Al Green did not outright win the soul competition, he and otis redding have tied with an impressive 7 votes each (7 times larger then the number of people who read my blog). Otis will be the next one to be immortalized in a blog written at about a 3rd grade reading level.
Al Green, or Albert Greene as you may know him, is an American gospel and soul music singer. He reached the peak of his popularity in the 1970s, with hit singles such as "You Oughta Be With Me," "I'm Still In Love With You," "Love and Happiness", and "Let's Stay Together".
In 2005, Rolling Stone named him #65 in their list of the '100 Greatest Artists of All Time'. The nomination, written by Justin Timberlake, stated that "people are born to do certain things, and Al was born to make us smile." The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted Green in 1995, referring to him as "one of the most gifted purveyors of soul music." Greene has sold more than 20 million records, 3 of which, I have purchased.
I have the same suit at home.
I want to have Al Green's babies!
