Born April 13, 1946, Albert Greene, in Forrest City, Arkansas. The son of a sharecropper, he started performing at age ten in a Forrest City quartet called the Greene Brothers; he dropped the final "e" from his last name years later as a solo artist.Al Green is listed on Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Singers at number 14. So it should come as no surprise that at 63 he’s still able to hit all the right notes of his younger days with his most notable songs Let’s Stay Together, Call Me, and Tired of Being Alone. His new CD and tour of last year might get him his first Pop Grammy with Lay it Down.
