Gil Scott-Heron was a New York City–based writer, spoken word performer, poet, and musician whose 1970s songs are known for laying the groundwork for rap music. If you have heard the phrase “The revolution will not be televised,” you have heard the words of Gil Scott-Heron.

He has been called the “godfather of rap,” and his music and words have been sampled by rappers like Common and Kendrick Lamar.
