Al Green

BIOGRAPHy

Al Green has been called ‘the quintessential soul man’ and certainly his highly distinctive vocal style has not only assured him a permanent place in contemporary history but inspired a whole generation of young singers. An eight-time Grammy winner and inductee into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Al Green has been thrilling audiences the world over with his emotive blend of gospel and R&B for close to three decades now. Al began his solo career in 1970, and he spent the next eight years racking up an unprecedented eight million-selling singles. Fourteen of Al’s albums appeared on the nation’s Top 200 charts, five of which were certified gold. Al’s exciting live performances garnered rave reviews and won him a loyal fan base throughout the world. Other triumphs included a stint in the Broadway musical, “Your Arm’s Too Short To Box With God” (with Patti LaBelle), and in 1983, Al recorded his first all-gospel album, “The Lord Will Make A Way.” Over the next few years, Reverend Green recorded nine best selling gospel albums. He returned to the secular music charts in 1987 with “Everything Is Gonna Be Alright.” A year later, a duet with Annie Lennox covering the ’70s classic, “Put A Little Love In Your Heart,” gave Al a Top 20 pop hit. Al released Lay It Down in 2008. While continuing with his ministry in Memphis, his global audience has continued to expand. Al Green is a one-of-a-kind artist, a soul legend whose music bridges generations, and is quite simply timeless. He continues to dazzle audiences everywhere.
