Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day


Artist:Al Green

Song:Love And Happiness (Live)

Album:Anthology





Al Green was a huge R & B star in the 70s. Most of his recordings were produced by Willie Mitchell on Hi Records. When Green decided to leave secular music and return to his ministry in the late 70s, he didn't take Mitchell with him. Green has always had that conflict in his music. He's a man of God but he also recorded some of the most sensual music in history. This 4CD Anthology includes all his hits on Hi along with some exclusive live tracks including this version of Love And Happiness. It's for completists. Al Green's Greatest Hits is probably good enough for most fans. It looks like Green has come to peace with his conflicts. He reunited with Willie Mitchell in 2003 for I Can't Stop on Blue Note. It's great music and did so well it was followed up in 2005 with Everything's OK. Al Green is back and is as good as ever.
