If you young people want to learn great soul music listen to Al, James Brown,Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye, Bobby Womack, etc. Al Green is one of the very best that ever did it!
i read where his girlfriend in the 70's threw boiling grits on him while he was in the shower! he said that was a wake-up call to change his life. well, damn!! i think that would've been a wake-up call to me, too!
Im only 15 years old & I listen to this.. mainly because my mom listens to all these oldies. But Im glad she does, cause my generation doesnt know good music. ♥
@redd7188 i went to school with Al.that was GR mich.1966.he lived down the street.he left after high school.try wikepedia before you state some facts that aren't facts
@nomiclas oh....you mean this fact? Green came into contact with band leader Willie Mitchell of Memphis' Hi Records in 1969, when Mitchell hired him as a vocalist for a Texas show with Mitchell's band and then asked him to sign with the label.
@redd7188 memphis got Al after high school.the talent was raised in GR Mich and everybody moves on to better pastures.as a matter of fact Al came back to GR in the 73-74 time frame.he performed at the Limelite.the mayor of GR gave him the key to the city and if memory serves,he rejected it and left abruptly.stating in a press conference that he was treated very poorly when he lived there.i didn't check all these statements but heard most first hand.hope this explains.
It's sad that when I type in "Call Me" in the search bar this doesn't come up. Instead Shinedown, Evenscene, and Chris Brown come up. I have to put Al Green in there. Sad.
One of the greatest soul singers to come out of Memphis, "Soulsville." The one and only Al green, just watching his live band performances on Soul Train shows you just how powerful this man's influence on music was back then and still is today. He is truely a living legend....
@0xoLOKiTAox0 Two totally different artist in my opinion. Like comparing apples and oranges. Marvin is more of a crooner and Al more down-home gospel. Soul music has several genres within the genre and this is a great example of that.
When you have a mixed group of folks at your party..........Al "Mother Fuckin" Green will get them all groovin! He was a Pimp before Pimpin was cool, and he saved many o'marriages!!! Bless
al green is one of the best soul singers of all times. A matter of fact he is to good to be categorized as just one of the best soul singers. He is one of the best voices of all times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love me some Al Green.
