Posted October 26, 201410 yr I'm sure I just heard an advert on the tv using Gil Scott Heron's 'When You Are Who You are'. Except it wasn't Gil, it was someone else, but it still sounded ace! Aviva website I think? Never mind Northern, funky crossover's gone mainstream!
October 26, 201410 yr I heard it the other day , I had to stop and make sure I was not hearing things

Pretty sure it was the GSH version though. They sometimes tamper with things for adverts don't they - speed up a bit or equalise for TV sound?
October 26, 201410 yr Yeah, it's deffo the GSH version, as I wasn't sure it was him myself, I paused the tv and then used Shazam, came up with GSH.
October 26, 201410 yr Cool track and you are not wrong ... Had the great pleasure of seeing the great man at one ( if not thee ) last concerts over here Open Air Somerset House ..still had it then ... Great tune https://www.tvadmusic.co.uk/2014/09/simply-be-kelly-brook-autumn-2014/
October 27, 201410 yr and now theres money to be made on gil...they`ve taken the you tube vids down..well mines been removed anyway..parasites
October 27, 201410 yr Different stuff but The Glories' I Worship You Baby popped up randomly as background music in an episode of Drifters I was watching the other night (bingewatched the whole series one evening and there's no other Northern in there). Dx
October 27, 201410 yr Yep I heard it the other day, didn't sound like GSH to me though, I've got pieces of a man LP and played it next to the AD, vocals sound different to me, but like said above they could have tampered with it, fantastic track though.

October 28, 201410 yr Really don't think its the Gil Scott Heron version based on the one and only time I saw the ad. Pity he's not still here to make a few quid out of it. ...although I like to think he wouldn't have sold his music out to The Man. Then again, he did do the 'You know when you've tangoed' voiceover!...
