Career
It was in the early 1970s that Green carved his place in music history with a run of celebrated hits that made him not just an R&B star but a pop icon. Since 1976, however, Green has concentrated on gospel music (recording numerous albums, but only two pop offerings), and since 1979 has led his Baptist congregation, the Full Gospel Tabernacle, in Memphis, Tenn. For Everything’s OK, Green embraces both worlds by releasing a "secular" album under the name the Reverend Al Green - a symbolic gesture, perhaps, but a significant one nonetheless.

Latest album
Everything’s OK is not a gospel album, however - musically, it draws on classic R&B and pop, and the lyrics speak of love relationships and life lessons. But for Green, 58, it has come time to spread his message beyond the pulpit.

Nearly 30 years later, Everything’s OK returns to and updates the signature sound that Green and Mitchell pioneered, a sensuous groove layered with strings and horns that showcased Green's remarkable voice. And with this album, Green is coming full circle, embracing his world inside and outside the church.
