A Film by Don Letts about Gil Scott-Heron Split into seven parts. 
  Notes respectfully stolen from the BBC website:
Gil Scott-Heron was one of the most influential musicians and poets of the last 50 years. In Don Letts's documentary, Gil tells his own story for the first time - from being one of the first black children to integrate an all-white Southern state school to becoming the Godfather of Rap. There are contributions from Chuck D, Mos Def, Richie Havens and the Last Poets, among others. Filmed in October 2003, Gil performs live and recites poetry out on the streets of Harlem, which have inspired so much of his music.
Scott-Heron's confrontational, no-nonsense street poetry and songwriting skills have inspired the modern Hip-Hop generation. He is perhaps best known for his two 1970s RnB flavoured chart hits - The Bottle and Johannesburg - but his work includes more than 20 albums and two novels. 
Gil has documented, and in many cases anticipated, the massive political and social changes in the United States with anger and integrity. This programme features concert footage and contributions from disciples such as Chuck D and Mos Def. 
Scott-Heron was born in Chicago in 1949 
The musician published two novels, satirical thrillers called The Vulture and The Nigger Factory 
Small Talk at 125th and Lenox was his first collection of poetry, the work was set to music and released as an album which subsequently earned Scott-Heron the title of "the godfather of rap" 
He provided the voice for the well-known advert "You know when you've been Tangoed" 
He received a prison sentence for the possession of cocaine and refused rehabilitation as an alternative to jail
