Al Green: Call Me

Al Green is a Southern soul singer from Forrest City, Arkansas, who embodies the smoother and sweeter side of soul music, which, in the hands of the likes of James Brown, Ray Charles, and Otis Redding, was a far grittier genre. Green’s songs tell tales of true love and extol the virtues of fidelity. His biggest hit, “Let’s Stay Together,” is a primary example of Green’s brand of sweet soul.

Green would become one of the biggest soul stars of the Seventies with a steady string of hits, which included “I Can’t Get Next to You,” “Tired of Being Alone,” “Let’s Stay Together,” “I’m Still in Love with You,” and “Call Me.” Green’s hits were recorded for Hi Records in Memphis under the direction of producer Willie Mitchell.

Green’s best albums include “Green Is Blues" (1969), “Al Green Gets Next to You" (1970), “Let's Stay Together" (1972), “I'm Still in Love with You” (1972), and “Call Me" (1973).
