Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - Bridges [full album][HQ] 

Wake UP to brother Gill since I WAS 17. I'm 66 NOW. Got da grandkids grovin to my brother.

Was a former Gil Scott-Heron groupie. Lots of nights at the Bottom Line. Anyway I miss his perspective on this world we're in. It's a Gil Scott Heron kind of month for me. He gave us music, message and the spirit of reality. RIP Brother Gil. Your music opened my Spirit.

Gil I was blessed to hear Gil in 1974 Winter In America at 17 I became a disciple im 67 now he was the original rapper Rest in Peace Sir

There was a radio station here in NY called WRVR they would play an entire new album when it came out. The next day I literally ran down the street to go to a record store called J&R's Music World to buy the album which I ran into the ground. Gil was a helluva band leader! The good old days. Thanks and rest in power Gil, you made me open up my mind.

GSH a unique brilliant talent combining poetry and music. He should of gotten the Nobel Prize for literature.

I'm a white guy from a small town in Scotland, Kirkcaldy, me and my pals thought he was righteous!

I saw GIl Scott-Heron shortly before he died too soon. Was lucky enough to get him to autograph my Pieces of a Man album. He sounded excellent and had a great sense of humor. Putting this man in jail for drugs was so wrong. What a voice, musician, philosopher, poet. His autobiography is worth reading too.

Gil's voice just kills me... A true legend.

I saw Gil, Brian and the band do this entire album at The Bottom Line Club here in N.Y.C. I nearly went into shock when they sounded just like the studio album. I have this lasting memory locked in my head.These were the good old days listening to live music instruments cooking up the air.

He was teaching while living it. He was even teaching while he was dying. I heard him then, I hear him now. Same issues.

I'm a 66 year old white man from the West side of Detroit. I have listening to GSH ever since I saw him at this club by Wayne State called Alvin's on Cass. Been a fan ever since.

one time i just happened to see this album cover out of nowhere, and thought... these two brothers look SERIOUS. I gotta hear what they can do. Needless to say... I wasn't let down.

'Underrated' is a word used a lot, But this is a genuine underrated masterpiece ❤

Black Conciousness In Rythym, Gil was the quintessential artist who ascended to something much more.

GSH- An African American soul and jazz poet, musician, and author. I can listen to him any time, One of the all Time Greats.

Bridges are what we should all be building amongst each other, instead of putting up walls of division and separation. Gil & Brian had the message correct in 1977 when this was released. This music and the messages within each song are still on point!

I was born in 1998. Live a life in the south of Brazil. I know nothing about what really happened back in those days, but I get touched by these wholesome comments. Thanks for enhancing this music experience. GHS got another fan, so as you guys.

This album is timeless

I loved this album and was always a fan of Gil-Scott since I heard "In the Bottle". He was a great song writer and poet, every time I listen to his music, I think about my youth, the promise, the challenges that were to come. Gil-Scott help me feel good about myself as an African-American. He and Brian Jackson did a tremendous service to Black America, they made of think deeply and feel empowered.

Wow. Born 1969. I just discovered GSH via its Lady Day and John Coltrane hit. Came here to listen to. Love it. So sophisticated yet musical and poetic. Very distinct pronunciation as I am not native English. I always come back to the 70s for their inventivity.

What an album. Brothers were in a zone when writing this album.

Timeless good blues/jazz/soul/funk music ! R.I.P Gill Scott-Heron you will be greatly remembered for your great contribution to conscious good music.

This type of REAL is lacking today in 2018. Gil stood for the fight against injustice. We need this music more now than ever.

It was 1975, I was 15, this cool older white boy who happened to be my MUSIC as EXPRESSION TEACHER turned me out and on to Gil, it was Winter in America. Been a fan ever since, with my personal collection on wax lol. I'm 66, and it is 2024!

That is absolutely correct..Bro. Gil was as real of a black man in person as he was on the stage..no pretense.. I had the very good fortune of making his acquaintance many times ...he was humble each time...he was like an older brother to me..Bro. Gil you're with the 👼 angels now

This is so good. I love black music. Congratulations.

95 south, one of my favorites songs, nice mellow music with deep meaning. The old school music.

Woah...first time hearing Song of the Wind. Just picked me up and blew me away! GSH is forever.

dang you start listening to steely dan then you drift peacefully to gil...man too smooth for me...almost chilled out LOL. love Gil as i age disgracefully

An original poet and a true man of the earth. WE were blessed to have him in our midst,

One of the best albums ever !!

He was a special brother, I loved him. He would give you this huge smile and huge you back in a brotherly way and he recognized it. I heard him do this entire album at the jazz club THE BOTTOM LINE and him and Brian tore the damn place up, it sounded just like the lp.. Man those were the good old days, I swear.

He foretold what we are going thru now peace to brother Gil

Who the fuck could put a dislike on this classic????

The brother was light years ahead of its time because what he's saying back then you can apply right now today!

What a beautiful day now I've discovers this for the first time. Pure art.

Those synths on Racetrack in France, just wow.

beautiful voice- amazing- always love Song of the Wind

RIP ...wish i saw his performance. Great music. This is what the kids need to listen too.

Gil was a brilliant artist, he put things where I could see it through his music.

This album brings tears to my eyes

I never post. so thanks Gil for helping me find my voice. Wonderful to read the thoughts of others who were touched by him in the comments below. aged 19 in 1991 a girlfriend played me 'no knock' and told me the wonderful news that he regularly gigged in europe. . . .Saw him regularly over the next decade, some of the clearest memories i have from gigging, the whole venue absolutely mesmorized by Gil and co. particularly at festivals where many of the crowd didn't know him before. His political stuff is insightful and absolutely as relevant today as it was then. I listen to him often and along with the head shaking awe of his music I realise he changes how i feel inside about life, gives me fire , inspires, .you know-..today's the day !!

Blesses that music like this exists🙏🏾💜☮️

i’ve been playing this album obsessively since uncovering it 3 days ago. incredible artistry, this is music.

I love this album!

Yes! I'm grooving in my office! Thank you Messrs. Scott-Heron and Jackson!

I miss that man so much... thank God we still have his music to keep us going!

I have been listening to from the age 17 my oldest is 44 and my youngest 40 they grow up on GSH one of the best teachers and myself love the brother very much so SALAAM my dear brother.

I lost a mentor and a teacher who opened my eyes to my wellbeing and he taught me truth in a blind world ,full of lost truths and pseudo intellectuals who are determined and he'll bent to keep It that way.

My big sister introduced me to this amazing artist one summer home from college. My musical knowledge of the world was increased instantly.

This is the sort of record you could wear out multiple copies of and be happy about it.

He blew up the mind of this, then young Norwegian sailor, in a New York club in 1974 -with his "Whitey on the moon".

I saw him perform at least once in the in each decade from the 70's through 2000's. Truly missed😎

Absolutely love it!

I feel so happy i grew up beside mom who was music agent and PR in Europe..I grew up and learned so much..still learning..crying..fighting..Not for a higher cause, but for freedom of speech, civil rights..If I mooved one person with my radio shows where was all about fun and education like Mr Gil did with his music, then, my life is fullfiled, but music was on a first place....RIP. god Bless You, Mr Gil.....I was 7 years old in 1977. old school bad ass. Luuuuv to all of U! Duska Cavic Zozi /Josie/Zsozsi

Saw Dynamo' walk into a music store and asked the dude to pick any record to himself!!..Dynamo then picked it right out...It was this album, an I thought I'd give it a listen..glad I did..nice chilled album...thx dynamo

I'm listening to this in 2019 having just come across his autobiography that brought me here. this is my kind of music.

I feel in love after hearing a song called "THE BOTTLE" awesome talent.

I keep hearing Stevie Wonder's 'Boogie on Reggae Woman'. Gil Scott was a national treasure. He needs to get more flowers.

"Thank you, Gil Scott-Heron, for being a driving force for rap and hip-hop, as your innovative style laid the groundwork for these genres. Your courage in addressing social issues has inspired generations of artists to promote change. Your legacy endures as a source of inspiration for those seeking to use art as a tool for positive change."

Peace and blessings be-to the soul of brother Gil Scott-Heron as he has transition on to the greatest spiritual existence of being. Gil through his musical genius, lyrically communicated the soul and pulse of the heart, experiences and pain, of the conditions plaguing displayed African people in "Amerikkka". As she (Amerikkka) super-imposing her will and ill-intent to captivate, steal, and control Afrikan people's natural, creative, spiritual accord for progress and elevation. There is so many points that can be expressed about the quality and poignant words composed in the messages reflecting this brother's culture shaking and inspiration to the music industry, as well to all people who would hear his voice paired with the musical arrangements of the songs he sang, and the poems he uttered. This tribute of recognition is a testimony to his influence in the mental development of this writer's life along with so many other brothers and sisters, standing for truth, freedom, peace, justice, equality, and liberation. Gil's vibrational soul impinging words are a powerful ingredient to the recipe for soul liberation to self-identity, expression and cultural advancement. Considering the knowledge, awareness and understanding Brother G. S. Heron, has armed this writer with throughout my lifetime, as well as the person it shaped me to become. Long live one of our noble kings who sojourned in AmeriKKKa for freedom and deliverance!

Song of the wind and We almost lost Detroit are my two faves! Long live GSH and B-Jack.

The mans music was totally of his time and of the future.

This LP, Cassette, CD will never get old its speaks to every generation if they are introduced to it by the Parents, Grand Parents, Uncles, Aunts and cousins that's what keeps our music alive through out the ages. Spead the Music and Love at the same time then watch the mericle happen. The joy spreads like the cool breeze 😊

Love this entire album, so much soul and depth. RIP Mr. Scott-Heron, you live on through this great music you've left us.

Without doubt one of most underrated LP of all time !

I bought this album & loved it. I moved & it got placed in storage by mistake. Thank God for You Tube!

all love froom Brazil, just perfect

Dieser Mann war erleuchtet. Bin stolz darauf diese Platte in Vinyl zu besitzen, höre Sie nun immer wieder seit ich 17 war, auch jetzt nach 35 Jahren immer noch Gänsehaut...

This Album is Life changing and is ABSOLUTELY SUPREME ❤❤❤:):):))))))))))))))))))

GSH gave up so much for us. He sacrificed his health and well being to be a clear channel for all the universal truth that flowed through him. I will love him to my last breath. High price to pay when you have deep love for African Descended people.

this is so good. I've only ever heard a couple songs from this album before but the entire album is absolutely amazing. I gotta listen to his other albums all way through instead of just random songs.

one of the great albums....miss this guy!

How many times have we almost lost Detroit??? Damn...things don't change in America...

Note to self - Under The Hammer 19:36 & We Almost Lost Detroit 23:41 are heart Melting

Blow wind blow LOVE through My SOUL!!❤❤❤:):):))))))) GREAT VIBRATIONS

Extremely relevant, during every age.Speaking directly to his people with precision.

So true and funky love the message.

l love you Gil and thank you for being a beautiful poet and musical genius you have always given the world a most precious gift, GOD BLESSED YOU, rest in peace my brother ♡☆♡☆♡.

I was 19 years old and heard Gil for the first time. I searched at so many record shops for one of his records and found this one. This particular shop had a “listening station” and I put this on and turned it off after a few seconds because I knew! I tell my friends and loved ones if the house is burning down, this is the thing you save for me. It’s the pinnacle of incredible music. Thank you Gil and Brian for creating this, see you on the other side

Thanks for playing some Gil Scott Heron. Man I miss that man's style!! What else can I say. Cept he was the best! Maurice

some of the greatest artist ever!!!

Simply one of a kind

Thank Goddess for the classic in this dismal era of music.
