Career
Having said that Green had been attempting to sing like Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, and James Brown, Mitchell became his vocal mentor, assisting him in discovering his own voice. Green deleted the final "e" from his name before releasing his first album with Hi, Green. Green Is Blues (1969), a modest success, was released subsequently. Al Green Gets Next to You (1971), the Temptations' "I Can't Get Next to You" in a slower blues-oriented version, was included on his follow-up album. The album also included his first big hit, "Understanding of Being Alone," which sold a million copies and was rated gold, becoming the first of eight gold singles Green would produce between 1971 and 1974.
Green's new album, Let's Stay Together (January 1972), solidified his position in soul music. The title track was his highest hit to date, peaking at No. 73. One on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B charts. The album was the first to be certified gold. I'm Still in Love with You (October 1972) became platinum with the help of the singles "Look What You Done for Me" and the title track, both of which went to the top ten on the Hot 100. "You Ought to Be With Me," "Call Me (Come Back Home)," and "Here I Am" were three top-ten hits on his first album, Call Me (April 1973). Green's album "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," "Simply Beautiful," "What a Wonderful Thing Love Is," and "Take Me to the River," later released by new wave band Talking Heads and blues artist Syl Johnson.
Livin' for You, Green's album, was awarded gold on December 1973. "Let's Get Married," "Sha-LaLa (Makes Me Happy)" and "Full of Fire" continued to be his top R&B hits over the next two years, including "Live for You," "Let's Get Married," "Let's Get Married," "Let's Get Married," and "Full of Fire."
Green's record sales fell slightly by the time Green's album, The Belle Album, was released in 1977, partially due to Green's personal problems during this period and his desire to become a minister. Truth n' Time, his fourth Hi Records album, was released in 1978 but didn't turn into a hit.
Green's R&B sales plummeted and received mixed feedback from critics as he pushed his numbers to a new low. When performing in Cincinnati in 1979, he broke himself off the stage, and felt God's warning was sent. He then shifted his attention away from pastoring his church and gospel music.
Greenfield released a number of gospel albums from 1981 to 1989. Green, a Hi Records employee, has released The Lord Will Make a Way, his first of six albums on the Christian label Myrrh Records, although he was still under contract with Hi Records. The album's title song would win Green later this year in the Best Soul Gospel Performance category. Green appeared in Patti LaBelle's Broadway play "Your Arms Too Short to Box with God" in 1982. In 1984, Robert Mugge directed his documentary film Gospel According to Al Green, which also included reports about his life and a video from his church. He reunited with Willie Mitchell and Angelo Earl for He Is the Light, his first album for A&M Records, in 1985. Soul Survivor, his 1987 sequel, had the minor hit "Everything's Gonna Be Alright" at No. 1, which attracted no. The Billboard R&B chart ranks 22 on the Billboard R&B chart, his first top-40 R&B hit since "I Feel Great" in 1978.
Green, an American singer, performed "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" with Annie Lennox in 1988. The song, which was featured on the soundtrack to the film Scrooged, became Green's first top-ten pop hit since 1974. Green's "The Message is Love" with producer Arthur Baker in 1989 had a smash. He recorded the theme tune to the short-lived show Good Sports two years ago. Don't Look Back, a 1993-19 record of production by Keith Coveney, who reunited with RCA and Baker as a producer. Green received his ninth Grammy Award for his relationship with Lyle Lovett on "Funny How Time Slips Away," which was their duet. Your Heart's In Good Hands, Green's 1995 album, was released around the time that Green was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "Keep On Pushing Love," the album's one single, was described as "invoking the original, sparse sound of his [Green's] early hits."
Take Me to the River, Green's autobiography, was released in 2000. He received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and appeared on Ann Nesby's album "Put It On Paper" two years later. Green was reunited with Willie Mitchell in 2003 for the album, "I Can't Stop." Green re-recorded his previous song, "Simply Beautiful," with Queen Latifah on the latter's album, The Dana Owens Album, a year later. Green and Mitchell worked on Everything's OK in 2005.
Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and James Poyser produced Green's 2008 album, Lay It Down. It was his first album to debut in the top ten since the 1970s. "Stay With Me (By the Sea), a minor R&B hit with the ballad, was released on the album, starring John Legend and also featuring duets with Anthony Hamilton and Corinne Bailey Rae. Green confessed that he would have like to duet with Marvin Gaye in those days: "People didn't sing together like they do now."
On the album, Green sang "People Get Ready." Green performed "Let's Stay Together" on Later... with Jools Holland in 2010. Al Green's first new recording in almost ten years, "Before the Next Teardrop Falls," the most popularly recorded by Freddy Fender in 1975. It was created by Matt Ross-Spang and is part of Amazon Music's latest "Produced By" collection.
