THE GREATEST SOUL SINGER OF ALL TIME........ AL GREEN.. part 5


Between 1990 and 1995 Al Green had 3 Studio Albums out and several Greatest Hits or Complilations Albums (all on different Record Labels), the 3 Studio Albums and 2 of the Compilations are as follows:

1...1990... From My Soul... on the Arrival Label
2...1991...One in a Million...on the Sony Label
3...1992...Love is a Reality...on Word/Epic Label
4...1993...Dont Look Back...on RCA Label
5...1995...Your Hearts in Good Hands...MCA Label

Albums 1 2 & 4 were classed as Gospel Albums, but the only Album to chart in US Gospel Chart at number 29 was Album 3!!!!!!!! so you work that out!

Album 5 did chart in the US R&B Chart at number 57 though!

"From my Soul" Album had a couple of Tracks written by Arthur Baker, who 3 years later had more Success with Al Green.

"One in a Million" was a Compilation of Previous Gospel tracks!

"Love is a Reality" as I said was not a Gospel Music Album, but did chart in Gospel Charts!

"Dont look Back" had some Great Tracks, including "Best Love" Love is a Beautiful Thing " Keep on Pushing Love" & One Love, the "Dont Look Back" track featured on Sax and Vocals "Curtis Stigers"

The Executive Producer on this album was Arthur Baker!

"Your Hearts in Good Hands" was a strange Album, it contained 10 Tracks in total with 8 Tracks coming from the previous Album " Dont Look Back" but the Title Track "Your Hearts in Good Hands" was a Great Track!

Apart the usual "Best of's" etc Al Green was not going to release another Studio Album (I Cant Stop) for another 8 years!

Download some Great Al Green Tracks!

NEW JOB, NEW HOUSE!!!


I have tried hard to think of the correct dates and times around this period, but I cannot remember, firstly did we move House first or was it my new Job first! and what month did this happen!

I guessing this, but I think I changed Jobs first, which would have been around September / October of 1979, and we moved around middle to late October 1979!

But whatever the facts were, it was a busy time, not forgetting as well Susan was Pregnant!

I was working as a Butcher for Dewhurst's, which included getting meat ready to sell and serving Customer's!

I say "getting meat ready to sell" in my case as I was the new chap in the Shop, a couple of my main jobs were getting the Mince ready and cutting up Chicken's into portion's, not too taxing, as specially as I had been a Chef for about 5 years, so cutting up Meat and the Cuts of meat were quite easy!

Cutting up Steak and the better cuts of meat was down to the " more experienced Butcher's", who worked in the Shop, I always found this a bit ridiculous, as I had probably cut and cooked more Meat/Joints/Steaks than most of the other workers put together!

I got on with most of the worker's and actually eventually lived next door to one of them, about a year or to later!

I didnt like the Manager that much, a Chap called "Ernie" cant remember his last name though, I dont think he liked it because I did'nt need too much Teaching, because of my previous Job!

When we eventually moved from our One Room Accomodation to our rented Three Bedroomed House, It was Great, all that space!

We had permission to Decorate anywhere we liked, which eventually we did, from top to bottom!

Every Friday night I had to go to the Landlord's House (it was only 5 minutes away) and pay the Rent, a grand total of £7.00 per week, but over 30 year's ago, that was quite alot out of my wages!

See picture above, I went back to our first House (pictures are of front & back of house), it still looks the same, we actually past it at least 4 times a week, its about 2 miles from where we live now
