You may disagree with his religion. You may not like his haircut, or his suit, or those sunglasses.

But it's hard to find fault with the joy this guy finds in life.

Love this guy.

 
i live about 10 minutes away from his house he has here. my friend is doing a lot of construction work out there now.

i've always liked hearing him sing

 
Al Green is amazing! If you don't already have it, get his recent box set which covers pretty much everything he did in the 60's and 70's.

I heard a duet of Simply Beautiful recently with he and Dana Owens, an incredible jazz singer who is AKA Queen Latifah. Yep, the rapster. She is a closet jazz singer, and uses her real name when she sings Jazz. In a million years, I would have never believed I would enjoy her singing, but this version is most special. Al comes in about a minute into the song, with a voice as smooth and soft as well worn catchers mitt covered in melted butter.

Simply Beautiful Duet
