GSH, Brian Jackson and the Midnight band in 1971 through their album 'Pieces Of A Man'. Then the 'Winter in America' LP [1974] featuring the eponymous 'In the Bottle' - which became a massive Northern Soul crossover hit in the UK. My brother and I were so impressed by GSH and his music we actually wrote to him [via his record label - Strata-East]. We told him how much we loved his music and asked if he ever planned to tour the UK. A few weeks later, we got a package from New York - enclosing a signed [demo] copy of 'From South Africa to South Carolina' - the Midnight Band's upcoming release and a 'thank you' letter from Gil Scott-Heron himself! He mentioned how amazed he was to learn he had fans in the UK and that we had heard about him and his music. He also stated that yes, he planned to tour the UK! We wrote back and thanked him and promised that we would definitely come and see him when he performed. A few months later, he appeared at a well-known but very seedy nightclub in Birmingham - the place was half-empty and nobody seemed to know who Gil Scott-Heron, Brian Jackson and the Midnight Band were. But we enjoyed every second of the concert! We even introduced ourselves to GSH - and got him and the band to autograph one of our copies of the 'Winter in America' LP's [we bought 3 copies in all!] which we took along that night. GSH was incredibly humble and deeply touched that these two teenage British kids knew so much about him! A truly inspirational man - he is greatly missed.

@nickwilliams1065 3 жыл бұрын

As a white kid in 70's Britain I discovered the genius of GSH through a friends older sister. I had little idea about the issues faced by the poor in the USA but through this guys songs soon got the message. As a writer and performer he is as good as anyone as a social commentator he has few equals. Sadly taken before his time like many of his ilk.

I absolutely LOVE the 70’s imagery! Personally, I would drink a lot and never really thought I had a problem with alcohol until I cut it out last year and realized just how much I leaned on it as a crutch to deal with all of my stress and anxiety issues. I would excuse it by saying that I only drank beer and that I only drank on weekends, but I could see it was having an effect on me. I was gaining a ton of weight, was very unhealthy and was slipping deeper into depression. Today, I’m eight months dry, eighty pounds lighter and doing much better. Learning how to cope with stress without alcohol hasn’t always been easy, but it’s definitely been rewarding.

I lost my brother 19 years ago to alcoholism. He stopped drinking when he was ready to cross over because deep down inside, I believe he knew the only way for him to win the fight against alcoholism was for him to stop drinking because he knew his body could not survive if he stopped. He was ready to go. I think the death of our maternal grandfather really hurt him, so he was ready to go even more so after that. I saw him go from a muscular, well built, handsome man into a very very frail shell of a man. He didn't even look like himself. He looked old and had gotten very little. He transitioned 21 days before his 44th birthday and two days before my birthday in February 2002. It hurts me so much up until today! 😭 Hats off to those of you who broke free! ✔💯✔

Maybe the most succinct statement of where we were in the 70's in terms of racism, political unrest and lack of faith in our leaders to create equality. Ghettoism always has, and always will exist, but this song raised conciousness, and we have to thank Gil, Stevie wonder et al for helping us along the way to unveiling the reality of life on the streets.

I was meant to grow up in this era, the music the vibe, sense of community, simplicity. Every generation had/had its vices but there something magical about the 70s. Although I’m an 80s baby but my soul is literally trapped in the 70s.

Hi Larry, I'm a part of you, just like you're a part of me so when you're in pain, I hurt. When you feel Love my world is brighter. We are both living, conscious, Love. And that, my brother, is why you'll never walk alone.

Most underrated yet accomplished artist to have emerged from the dystopia of the South Bronx and Harlem. So cool, so easy he gives you an accurate glimpse of old NY poverty .

I'm a white guy who loves this mans music.. He without doubt wrote the greatest, hard hitting line EVER in any song written... "A doller 09 buys a bottle of wine ".. That's so hard hitting its like granite. And so sadly just as relevant today as in 1974...
