STINGRAY DJAZZ CELEBRATES AL GREEN AT 80

Celebrate Al Green's 80th birthday with Stingray DJAZZ! The legendary soul singer is known for timeless hits like ‘Let’s Stay Together’. At the height of his fame in the 1970s, Green made the extraordinary decision to step away from his successful career in secular music to become a reverend. Dedicating his powerful voice to gospel music, he released several acclaimed albums throughout the 1980s and won multiple Grammy Awards in the gospel category. On April 13 at 21:00, Stingray DJAZZ presents the documentary ‘Rock Legends: Al Green’, which explores his iconic career, from the hit song ‘Let’s Stay Together’ to his decision to become a reverend at his own church. This is followed by ‘The Gospel According to Al Green’, a film that examines Green's transition from a hugely successful soul singer to a gospel artist and preacher. Through concert footage, rehearsals, a service at his Memphis church, and an extended interview, the film reveals Green as an electrifying performer, whether singing love songs or spirituals. Celebrate Al Green’s 80th birthday on Monday, April 13 from 21:00 – on Stingray DJAZZ!
