Album

Pieces of a Man is the first studio album by American vocalist Gil Scott-Heron. It was recorded in April 1971 at RCA Studios in New York City and released later that year by Flying Dutchman Records. The album followed Heron's debut live album Small Talk at 125th and Lenox 1970 and departed from that album's spoken word performance, instead featuring compositions in a more conventional popular song structure. Track List: 1 The Revolution Will Not Be Televised 2 Save the Children 3 Lady Day and John Coltrane 4 Home Is Where the Hatred Is 5 When You Are Who You Scott-Heron's 1971 album Pieces of a Man set a standard for vocal artistry and political awareness that few musicians will ever match. His unique proto-rap vocal style influenced a generation of hip-hop artists, and nowhere is his style more powerful than on the classic The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. Even though the media - the very entity attacked in this song - has used, reused, and recontextualized the song and its title so many times, the message is so strong that it has become almost impossible to co-opt.

Released in 1971, Pieces of a Man was Gil Scott-Herons debut studio album and follow-up to the 1970 live album, Small Talk at 125th and Lennox. As Scott-Herons most critically acclaimed album, it is notable for being a musical fusion of jazz-funk and soul, and for its influence upon subsequent hip-hop artists. Pieces of a Man famously includes some of Scott-Herons most well known songs Home Is Where the Hatred Is which demonstrates social disillusionment, and the classic track, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised which forms a critique of mass media and government. Let's get one thing straight - Pieces of a Man doesn't even start until the third track. Don't get suckered in by the two before it. But then the album proper kicks in - and it's very, very good. The last 8 songs on here all fall in line with the soul of the very early '70s - think a Curtis that replaces an orchestra with a chamber band, or a What's Going On that replaces head-in-the-clouds wistfulness with earthy indignation, or a There's A Riot Goin' On without the drugs. It's smooth in its execution, but it's stern and solid in its message - Home Is Where the Hatred Is, Or Down You Fall, and The Prisoner being the finest examples of the latter. Pieces Of A Man.
