Crucial Vinyl: Gil Scott-Heron's Pieces of a Man

The Don's Crucial Vinyl, an album that has shaped his musical taste, is Gil Scott-Heron's 1971 album Pieces of a Man.

Each week Don selects a piece of Crucial Vinyl (an album that has shaped his musical taste and helped make him who he is). He features three tracks from it and explains why it means so much to him.

This week he picks Gil Scott-Heron's 1971 release Pieces of a Man.

Don made a documentary about Gil and says, "This was the American jazz and soul poet's debut studio album and his first collaboration with Brian Jackson. Its innovative blend of soul, jazz, funk and poetry are a clear influence on later dance, rap and hip-hop music".
