Over the weekend, we lost the poet and soul singer Gil Scott-Heron; he died in New York on Friday at the too-young age of 62. And as Black America Web reports (via the Daily Swarm), well-wishers will be able to celebrate Scott-Heron's memory at a memorial service tomorrow morning. The service is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. at New York's Riverside Church, and there will also be a public viewing in the evening at the Frank E. Campbell Funeral Home, located at 81st St. and Madison Ave.
