      Personally I would probably just have been sitting there with my eyes closed and taking it all in. If I jumped out of my seat I would distract myself from it. It's the same thing when people scream and clap through the song or before the song has ended… I want to hear it all.

He gave me a rose because all those big women was crushing me. He say my little face, walked right to me on that barricade with a long stem rose.. I still feel special today..

      Stein Sorhaug I agree, but rappers and "R&B" singers in modern time are about violence, pride, sex and drugs. Al Green isn't the only one...Sam Cooke, Vandross, Gaye, are a few notable BLACK artists that were awe inspiring and soulful.

    • @NateKyng
      @NateKyng 10 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I agree to an extent but a majority of rap, listened to mainly by blacks, is about gang violence. Modern rock bands and country bands have sung songs with similar messages, and it goes unheard.
      Blacks look to role models of their race more so than anyone else. Al Green should be a role model before Jay Z.

Later in life my Big Sis took him to the VA because he was complaining about his chest. Sis told me when they returned for the results they said cancer was through-out his body. He was still in Germany went I got there in August 1977 and we had some nice times over there. Mom and the older ones are gone now and it's sure amazing how generations change. So many of Our Yonger people don't even know The LORD'S PRAYER, something we were taught as soon as we were old enough to leave "Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep."
