When I lived in midtown Memphis my next door neighbor was a 80 years old woman driving her big old Cadillac when she had a flat in 1981.Some black man offered to change her flat but she was scare and he finally talk to her long enough and said he was a preacher and that work. He change the flat in a new suit which was all wrinkle up when he got through and she try to pay him and he didn’t take it. He told her his name and it didn’t register with the old lady until somebody told her that was Al Green the famous soul singer. He is a great man and a great Christian.

I saw Al Green midday on a Glastonbury Sunday. I am not confident I'd been to sleep in the previous 48 hours. There was a lot of dance music and a lot of rock'n'roll. It's also true that my and my friends where in a HIGHly emotional state. The reverend came on in an all white suit bearing roses to share his gift and his love. It was honestly the greatest thing I ever saw or heard. Could soothe any soul. A gift from god.

Happy 76th Birthday today April 13, 2022 to the great Al Green, born April 13, 1946. Al Green is one of the most enduring soul singers of the rock era, and is considered by many the most important male singer since Sam Cooke. He has also been referred to as "The Last of the Great Soul Singers." His early 70s work on Hi Records sounds as good today as it did then, and his legend has continued to grow over the past quarter century even as he generally turned his back on popular music. Green is the winner of 11 Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. He has also received the BMI Icon award and is a Kennedy Center Honors recipient. He was included in the list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, ranking at No. 65, as well as its list of the 100 Greatest Singers, at No. 14.
