Gil Scott-Heron’s “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised”
Gil Scott-Heron was a jazz musician and a poet and many have dubbed him the grandfather of hip-hop. He became known for his politically charged songs that tackled social issues. Perhaps his most famous song is the 1970 “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised.” The title comes from a term made popular by the Black Panthers in the 1960s. “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” has been remade, covered and sampled many times since its release.
