My ongoing series of sharing rarely heard recordings of Gil Scott-Heron continues. This month features Gil’s performance on Saturday Night (now known as Saturday Night Live). Richard Pryor was the host of this episode which aired on December 13, 1975. In the audioblog I share some interesting factoids leading up the airing of the show. And of course I include Gil and his band performing JOHANNESBURG and A LOVELY DAY.
I recommend you download the following mp3 file (right click on ‘#3 GSH AudioBlog’ and ‘SAVE AS’) and then play it off your computer.

Believe you have to consider all aspects in the current economic climate – personally do no think we have seen the full extent of the recesssion, so would be cautious in considering.
