Gil Scott-Heron (born April 1, 1949) is an American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his late 1960s and early 1970s work as a spoken word soul performer and his collaborative work with musician Brian Jackson. His collaborative efforts with Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues and soul music, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron. The music of these albums, most notably Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul. Scott-Heron's recording work is often associated with black militant activism and has received much critical acclaim for one of his most well-known compositions "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". On his influence, Allmusic wrote "Scott-Heron's unique proto-rap style influenced a generation of hip-hop artists"

Betty Davis
is an American funk, rock and soul singer. She was also Miles Davis’s second wife. After the breakup of her marriage with Miles Davis, Betty moved to London to pursue her modeling career. She wrote music while in the UK and returned to the US with the intention of recording songs with Santana. Instead, she organized a group of talented West Coast funk musicians to make her own recordings.
Her first record, Betty Davis, was released in 1973. It had impressive lyrics and funky grooves on songs such as “Anti Love Song,” as well as an impressive list of musicians:
• Neal Schon (Santana/Journey) – guitar
• Gregg Errico (Sly & The Family Stone) – drums
• Larry Graham (Sly & The Family Stone and eponym of Graham Central Station) – bass
• Patryce Banks (Graham Central Station) – percussion
• Willie Sparks (Graham Central Station) – drums
• Hershall Kennedy (Graham Central Station) – horns
• Greg Adams (Tower of Power) – horns
• Mic Gillette (Tower of Power) – horns
• Merl Saunders – electric piano
• Pete Sears – acoustic piano
• The Pointer Sisters – background vocals
Davis released two more studio albums, They Say I’m Different (1974) and Nasty Gal (1975). None of the three albums were commercial successes. Davis remained a cult figure as a singer, due in part to her open sexual attitude, which was controversial for the time. Some of her shows were boycotted and her songs not played on the radio due to pressure by religious groups. With the passage of time her records have become highly regarded by collectors of soul and funk music. Davis eventually stopped making music and returned to Pennsylvania. Both Betty Davis and They Say I’m Different were re-released by Seattle’s Light in the Attic Records on May 1, 2007.
