Al Green

I started singing when I was a little kid. I was about nine when we had a group with my four brothers. We sang spirituals. The old regular thing.

Free music, to me, is music without boundaries. It's music that... says you don't have to play a blues in three chord change. See what I'm saying? Music that can go from any range.

Teach success before teaching responsibility. Teach them to believe in themselves. Teach them to think, 'I'm not stupid'. No child wants to fail. Everyone wants to succeed.

I'm thankful for every moment.

I have found people on both sides of the aisle, white and black, that'll give you the shirt off their back. And I've also found people that won't give you a piece of bread if you're starving to death.

Al Green Explores Your Mind' is really kind of a very personal record for me.
