Song Corner: Al Green

The theme of today's Song Corner: This too shall pass.

Al Green ft. Booker T & the MGs: A Change Is Going to Come

Never one to co-opt this civil rights anthem for personal extravagance, but in this case it feels appropriate. The ragged quality of Al Green's voice, the raucous backing of the horns and organ, the presence of the crowd.

Listen: this take on Sam Cooke's finest will move you.


Hey, look, the sun's come out in Monterey and pushed the fog away.
