Al Green
The gritty, feel-good music of Al Green is rooted in the church; his soulful adlibs are cray! With songs like “Love and Happiness,” “Simply Beautiful,” “For the Good Times,” and “Let’s Stay Together,” Green had the R&B/soul scene on lock in the early 70s. After being assaulted and severely burned by his deranged girlfriend of the time (who killed herself soon after), he looked at life differently and turned a new leaf towards gospel music. Green became an ordained pastor and released upwards of seven gospel albums throughout the 1980s. He slowly inched back to R&B with the 1994 LP “Don’t Look Back.” Check out both sides of Mr. Green below.
