About this album
A landmark compilation of Gil Scott-Heron’s politically charged spoken-word soul, this 1974 release helped define the voice of Black cultural protest in modern music. Blending rhythm and blues, funk and sharp social commentary, it gathers some of his most enduring early work, including the title track, ‘Whitey on the Moon’ and ‘The Revolution Will Not Be Televised’. Scott-Heron’s delivery is urgent and musical, turning poetry into performance and protest into art. The record helped establish him as one of the most important and influential voices of the era, shaping later hip-hop, spoken word and conscious soul.
