Al Green on singing

I asked singer Al Green (“I’m So Tired of Being Alone” and “Let’s Stay Together”) what singing feels like for him. He gave a mystical answer (describing himself in the third person) that showed a total lack of fear of being himself.

“The Extraordinary is what goes into it for me. That’s what makes it click because you don’t know where Extraordinary is going to wind up at, and you don’t know really when Extraordinary is gonna start. That’s why I use backstage before the show goes on, prancing and flowing like a wild tiger because he [referring to himself] don’t know really when it’s gonna start. That’s why people overseas [at his European shows] were saying that it seems like he goes into some type of a trance when he is up there singing these songs.”
