    😍 God Bless the Reverend Albert Leornes Greene! In addition to his remarkable musical talents... we can see his effusive love and respect for the other artists, the audience, indeed all humankind! We need more artists, academics, educators, scientists, politicians, business executives, parents and neighbors to light the way of goodness and Godliness... especially for our next generations, who look to us to light the way forward.

    Saw Al in concert at the University of Alabama in the 70’s. It was much different than ANY concert today…I was one of about 5 honkies (lol) in Memorial Coliseum, the rest my strong black brothers and mainly sisters (Al was hot back then). We had a blast, on the 4th row, with panties and red roses thrown to the stage. What a memory!!! Glad I can remember it!

    About 20 years I rented a car for a last minute all nighter road trip for an emergency business meeting in Paris. The radio was broken and there was one CD, Al Green's Greatest Hits. I fell in love with his music, best road trip music ever. I truly hope that he one day returns to the stage, it would be an honour to see him perform live.

    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.

Wow, it's a pleasure witnessing the virtuousity and rich natural soulful vocalese of Mr. Green. So glad he's still alive and well. Wish he'd also do a national tour ala Stevie Wonder, from 2015.
