SYDNEY FESTIVAL 2010 (JANUARY 9)
'One of soul’s greatest singers.' - New York Times
'After four decades of shows, the legendary Reverend Al Green has lost none of his power.' - The Times
One of the all-time great voices of soul, Al Green, brings his joyous musical tour de force to Sydney for the first time.
Green’s extraordinary voice became known to the world through a string of hits in the early 1970s like ‘Let’s Stay Together’ and ‘Love and Happiness’. These songs are etched into the minds of generations of music fans.
In a career spanning more than four decades, the minister of L-O-V-E has sold over 20 million albums, won 11 Grammy Awards, been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and is the recipient of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
Join Al Green, his 13-piece band, singers and dancers for a passionate set of love-fuelled classics. Rejoice!
Presented with the assistance of Chugg Entertainment.
Al Green will be supported by The Ray Mann Three.
