Here’s a great Jesus song he did after his string of hits in the ’70s. I think he should have chosen the girl, but that’s Al. Lou Reed was a fan.

Love that one, but I wanted something you could actually play in church. There’s Jesus songs and then there’s traditional gospel, and I know which one would get me to church.
I will also see Al Green at Jazzfest this year!
