Description:
Black Wax, a 1982 documentary recently reissued on video, finally gives recognition to Gil Scott-Heron, an early and often overlooked figure in rap music. The film combines performance footage of Scott-Heron and his Midnight Band with scenes of him walking through Washington D.C., sharing his perspectives on President Reagan and offering insightful commentary. The live performances showcase many of Scott-Heron's most famous songs, including "Johannesburg," "Winter in America," and "Angel Dust." Throughout the film, Scott-Heron appears warm, intelligent, and engaged as he expresses his views. It’s essential viewing for fans of his work and highly recommended for those who enjoy the funkier jazz of the mid to late 1970s.
