Summary:  "One of the greatest soul singers of all time, Al Green has blessed listeners with some of the biggest hits of the past fifty years. "Love and Happiness," "I'm Still in Love with You," "Let's Get Married," and "I'm Tired of Being Alone" are but a sampling of the iconic songs that led a generation to embrace love in perhaps the most tumultuous period in this country's history. The music legend has sold over 20 million albums and been sampled by numerous rappers, and even President Obama has been known to sing a chorus or two. The now-Bishop Green is without a doubt one of the most beloved yet inscrutable figures ever to grace the popular music stage, and he has managed to magically sidestep being successfully scrutinized in print. Until now. Jouralist Jimmy McDonough tackles this most elusive of subjects, presenting the definitive portrait of a man everyone knows but few understand, revealing the contrary, tortured, and solitary individual beneath, a man who spent decades dancing an uneasy tightrope between the sacred and the profane. From his childhood in the backwaters of Arkansas to commanding the stage in front of throngs of lusting fans to addressing a very different audience from the pulpit of his own church, we bear witness to the creation of some of the most electrifying soul music ever recorded; learn the story behind Green's colorful down-home Memphis label, Hi Records; and unravel one of the last great mysteries in popular music: Al Green"--Provided by publisher.
