ORIGINAL WHITE "FLYING DUTCHMAN" LABEL WITH PINK AND TURQUOISE FLYING ACE LOGO

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is funky, fluid, deeply conscious, innovative R&B and spoken poetry that contains jazz influences and finds Gil Scott-Heron employing such jazz musicians as flutist Hubert Laws and bassist Ron Carter. Like the Last Poets, Scott-Heron has been described as "one of the first rappers" -- and while he was hardly the first person to speak in rhyme to music, there are definitely parallels between angry sociopolitical poems like "Whitey on the Moon," "No Knock," and "Brother" and hip-hop commentary from the 1980s.

Poetry, however, doesn't dominate this album -- most of the selections illustrate Scott-Heron's excellence as a singer, including "Home Is Where the Hatred Is," "Did You Hear What They Said?," and the poignant "Save the Children". One of the album's less political tracks is "Lady Day and John Coltrane", an R&B classic that articulates how easily jazz can lift a person's spirits.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised wasn't the last word from Scott-Heron (not by far),
but if it had been, his place in history was clearly secured. This is the real deal.
