Gil Scot Heron, and you can find it on his album The Revolution Will Not Be Televised. It isn't sung. In fact, it is probably one of the first instances of rap music, but a much more intelligent type, with beatnik overtones. Heron was a member of the Last Poets, a group of black performance artists. He's now an English Professor at NYU.
