My Take
To me, Al Green is the dictionary definition of soul. What fascinates me is the duality in that voice: it can ache with earthly desire on 'Let's Stay Together' and then turn skyward in pure gospel worship. Few artists ever carry both the sacred and the sensual in a single throat without one undercutting the other. That he rose from small-town Arkansas to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Kennedy Center, and the pulpit as an ordained pastor only deepens my respect. Decades on, that silky tone hasn't lost a drop of its warmth. He remains, for me, untouchable.
