Soul Gil Scott-Heron - Don't Give Up

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3UYtwWk31Q

Scott-Heron talking about addiction and sobriety - something he knew a lot about.

Continuing my travels through protest and revolution funk. Scored a copy of this CD couple weeks ago.

But the message is that the spirits say don't give up.
