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!

Yep i turn round and look when ad comes on.

Simply be catalogue addy.

I heard it the other day , I had to stop and make sure I was not hearing things

Heard that too Jordi! Did a double-take meself! 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?

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.

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

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

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.

One of the best live acts i have seen.

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!...

Ditto. Kentish Town in the 80's. Sadly missed, reckon he died of disappointment with Obama.
