Al Green
On Sunday mornings at the Full Gospel Tabernacle, about a mile away from Graceland, one can find another music legend: Al Green. He’s been a reverend there since 1976, leading services where he alters his smooth, sexually charged songs like “Here I Am (Come And Take Me)" to be about Jesus. In 2008, Green made a return to popular music with his album Lay It Down, which was produced by The Roots’ drummer ?uestlove and included duets with John Legend and Corinne Bailey Rae. With his dapper suits and bowtie, falsetto squeals, and pacing back and forth across the stage, Green definitely shows some of his church energy when he performs these days—which is a good thing.
