for what it's worth, here is a (sadly unreleased) promo I worked on with Julian House at Intro for Gil.

Some truths about Gil. He's currently out and about in New York, much better than he has been in a number of years. Yes, he's had some well-publicised problems which led to a couple of jail terms, but there was (in his own words) never an I in Scott-Heron. Make of that what you will.
I was lucky enough to meet him many times, hang out with him in New York and London, and have been to more GSH gigs than anyone should be allowed to. The man is a living legend, troubled as we all are by demons (and record companies) but I've got to say one of the most inspiring people I have ever met. I'd love to know what you all make of the promo, I'm very proud of it.
This is what his publisher wrote on his last jail term, in 2001.
