Gil Scott-Heron (April 1, 1949 – May 27, 2011) was an American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his work as a spoken word performer in the 1970s and '80s, and for his collaborative soul works with musician Brian Jackson. Scott-Heron's recording work has received much critical acclaim, especially for one of his most well-known compositions "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". His poetic style has been influential upon every generation of hip hop since his popularity began. He has been cited as a key influence by many in the hip-hop community, such as rapper-producer Kanye West, who closed his platinum-selling 2010 album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" with a track built around a sample of Scott-Heron's voice. In addition to being widely considered an influence in today's music, Scott-Heron remained active until his death, and in 2010 released his first new album in 16 years, entitled I'm New Here.
