18/11/2019: “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised” by Gil Scott-Heron

One of those songs where each listen brings new rewards – the lyrics run deep with cultural references.

The track was initially recorded in 1970 on Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, in a more stripped back form, but was re-recorded with a band and released as the B-side to ‘Home Is Where The Hatred Is’ in 1971.
