Mr. Brown toured with the Midnight Band and appeared on the albums-"The First Minute Of A New Day", "From South Africa To South Carolina", and finally-one of the best live albums ever-"It's Your World"(which featured as a then-new studio cut called "Sharing", which in addition to being the best last song on a album ever-is also the only song written by GSH that wasn't recorded with his great voice as the lead vocal. The jaw-dropping vocal on this gem is by...........Mr. Victor Brown.
Brian's voice in this song just blows me away. I've always loved his voice. I miss Brother Gil so much. Like so many I've taken Gil's message for granted & didn't honor him while he was w/ us. For this I am truly sorry. I salute you Brothers Gil & Brian for your contibution for solidarity & freedom. RIP GSH
One of my favs of Gil Scott-Heron. However, the great backing voice on this live track taken GSH's 1st album "Small Talk at 125th and Lennox"-is that of Mr. Victor Brown, in whose early band called Black & Blues featured fellow university students Brian Jackson & GSH. But of course since Mr.Brown's connection to these two great artists didn't stop here, I won't end there...........When GSH & BJ started the Midnight Band, it featured on second vocals-a gentleman by the name of Victor Brown....
The messages remain the same. Don’t get caught in that mindset it’s like beating ur self up over something you can’t control. Be glad you’re here now 🙂

...Rest in Peace Gil Scott Heron!!!
Love this song, love Brian Jackson's ad-libs
David Barnes I meant not Brian Jackson
damn it... what an amazing artist!
I wished I knew about this guy when he was alive.
TheAcidHairball I said the same thing
