Al Green

Al Green was a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame soul singer before something happened that changed his life forever. He had successful hits in the 1970s, such as “Tired of Being Alone” and “Love and Happiness.” Al’s life was great. He was successful and happy with his girlfriend, Mary Woodson White. Then, everything changed when Mary assaulted Al and took her own life at his Memphis home….

Al Green needed something positive in his life after these tragic events, so he decided to be ordained as a pastor at the Full Gospel Tabernacle in Memphis, Tennessee. Al didn’t turn to religion for the pay but needed a change after losing his girlfriend, and it seemed right. He now works for the church full time and goes by Reverend Al Green.
