Al Green

Al Green is a soul singer whose recordings with producer Willie Mitchell helped define the sound of Memphis in the 1970s. His light tenor, gospel phrasing and intimate delivery became central to songs including Let’s Stay Together, I’m Still in Love with You and Take Me to the River.

In 1976 he became pastor of the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Memphis, and gospel music became an increasingly important part of his recording career. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
