Gil Scott-Heron "Me and the Devil"

After a 16-year hiatus from releasing a full album, Gil Scott-Heron is back with his new album I'm New Here.  Here's a track, called "Me and the Devil", off that new album.  He's still got it!

Gil Scott-Heron, born 1949, is an American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his late 70's and early 80's work as a spoken word soul performer. His collaborative efforts featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues and soul music, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles. The music of albums such as, Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 70's, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul. Scott-Heron's recording work is often associated with black militant activism and has received much critical acclaim for one of his most well-known compositions "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised".

VIDEO: Tsunami Damage in Pago Pago, American Samoa

It is tragic, yet inspiring, to witness the aftermath of the tsunami that pummeled Samoa yesterday.  As someone of Samoan descent, I lived there as a kid, and still have family there.  From the looks of this video, the recovery and rebuilding efforts will be great.  I have no doubt, though, that resiliency will ensue.  I suspect we'll find that Samoa is equal to the challenge of restoring and renewing the islands, in the face of this disaster.  My thoughts and well-wishes go out to all of them.
