What connects celebrity chefs and pop stars is
their fine nose for ingredients, especially when
hot and spicy ones are mixed with milder elements
to create an aromatic result. A combination of
'sweet' and 'funky' is the secret of Al Green?s
gloriously sentimental and sensual pop songs,
which in the sexually free Seventies were often
referred to as ?songs to make love by?. What
swings along gently is, however, Al Green?s subtly
controlled falsetto, which he can tone right to
the threshold of audibility. But watch out! This
music belts out some fiery sounds right from the
very first number. The sinuous, swinging request
in the brilliant hit single 'Call Me', the relaxed
and groovy 'Stand Up', with its sharp wind
interjections which demand one?s unerring
attention, are typical for Green?s style, just as
is his almost disturbing capability to gain
comfort from loneliness ('I?m So Lonesome, I Could
Cry'). This rhythmically powered music can best
be described as light, intensive, dynamic but
never flashy ('Your Love Is Like The Morning
Sun'). It finds its earthly culmination in soul
('I?m Waiting') and spiritual depth.
