Read this is September 2017.
After reading this biography I have strongly mixed feelings about Al Green now. An amazing singer and performer… an awful nasty person with moments of empathy. He was mostly a cruel person after those hitmaking years and his life was like a tv soap opera drama. He was terrible with women and incredibly cheap with his money. His Christian ministry was a bogus money making attempt after his hits dried up.Despite that he was an incredible performer and singer in his time. I love his music and even some of the later comeback albums. I guess I could say I was a die hard Al Green fan but it was very painful to read about his personal life.

- Back Up Train, 1967
