How long has Al Green been in Congress?
Al started using drugs and moving in with his prostitution-related girlfriend. As a senior in high school, Green started the vocal group Al Greene & the Creations, and Palmer James and Curtis Rodgers founded the independent record company Hot Line Music Journal.
As Al Greene & the Soul Mates, the group recorded “Back Up Train” in 1968, and it was later made available on Hot Line. At #46 on the “Cash Box” Top 100 chart, “Back Up Train” peaked.
Al met Memphis record producer Willie Mitchell while performing with the group; during a 1969 concert in Texas, Al sang with Mitchell’s band. Green then joined Mitchell’s record company, Hi Records.
