Yes, young folks out there, back in the '70s--feels like the 1870s--I went to an Al Green concert at the long-defunct Westchester Premiere Theater. (Great venue--also saw Barry White, Jerry Lee Lewis, many others there, but, again, I digress.) Al Green was absolutely the coolest performer I'd ever seen to that point. Soul and smooth personified. "Tired Of Being Alone", "Full Of Fire", "L-O-V-E" and on and on. Recently in Memphis, we missed an opportunity to see the Rev. Al in his church, but a great DJ here in NY, John Platt of WFUV-FM, said it was an incredible experience. Whether preaching the gospel or singing about love, Al Green is still and will always be "Mr. Soul."
"Tired Of Being Alone:" "Let's Stay Together": "You Ought To Be With Me": "Sha-La-La":
"Take Me To The River":
"L-O-V-E":
"How Can You Mend A Broken Heart":
