He also visited the Chumash last August, and spoke with the Santa Maria Times just before that performance. "I'm just a human being. I just sing some songs that you happen to know," Green said humbly in the interview. Green's nearly 50-year musical career, which began in gospel, has come full circle. Today, he regularly spends Sundays preaching to the Full Gospel Tabernacle Baptist congregation in Memphis, Tenn., the church he founded. The Chumash audience can expect to hear Green's early R&B and pop tunes like "Let's Stay Together," "Tired of Being Alone," and his rendition of the Bee Gees' "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart," a sampling of his gospel hits and newer songs like "Perfect for Me," from his latest "Everything's OK" album.... | |
