As a blues rocker, I felt a connection to him when he sat with his eyes closed singing along to Catfish Blues at the Whitehouse Blues Summit.

17. Al Green doesn't have "A" best song

He has best songs in 3 different areas.

Love songs - he's famous for them and "Let's Stay Together" and "Love and Happiness" are super duper famous, BUT this song is probably partly responsible for at least one of my children:

Gospel was his 1st home. This song is a sermon:

And finally he made songs that simply have to be played at the barbecue when every one pours their second cup of brown liquor:

You're right. You win. Those take me back to the days of spying on my parents dancing in the basement. Memories of the strobe or blue light flashing.....good times. Great songs.

For that same reason. I go back and mine them for new songs and artists.

And I never said you were wrong - You opinions are VALID! (To you anyway.)

But Al Green? everyone's favorite Al Green song is the BEST Al Green song. No wrong answers GLAM, this ain't Calculus
